Toba Tek Singh, Saadat Hasan Manto

[vegfam]

In a bizarre and disturbing case of ‘revenge rape’ is Pakistan, 12 people have been arrested for arranging a ‘revenge rape‘. According to reports, the people agreed and arranged for the rape of a young woman by a man whose sister was raped by the later victim’s brother a day earlier.

The incident happened in Pirmahal police station’s jurisdictional area in the Toba Tek Singh region of Pakistan’s Punjab. According to reports, on March 20, a man in the Gharibabad area raped a woman. However, the man’s family approached the victim’s family and requested them not to press charges. The family of the victim allegedly agreed to reconciliation only if the brother of the victim is allowed to rape the perpetrator’s sister. 12 members of both the families allegedly agreed to the idea.

The families even prepared legal documents in agreement for not pressing charges against each other. The earlier victim’s brother allegedly raped the perpetrator’s sister on March 21.

Pakistani father and brother raped their daughter / sister and then strangled her to death in Toba Tek Singh. These m3n deserve to be brutalized in the most pa!nful way possible. I honestly don’t care about them facing rac!sm. De@th to them and their misogynist nation

Women who k!ll their husbands and sons for raping their daughters are queens

I was flipping thru this collection of Manto’s short stories because I wanted to give amma ‘Toba Tek Singh’ (she loved it) and I realized that introduction has a little observation that’s lived in my head ever since: and this critic observes that Manto ‘has typically a profound sympathy for women that is related but not quite feminist.’ And I suppose I do have a kind of interest in things like that when I’m reading ‘literature’ from the past—-these kind of tendencies of recognition that are not grounded neccessarily in ideology, ‘just through attention’ etc.

anyway I have this collection of Norman Mailer’s essays I got for a few bucks and he has this whole early essay where he’s writing for ONE magazine about homophobia, his own (he openly refers to his own earlier characters as explicitly homophobic) and then writes:

which, I dunno. What does it mean that I found this refreshing in 2023? Reasonable, principled? Mailer’s a weirdo for sure but
