Celebrating

the Manto Centenary

With Shamim Hanfi

The Hindi Urdu Flagship at the University of Texas at Austin
participated in a week-long festival to celebrate the birth
centenary of Saadat Hassan Manto, a critical figure in twentieth
century Urdu writing. Renowned Urdu scholar Shamim Hanfi
was chief guest and delivered a number of fascinating lectures
and informal talks to HUF students and the wider UT community.

This album is a series of brief talks on various aspects
of Manto's writing delivered by HUF students, graduate students,
and faculty.
