Chastising certain aspects is both warranted and necessary, imo to balance out chest thumping and overly optimistic, or rather foolhardy rhetoric.
As for the equivalence, I made no moral equivalence between us here and Modi’s semi-fascistic government. I didn’t elaborate on what I was saying, but I thought it’d be obvious that I was comparing the strategic outcomes of the two extremes here. I was also just saying that I’m glad that the less informed among us are not in the driving seat in Pakistan. Otherwise we’d be making suffering the repercussions as India is. And make no mistake, Modi’s ‘ghus ke marenge’ rhetoric, and our capturing Ladakh rhetoric are both fuelled by the same hubris, and are both varying degrees of disastrous ideas.
Now that you explain it, you comments seem much more sensible.
Just remember that Indians have an agenda to divide Pakistanis against each other. They will jump up and down like monkeys. They don't realize that Pakistanis have diverse opinions and views, and at the end of the day, we are all united for the best for our country.
You should see Joe and others struggle when Turks, Iranians, Afghans, Arabs, Chinese, and BDs take the side of Pakistanis on these forums. It is quite entertaining
Good advice, but Pak TV is abysmal, sorry it is unwatchable - news, dramas, even sports, the long winded adverts, the low quality productions, the poor sound quality, the uneducated/untrained reporters, the dramas that have no action, producers and directors forget that TV is an action medium not a photograph, just slow talking. Ertugrul Urdu is not bad though I hate dubbed movies/dramas, but can watch but too many episodes, sorry I am moaning too much apologies.
I grew up listening to lectures of Dr. Israr Ahmad. It improved my Urdu greatly, and parents didn't allow us to speak English in the home. It was only Urdu and Punjabi. Ofcourse PTV dramas were always on in the background as well.
If you hate modern Pakistani dramas, you can find some more Islamic or Fauji dramas.
These days I watch Orya Maqbool Jan and Dr. Shahid Masood mainly for news.
If you know Arabic, Urdu is a much easier language to learn to read and write.
I am sure you have many resources in the UK.
Ertugrul Urdu is not bad though I hate dubbed movies/dramas, but can watch but too many episodes, sorry I am moaning too much apologies.
Ertugrul is a historical epic in cinema/media in the vein of 10 commandments, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, Ar Risalah (The Message,) and Omar Al Mokhtar: Asad us Sahara (Lion of the Desert.)
It is a monumental achievement for Islamic and Turkish media particularly. Every person should watch it. Even if people don't ascribe to the Islamic ideology of its producers, it ahould be appreciated for its artistic endeavor at least.
The Urdu dub of Ertugrul is especially good. It is accurate to the Turkish (with many of the same words/concepts) and gives much respect to the Urdu of Pakistan. It is riddled with Sufi imagery unique to Pakistani and Turkish culture. The language used is a very elevated form of Urdu which would be difficult for Non-Pakistanis to understand.
What lie?
Maybe in 1965 war yes but is that a lie that from day 1 of Pakistan's independence Nehru dreamed of Pakistan collapse. Is that a lie?
That crooked eyed bitch Indra Ghandi was helping mukti bahnie movement before 1971. Is that a lie.
Lie is what you live thinking that a Hindu Brahman will tolerate you if you exist peacefully with them. Its impossible and you know no better than Muhammad ali Jinnah. He saw Hindu leaders and took a decision for independent country.
Is that a lie that it was Jinnah who ordered Pak Army to march into Kashmir and General Gracy disobeyed the COMMAND. IS THAT A LIE?
1965, 71, Kargil and many more are consequences and will happen until Kashmir is resolved. Your resolve have given up along with your age. Don't take that right away from present youth with your demoralizing statements and half history. Regards
Great post. We Pakistanis will keep on the offensive until Kashmir is freed.
Indians are living in a dream if they believe either Pakistan or China will back down. Now we are galvanized, expect more humiliations for Indians.
