Faiz - A controversial interview

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

mere bhai, Faiz didn't ask his readers to follow him like prophet. he was an ordinary human being and he got respect of readers (including mine) as he was open to all views.

There is no need of any compulsion to disrespect writers, but there is also no reason why one should not present opposite views.

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

Yes, but what happened to your point that telling a fact is not hatred?
Actually both statements are negating each other... so just say your right and Faiz was wrong... or vice versa
I could never have asked you this way if you have not given a plain and sweeping statement like "there is no Urdu novel addressing rural areas issue" against "Urdu addressed other classes as well"
bol k lab azad hai tere!

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

I don't agree with Faiz sb as he didn't elaborate and he was not asked to elaborate the point. This doesn't give me right to call him wrong, but it doesn't confiscate my right as a reader to raise my concern based on my observations. I just didn't give a statement, I came up with examples. If any poster got examples to the contradictory, that would help change my perspective as I could be able to understand Faiz sb's statement.

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

being not agree means Faiz was wrong on that particular stance. anyway will get to that later...

your answer to following question will calrify you intentions
Do you think that as Urdu has it limitation of reaching the viewers of rural areas so the local languages also have its limitation of reaching other ethinicities and provinces?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

what do you mean by reaching?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

means you said, urdu litrature could not get more popularity among masses

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

I missed an important post… note the bolded bits :smiley:

’ Aj kala joda paa sadi farmesh te’ is that how the problems of rural areas are adressed through local language? :rotfl:

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

availability and popularity are two different things. One followed by the other. If you ask me specific to rural Sindh, most of the book stalls don't have stocks of Urdu books. So, availability is issue there. We all know that availability is affected by demand-supply game and this proves popularity. I myself had to ask my cousins to bring Urdu books from Karachi, when I was in my hometown.

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

see again you made excuses for sindhi against Urdu. But in Punjab you can see a lot of stalls of books in urdu but not a single stall of Sindhi books. Dont you think this is the disadvantage of publication in local language?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

I was just giving an example in lighter tone how simple language attract masses. Same goes true for Urdu / Hindi songs like ’ Munni Badnam hui’, etc. Otherwise, local languages are not barren to produce quality poetry.

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

which is the most published book in Punjab?

PS: Don't get allergic from the name of Sindh / Sindhi. mentioning popularity of a particular languages literature doesn't mean talking against the other language.

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

good...
Can you give me some example of revolutionary notion that has same depth as faiz's "bol k lab azad hain tere" and got popularity same as "aj kala jorra pa", by a sufi poet?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

have you not read rich Punjabi literature?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

No, I am not a qaum parast, I feel sory for the poor women of Sindh and women of Punjab equally. Thats what my religion teaches me.

in taza khudaon mein barra sab se watan hai....

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

I am asking you, tell me which revolutionary notion got popularity?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

I'll give you examples of local language poets who lead revolutionary movements, but first you tell me do you think Punjabi is a barren language, which could not produce affective literature. If yes, why? who is responsible for that? Isn't this widely spoken language got right to have literature for masses?

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

You must give me examples

Punjabi can produce rich litrature but I am asking you about what are the revolutioanry notions got popularity as you expect from Urdu...

So you dont think that it is a problem of local language publication that it could not get popularity among other provinces???

Re: Faiz - A controversial interview

Thanks muqa, I concede the point... my posts are removed so there is no point discussion for me...
Thank you all....
