Dramatic Reading of Manto's 'Do Gaddhay' by Kausar Munir
Read more
The essay Do Gaddhay (The Great Pothole Mystery) was written by Manto after he had moved to Pakistan and in the context of the newly-formed nation, but it may very well have been about India. Unsurprisingly, it seems just as topical in contemporary India. As the agent provocateur, Manto puts in perspective the glaring injustices and the hierarchies that defy logic but repeat, seemingly ad infinitum; where the comfort of ministers continues to take precedence over the masses they claim to represent; where communist is a vilified word still bandied about without much thought; and the relationship between the government and citizens is, well, abusive. He expresses his own confusion over the status quo and says he will always regret that no one could explain to him why it was so. This dramatic reading by lyricist Kausar Munir, was recorded at the American Express Bakery building in Byculla, Mumbai. The building came into existence in 1935 on what was then known as Clare Road. Manto is believed to have lived on this street after his marriage, in a complex then known as Adelphi Chambers. It's a fragment of the city the writer inhabited for a large part of his adult life, from 1936 to 1948 (with a brief hiatus to Delhi in 1941), and for which he remained nostalgic till his death in 1955 at the age of 42. This is an attempt to place Manto's words in the Bombay he left some 70 odd years ago. Read more on http://www.firstpost.comNews & Politics
