"Toba Tek Singh" is surely the most famous story about Partition‚ and very possibly the best one. I’d argue that it is in fact the best‚ and that most of the other good candidates are also by Manto.

PRESENTATION ON SAÁDAT HASAN MANTO Of the several hundred stories‚ the court found only two stories in which he had transgressed the law and was liable for punishment. But his critics and the custodians of society declared Manto to be retrogressive and licentious. Even the so-called "progressives" betrayed him.
