"This is the story of those seventy-two human beings who confronted imperialism for the sake of human rights. This fourteen-hundred year old story is today's story, for even today a human being's greatest enemy is another human... Even today, light is on guard to combat darkness." (Foreword to Ismat Chughtai's novel “Aik Qatra Khoon”)

"Ismat Chughtai: Rebel and iconoclast, controversial and courageous, is one of Urdu's most important writers. Feminist by instinct, long before it was fashionable to be one, she was a progressive who know that literature changes more lives than political pamphlets can. At a time when women were writing only about how to be a good wife and mother, she set about exposing middle class mores and social hypocrisy, through sharp observation and a rapier-like wit.

Chughtai is the author of dozens of short stories, 4 novellas, 3 novels, essays, reminiscences and plays. With her husband, Shahid Lateef, she produced and co-directed 6 films and produced 6 more independently."

Tahira Naqvi is a translator, writer, Senior Urdu Language lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. She has translated the works of Sa'adat Hasan Manto, Munshi Prem Chand, Khadija Mastoor, and Ismat Chughtai into English.
