| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Few authors have blasted open the doors of convention as forcefully as Ismat Chughtai (1915–1991). In doing so, she brought to life stories seldom heard outside the zanana. Her unabashed, often risqué style of writing fetched her much notoriety in her lifetime, but today she is adulated as a radical voice well ahead of her times. <br/>One of the four pillars of the modern Urdu short story, along with Saadat Hasan Manto, Krishan Chandar, and Rajinder Singh Bedi, Chughtai has become enshrined in the canon of Indian literature. Yet, even twenty-six years after her death, her primary identity remains that of a pioneer of women’s fiction. <br/>This collection of writings on Chughtai, a hundred years after her birth, curates critical readings of her by modern scholars as well as her contemporaries. Read along with her interviews, where she speaks her mind in her own inimitable style on a range of thorny issues from lesbianism to communism, these writings offer a more holistic way of understanding Chughtai beyond narrow gender terms—as a politically aware and socially engaged writer, a champion of individual liberty, and, ultimately, an artist concerned with humanity. |
