Abstract

Foregrounding Nandita Das’s Hindi biopic Manto (2018), this chapter taps into the traumatic memories of the renowned Urdu short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto through his life and works in order to unpack the violent history of the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 and its haunting afterlives. In Manto, Das’s textual, intertextual, and intermedial mediations map out the complicated links between memorialization, historical truth, and aesthetic representation. Das turns the film screen into an ‘curatorial’ scape where counter-history is unfolded and enunciated by means of minor, marginalized, repressed and plurivocal memories. The chapter delineates that the mnemo-history and the mnemo-political, that is, what we know of the past of Manto and his times, can only be understood in all its complexity through Das’s mnemopoetics, how we remember it.
