Appear in: Demons of the Punjab.

Set during the Partition of India, Manish was a Hindu nationalist who was vehemently opposed to his brother Prem marrying a Muslim woman - Yaz's future Nani Umbreen. Manish went to violent lengths to try to stop the union by murdering the village's local holy man Bhakti, who was meant to bless their marriage.

Sadly, further tragedy struck when Manish led a group of thugs on horseback to forcibly take Umbreen and her mother's home and land, only for Prem to stay behind to confront his brother and buy her and the others time to escape, which led to his untimely death.
