Ok, I admit, I am lost.

First of all, why Manto vs Ibn-e-Insha.

Second, I don`t think there was anything in either character that remotely resembled anyone of them.

Third, there are no rules of length here but I believe I have never seen/read a shorter one Act play ever before.

Fourth, I was expecting more elaboration and critique on their writing techniques. Felt dissappointed.

In case you don`t take criticism very well..., I apologize.
