Firecrackers
After the Supreme Court’s order of banning firecrackers in the run up to the festival of Diwali in Delhi and NCR, a raging debate ensued about tradition vs. modernity or protecting people’s right to breathe. In this brilliant essay, Saadat Hasan Manto is at his farcical best and highlights the same issue which raged 70 or more years before this latest one – about firecrackers!

Manto's take on societal norms is stuff of legends. This tinny collection asks you some big questions and stands the tests of time, across mindsets. Read and enjoy. It will prompt you to think.
