The legendary Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) wrote only one sketch before the partition of India in 1947. And, that was the profile of his contemporary and friend, Ismat Chughtai (21 August 1915 – 24 October 1991), who has been regarded as one of the most influential fiction writers in both India and Pakistan. Ismat became a sensation during Manto’s time with stories such as ‘Lihaaf’, ‘Puncture’, ’Daayen’, ‘Saas’, ‘Genda’, ‘Neera’, ‘Uff Ye Bacche’ and ’Til’. Her novel ‘Terhi Lakeer’, a semi-autobiographical tale of a fiery-spirited, middle-class Muslim girl bent on exploring the shape and nature of consuming desire, has been acknowledged a literary masterpiece

Both Manto and Chughtai faced court cases on the charges of being obscene for explicitly exploring the themes of sexuality.
