A comedy clip from Alif Noon aired in 1980's, directed by Kamal Ahmed Rizvi.
Kamal Ahmed's literary skills in this series may never be matched by any comedy show in the new era of private channels and has made him in fact immortal.

Zulfi Bhutto had many faults but he did NOT cause the rise of fundamentalism in Pakistan. He was tormented by the 'Ahmadi' question and eventually succumbed to the pressures of the right wing in a cowardly way but he, despite all his fault, never envisioned Pakistan to be a country full of bearded fundos and a sea of burqahs. I should know these because I lived through his era and have many memories from that time--and some photos which I will try to post after keeping out personal info--I have lots of photos from before 1990.
Zia ul Haq was the sole cause for Pakistan's march backward. Zia really was deeply bigoted person and a big fan of the version of Islam as practiced in Saudi Arabia.
We must ask ourselves: Why do many Pakistanis still fondly remember Ayub Khan, ZAB, and even Musharraf but General Zia's name brings up anger? After all, by his death in 1988 Zia had ruled Pakistan for 25% of Pakistan's history.

Something tells me that the Ayub Khan era was the best for Pakistan in a cultural and social sense.

Bhutto and Zia totally ruined it.

These pics almost made me cry!

 

[Basel]

There were two eras in which Pakistan really progress forward in nearly all area first the best Ayub's second not as good as previous one but much better than other was Mush time.

 

[Established_1965]

OMG!! Pakistan looks like a paradise in 70's! Hi5 to Pakistan 70's

btw Pakistan doesn't look like so religious or conservative as compared to now! Something went badly wrong somewhere!!!

I thought to put in one of the pics taken by me waaay back in 1990 at Karachi University; you will notice Ms. Shehla Raza in orange clothes with long earrings in the foreground. As you may know, she is the vocal and active PPP Deputy Speaker of the current (and previous) Sindh Assembly. She and her family were tormented by damn Zia--that cruel he was for 11 years. . By 1990, Zia's Arab-influenced dress code was starting to take hold but most of the ladies used to have clothes like these even then.
I hope the OP doesn't mind my little insertion. If he does then my apologies and I will another thread some day.
