Bahut gehra sawaal hai! Premchand aur Manto ko saamne rakhkar hum darasal insaan ke do sach dekhte hain — insaan kaisa ho sakta hai, aur paristhitiyon mein aksar kaisa ban jaata hai.
Premchand ka yakeen tha ki gareebi, anyay aur dukh ke beech bhi insaaniyat ki lau jal sakti hai. Manto humein yaad dilate hain ki jab apne hit, dar aur nafrat saamne aate hain, tab us lau ko jalaye rakhna aasaan nahi hota.
Meri nazar mein, dono apni-apni jagah sahi hain.
Premchand humein insaaniyat par vishwas karna sikhate hain; Manto us vishwas ki keemat samajhna.
Achhai tabhi sachchi pariksha se guzarti hai jab use nibhaane mein kuch khona pade. Lekin iska matlab yeh bhi nahi ki har achhe kaam ke liye koi badi qurbani zaroori hai. Kabhi kisi ki madad karna, sach bolna, kisi kamzor ka saath dena ya nafrat ka jawaab nafrat se na dena bhi insaaniyat ko zinda rakhta hai.
Aur shayad in dono ke beech ek teesra sawaal bhi hai:

Jab achhai ki keemat chukani pade, tab kya hum use chhod denge, ya uski keemat chukane ka saahas jutaayenge?
Premchand humein umeed dete hain. Manto humein aaina dikhate hain. Aur faisla humein karna hai.
Kyunki insaaniyat ki asli kahani kitaabon mein nahi, un chhote-chhote faislon mein likhi jaati hai jo hum tab karte hain jab koi humein dekh nahi raha hota.
