 A Woman- the one who suffers

Saadat Hasan Manto is one of India's most famous authors. At the point, his prose was

innovative and they were well established. He discussed rights for women and equality for

women. 'License' is a common short story of his. The main heroine of this story is Nesti. It is a

tale about how in a patriarchal culture woman are fighting.

Abu and Nesti were key figures in the short story. Abu was a beautiful safe guide. He

encountered Nesti one day on the highway. In his trainer, Nesti asked Abu to take her a spin.

Abu was still beautiful and offers to bring her freely to the station. She was seventeen years old

when Abu agreed to marry Nesti. She was little shocked when Abu asked Nesti to marry, but

Abu liked her attitude toward him. She said she was going to marry Abu after Abu kissed her.

Before marring Abu, the typical Nesti shows were a trustworthy woman who wanted to be strong

and optimistic. Nesti was able to take her own desire to support Abu without consulting her

family in a patriarchal culture. The class disparities between Abu and her have also been

overlooked. Possibly because young girls marry always anyone her father wanted, Nesti gave in

to Abu so quickly. The elderly man was most of them. A young girl such as Nesti was drawn to

the good young Abu. While it was like Nesti was trustworthy, she trusted those patriarchal views

as well. Abu was perhaps the first man who held the hand of Nesti because she thought that Nesti

wasn't a chaste female anymore. The mother told her children they can find love with that guy,

and Abu hold Nesti's hand, even if they talk or take from them sweets. As he defiled him, she felt

she would marry him. She had married Abu able. She didn't think there was any way else.

Nobody's really going to marry her. She was drawn to him, though, on the other hand. She knew

that her father possibly would marry her away with a much older person than her when she went

back to her home, so she agreed to marry an alien with whom she thought that she had a

2
relationship with herself instead of accepting her father's demands. When she decided to marry

Abu, Nesti was a very young girl. India is a highly patriarchal society. India. Father will be the

head of the household and decide everything. That is a social tradition. That was the

conventional approach, father chose the husband of their daughter. Nesti has left her dad behind

and met a coach who wasn't as well-known as her family. Her father was irritated by this betrayal

and Abu was imprisoned for marrying Nesti under age. If he were the one who choose the

husband, he would not have any pro married her underage female daughter. Her father tried to

take her with him after Abu had been sentenced to two years, but Nesti declined to go, but left

her alone. He wouldn't have done that if he was tensed around Nesti. Yet Abu was finished his

vengeance, in prison. Therefore, he was no longer concerned with Nesti. Abu purchased Nesti a

pair of Nesti loved earrings. She further used wear them all the time. But it was difficult for Nesti

to live without much capital after Abu was arrested. Abu saw Nesti one day in the prison without

her earrings. Abu questioned Nesti where she'd gone for her earrings. She didn't remember, Nesti

said, but she could interpret her way of saying as she had to sell earrings to have money. Nesti

was very unhappy after the death of Abu. Without Abu, she felt powerless. At first, it seems as if

Abu was the story's protagonist but Nesti was the story's prologue. She had to do all by herself

with the death of Abu and her financial condition. But after a couple of months, she became

aware of the true faces of people. When men requested her to marriage her to benefit from her

insecure condition. However, she didn't break when Nesti had no income. It angrily and

courageously made her.  She attempted in her own hands to take the matter. As she experienced

it with Abu, she began to drive the coach by herself. She was amazing at it. She was very good.

She had passengers still. Everybody needed her coach to fly. But Nesti realized they only offered

her money to pose next to her. Nesti thought they hadn't purchased the ride they purchased her.

3
But Nesti did not stop. But he did not stop. She decided to be autonomous. But when the city

councilmen called her one day, she said that without her license, she couldn't push her coach.

Women cannot get a coach driving license. With members of the committee, she felt powerless

and claimed that women could do something, but they can't push why. The men answered, they

could sell their body if they wanted to make money. She then broke before the patriarchal laws.

She traded her horse and was allowed no issue to sell her body. This is the role of patriarchal

culture in women. If there is no husband yet, then she can't survive without guys, first father,

then husband. Since it was a man's job, she can't make a good job to run her life. So free of the

honor in society, she was pleasing to all. It's pretty much offering a respectable career. This is

what we are taught by capitalist culture. In several ways Abu did not distinguish too much from

the other men who begged Nesti after Abu's death to marry them. Ever since he first met Nesti,

Abu acted improperly. He fell madly in love with the young girl when he saw her first, but the

girl had no idea about it. When Nesti entered the coach, Abu told Nesti a lot, Nesti obviously

worried him at first. She was awkward. She invited Abu to bring her to the station Abu didn't

listen to her and took her back with Nesti to another venue. Without her permission, he kissed

Nesti's hand and asked her to marry him. Nesti wasn't ready for anything that happened. Without

her permission, all happened because Abu felt he should tell Nesti all this stuff. Abu said he'll

quit it all if Nesti marries him. He just has to be with Nesti ti. This is a brilliant example of men

used to regard women as properties. However, we can also see that Nesti reciprocated. She liked

Abu too and after the coach trip she decided to marry him. Much has been pledged to Abu Nesti.

He loves Nesti and respects her nesti, while he could not live up to all his commitments, so she

never must suffer. Though in many respects Abu and the other men were alike, he never

4
compelled himself. He continued after receiving Nesti's approval. He felt bad in his last moment

of injustice, too, to marry her when he was unable to provide about her as he promised.

We can see that our world has not changed too much after reading the novel. Women's

oppressions are also going on. You still do what men have set for you. However, the climate

changes. Women in society want their proper position. You can do all that a person can do. Men

don't have to kill a woman and have her reputation destroyed. Before the committee snapped its

pride, Nesti was confident and courageous. She was thereby separated from the company and

abandoned her honourable career and began selling her body.
