Abstract
In the nineteenth century, Indian novels were more directed towards the social interest with political consciousness as the younger generation was more aware of social and political happenings. Indian novels in English originated from different regions of the country by different vernacular writers. Despite geographical, cultural and social differences, themes depicted in the novels shared a common thread of nationalism, colonial rule and post-colonialism. The Progressive Writers’ Movement was majorly instrumented by authors like Mulkraj Anand, Syed Sajjad Zahir, Ahmed Ali, Rashid Jehan, Attia Hosain and Mahmuduz Zafar etc. They were the trendsetters for modern writers in Indian writing in English. This current paper discusses briefly the literary contribution of Saadat Hasan Manto, a noteworthy Progressive writer.
