Manto, a literary writer and a realist, was greatly concerned with the social and moral issues of those who eke out a marginal existence. To him, all humans have common nature and feelings irrespective of their social stratum. But the class concious hypocrites perturbed him much. In his writing, he thus addressed the bitter realities of the society for which he, on the one hand, maintained a tenor with his readers while om the other hand, was labelled with allegations like his predecessors. He wrote on vulgarity sans being vulgar and without any discrimination, provided a platform to address the restive interests of all.
