Abstract : Manto is a significant figure in Urdu fiction of the 20th century. His literary works provide a deep insight into the social issues faced by individuals. One of his short stories, titled "Tetwaal ka kutta" is set in the context of the Kashmir conflict. Although critical opinions of this story often analyze it as a reflection of Hindu-Muslim antagonism, the story itself presents conflicting views on this matter. The soldiers' reaction to the uniformity of the situation, the natural scenery's charm, and the portrayal of both harmony and conflict with an animal all add layers to the story's meaning beyond its general context. This paper attempts to explain these textual references and identify any gaps that need to be addressed in the story.
