Sitara by Manto

Posted: Mar 26, 2008 Wed 07:04 pm     Views: 264    Interacts: 1

Today I read "sitara" from Manto's book Loud Speaker. I was wondering if it's a true story ? I enjoyed reading it a lot, especially MANTO'S STYLE IN WHICH HE NARRATES THE STORY AS AN INNOCENT FRIEND:)
Though i disagree to him at the conclusion of the deteriorating health aspects of siataras subjects:) but still its interesting.Could someone please let me know if this all really happened?
