मण्टो की अधिकांश कहानियों की प्रेरणा या उत्स, उसका यह एहसास है- अत्यन्त प्रामाणिक और सच्चा एहसास - कि इस सारे निज़ाम में कहीं कुछ बहुत ग़लत है- आधारभूत रूप से ग़लत और नाकाबिले बरदाश्त । वह अपनी सारी शक्ति के साथ दर्द और दुख और तकलीफ़ के सही मुकाम पर उँगली रखता है- कि यही उसके निकट, लेखन का उद्देश्य है। मण्टो की यह भावना एक गहरे नैतिक उत्तरदायित्व के एहसास से उपजती है। एक ऐसी व्यवस्था में रहते हुए, जो लगातार मानवीयता को कुचलती है, मण्टो निजी तौर पर, अपने समाज और अपने साथियों के प्रति खुद को उत्तरदायी समझता है और तकलीफ़ के सही मुकाम पर उँगली रखना, उसके नज़दीक, उसके मानवीय फ़र्ज़ की अदायगी है। इसीलिए वह बार-बार उन आधारभूत मसलों की तरफ़ मुड़ता है, जो सहज जिन्दगी के रास्ते में रुकावट बन कर खड़े हैं-राजनीति, साम्प्रदायिकता, झूठ, फ़रेब, स्वार्थ, भ्रष्टाचार, सरमायेदारी, शोषण ।अपने इसी नैतिक उत्तरदायित्व को महसूस करके, मण्टो हर तरह की साम्प्रदायिकता और फ़िरकेवाराना प्रवृत्ति से ऊपर उठकर उस 'गलती' पर पूरे ज़ोर से आघात करता है, इसीलिए वह तथाकथित 'प्रगतिशील' लेखकों की जमात से कहीं ज़्यादा प्रगतिशील है। चूँकि वह किसी राजनीतिक दल या धार्मिक सम्प्रदाय से जुड़ा हुआ नहीं है इसीलिए वह चीजों को किसी पर्दे को आड़ से नहीं देखता और अपने अनुभवों तथा अपनी अनुभूतियों को सच के तीखेपन से खुली अभिव्यक्ति देता है। उसे यह डर नहीं है कि कल अगर मौजूदा समीकरण में कोई फेर-बदल हो तो उसे अपना बयान बदलने की ज़रूरत पड़ सकती है।

मण्टो पर बातें करते हुए अचानक देवेन्द्र सत्यार्थी की याद आ जाती है । मण्टो का मूल्यांकन करना हो तो मण्टो और मण्टो पर लिखे गये, दुनियाभर के लेख एक तरफ मगर सत्यार्थी मण्टो पर जो दो सतरें लिख गये, उसकी नज़ीर मिलनी मुश्किल है। ‘मण्टो मरने के बाद खुदा के दरबार में पहुँचा तो बोला, तुमने मुझे क्या दिया... बयालिस साल । कुछ महीने, कुछ दिन । मैंने तो सौगन्धी को सदियाँ दी हैं।' 'सौगन्धी' मण्टो की मशहूर कहानी है। लेकिन एक सौगन्धी ही क्या मण्टो की कहानियाँ पढ़िये तो जैसे हर कहानी 'सौगन्धी' और उससे आगे की कहानी लगती है।
