The year 2012 is special for literature enthusiasts, because it reminds one of two literary giants – Charles Dickens and Saadat Hassan Manto – for somewhat similar reason. This happens to be the year celebrating the bicentenary of Charles Dickens, the prolific 19th century author, whose importance in literary circles can hardly be over stated. This also is the year when Saadat Hassan Manto, the controversial yet widely read Urdu writer, would’ve celebrated his 100th birthday if he were alive. The English Literary Association of Jamia Millia Islamia is attempting to bring together the two master storytellers in a fest dedicated to celebrating their genius.
