CP Question for Session 4

What are the various ways in which the term 'madness' can be read in this story? (Toba Tek

Singh).

"Toba Tek Singh" is Manto's masterpiece, which describes Muslims, Hindus, and Sikh lunatics
in an asylum of a newly made country. It also describes how these lunatics react towards the
partition of subcontinent India. Manto utilizes madness as a metaphor in this story to highlight
different aspects of that period and how India's partition drives people mad with religious hatred
and elements of communalism,
