منٹو اور "اردوادب" کا تیسرا شمارہ؟

Abstract

"Urdu Adab" journal was being published, after every two months, under the co-editorship of Saadat Hasan Manto and Hasan Askari. However only two numbers of it was being published, but due it's uniqueness, it successfully gained much significance among other contemporary renowned journals. According to available published content and resources on Manto, it is believed that this program was closed after issuing of these two numbers. But in this research article, this fact is going to reveal with the references of some unpublished letters of renowned literary personalities written to Manto that Manto had worked on compilation and editing of Urdu Adab's 3rd number. In this research article for the very first time it is going to discuss about the Urdu Adab journal's 3rd number and also about the record of Manto's seven months routine and efforts.
