MANTO : AN ALTER EGO OF THE SUBALTERN

Abstract

The Subaltern is able to talk. 1 - this statement
calls into question the voicelessness of the
disadvantaged groups who have been pushed
to the outside of society. Since the beginning of
time, the subaltern segment has been silenced,
and the mainstream has gone deep within
themselves and reduced their level of selfassurance.
Hegemonic authority has been
withdrawn from the whole sect. The situation is
far more challenging for women since
colonialism and patriarchy work to keep them
silenced and prohibit them from speaking,
respectively. Manto is a well-known author of
stories. He writes in a new genre. The diasporic
element of the new milieu's literature, which
deals with racial relations and a strong need for
re-identification, is one of its shared specialities.
Millions of people in India and its subcontinent
will be displaced as a result of this, which is an
awful reflection of the reality and authenticity
of the new environment. Manto was
independent, disobedient, and strangely
interested in tearing away the mask that the
phallocentric society wore. He approached this
with no malice. He wasn't afraid to speak the
obvious truth about those who hang around on
the periphery of the marginalized circle at the
time of the partition, including day laborers,
hookers, wagers, pimps, bullies, and inebriated
souls. He has, rather than honoring these ladies,
shown the abhorrent and horrible aspect of the
abuse given to them.
