Clarification: A great friend reminds me that this show comes on AajTV which I do not subscribe to. So it may very well be AajTV show but somehow I saw it twice on PTV-Prime. I am also being told that PTV-prime is more ‘liberal’.
I have no idea what are you talking about ??
What kind of people ?
If you do not like some tv shows then dont watch it. Simple. There are dozen of pakistani channels and wide range of shows. Watch GEO ! there are dozens of talk shows which are dedicated to serious topics and social issues. Go and watch them all day long. Whats the problem ?
And frankly i do not know which ptv are takling about !
Dude you are quite messed up. Get your facts straight
Children learn from tons of other things let alone a meagre tv show, there are more obnoxious real life dangers for kids… so you better worry about these …Hint- hint
** HOMOSEXUALITY **
Collectively the form a distinct social group and characteristic, and despite your politically correct hush hush …your candid remarks about hijrras shows that you have very narrow minded view of these type of people, which is yet another dilema of our society that we look down upon people because of their natural disorders
And lastly, language is in my opinion least important issue at the priority ladder. Urdu is our national language and english is official language. Both are equally important for us and I think there should be no fuss about it
You know very well what is being discussed and what kind of people are in focus. Either you are tring to run away from answering or need clarification in every paragraph what is being discussed. OK for your clarification, we are discussing “heejrays” and their flood on TV shows. (Surprise! )
Well, if thats the lame answer you can come up then its OK.
Its like, someone gives you bad Icecream which you bought and if you complained about it or pointed it out, the person says “you should have bought the icecream from someone else. There are plenty of other shops…you should have gone there! Did I beg you to buy it from me?”
How would you like that attitude??
The point is that media needs to be reminded of what the impact of irresponsible and out of norm presentation can be…not only on short term but on long term.
I think I clarified it above.
So we can accept them talking or acting like heejras so we can feel ‘OPEN MINDED’ Right?
One bad thing does not make other bad act acceptable even if it is less bad.
Off course what I am getting from your posts that you don’t mind spending time listening to heejras since you want to be called "open minded’ or I am not sure if there is some “hidden reason” why you would be so
supportive about their ‘proliferation’ on media!
I already mentioned my respect for them as human being. Apart from that, no hush hush and no political correctness from my side.
In fact I am being honest and open and you are not coming out of closet and saying the reason why would you want heejras on TV despite knowing that its not generally acceptable to talk and act like that for the sake of cultural integrity.
I am prefectly OK if a man or woman from physically handicapped or even
socially deprived background comes on TV as a host and who has talent as
being the host of a show.
I would accept any normal behaving person from any corner of the society or from any religious background, black, white, brown or yellow etc.
To be honest I could not decide for a while if this was a funny show or a serious show and since I was not familiar with this person so my friend an I kept going back and forth trying to decide if this is a man or a woman.
Imagine what a young person would feel watching this idiotic show.
I guess you want people to accept someday ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’ being indistinguishible…as long as you get the medal of being ‘open minded’
When did I mention fuss over what you wrote?
I said ‘unnecessary use of English’ and by all means daily life conversation in English on Pakistani TV is unnecessary. Hope you get the point.
In general: Mimicking developed country people does not make anyone developed!
Sorry I do not know any show on PTV or any other desi channel being hosted by hijra
Please tell me the name of that show
If you are talking about begum nawazish ali (Ali Saleem ) then I dont think he is a hijra , he is a man who act and dress like woman (transexual). You have problem with that than more power to you. You are entitled to :k:
If people think it as sub-standard show (which it is NOT ) then they would stop watching it. The fact that most of the top notch celebrities and Top polititians come to the show, it is evident that they regard it highly
Hijra (hermephrodites ) live among us in pakistan. And sadly most jahil people tend to look down upon them mock them, because of their natural disorder. but at the same time respectable and educated people do not harbour that hate. they treat them with respect becuse they are Allah’s creature. They are just like handicaped people but they are treated very badly by some people.
We do not have problem with them at all. You hue and cry is just a waste of time. They do not pose any threat to society.
I do not see any point in rest of your gibberish :halo:
and your point of view is Based on ?? ( name few programes )
Here are few very popular weekly shows of PTV
Please give me your review on the quality of language in the follwoing shows :
Khiraaj-e-Tehseen hosted by Anwar Maqsood Bazm-e-Tariq Aziz
**Subh-u-Bakhair with Touseeq Haider **
Seriously speaking I am now convinced that one has to remind you EVERY PARAGRAPH what we are talking about.
IF???
My dear thats the only show I thought we were discussing until you had memeory lapse.
Besides I am not capable of distinguishing between a Heejra and a cross dresser and hope that you can’t either, from watching TV.
Now that you say that this person is a cross dresser so your whole argument about someone BORN such a way is down the drain!
Don’t ask people to ‘understand’ the silly choices people make!
BTW: Cross dresser by any means including psychology, is considered a **A STATE OF DISEASE OF THE MIND. **
[Could you post your photo in a Sari and a Blouse and ask people to be open minded!? And if not… then why not?..How about if we say Its OK..do it..we are OPEN MINDED! ]
What I meant is that NORMAL people do not cross dress! (Period)

[quote=Code_Red]
Well, I say it is substandard merely beacause it brings mentally sick people as the role model.
Perhaps its OK for few people to feel happy about this funny and silly habit but I am pretty sure it does not represent Pakistani people who are very happy to wear APPROPRIATE clothings.
…Did you get anything from Icecream example?

The fact that most of the top notch celebrities and Top polititians come to the show, it is evident that they regard it highly

I am sure these people like everywhere are paid for their presence. But I can be wrong. Even if these people are not paid..just being on TV is good enough incentive for most.
Top Notch celebrities and politicians love to be on ANY show. That’s not how a show is rated unfortunately.
This person is not a hijra (hermaphrodite) according to you then why you keep going in that direction?
This person acording to you is a cross dresser..(Assuming you know what you are talking about)
So why anyone feel sorry for this person???
I have no problems with them at all Sir. They do not represent Pakistan and thats all.
Do you watch Dramas with conversation in half urdu and half english or not?
Do you watch ANY TV programs with title in english or not? If not then its OK.
