Re: Faiz - A controversial interview
before 1982? No my dear. No Urdu writer dared to do so till early 1980s. Till early 1980s, PTV was stuck in adaptations and translation from English. be it Qurbaten aur Faasle, teesra Kinara, Parchaiyan. serials like Shama, Shehzori talked of Urban women.
It was Noor ul Huda Shah and Abdul Qadir Junejo from Karachi TV, who came with serials like Jungle and Deewaren portraying rural Sindh’s problems, and these serials were earlier telecasted in Sindhi and then re-made in urdu.
