काली सलवार और अन्य कहानियाँ by Saadat Hasan Manto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Peopled with whores, pimps, smugglers, wastrels, charlatans and quacks. Some bits are incomprehensible due to either the language or the context. The allegorical “Dekh Kabira Roya” seems to comment on the then existing political situation. There is a poignant tale of two friends from same regiment now at war after Partition over Kashmir. Then there is a touching story of a pubescent girl.
