Re: Pretty little messages from india
How do you know he likes to watch those movies..people have moved on from partition/war related movies. Maybe he likes to watch Namaste London, Jhootha hi sahi, Dhan dhana dhan goal or Veer Zaara which have Pakistani characters and shows Indians-Pakistanis getting along abroad.
Maybe he likes to watch Pakistani dramas like Shankht instead of Bollywood movies even when they have scenes showing people don’t want to be neighbours with Indians abroad. I like Shanakht. I also like dastaan because i know it’s written in partition times and there will be biases. Actually i don’t know any Pakistani drama which had a positive Indian reference. Maybe there are some i am unaware of but i still like Pakistani dramas and prefer them to Indian ones.
Does that make me a self hating Indian?
I recommend you to watch Shanakht. I think you will like Qurat-ul-Ain’s character.
You might think that Indians don’t get your views but Southie Uncle always does. Remember when you wrote that thread about having multiple wives and there was this Indian girl called Delhi2LahoreKarachi who understood your views when others didn’t. Personally, i think you should choose a Pakistani female like Qurat-ul-Ain of which there are many. For that reason you should watch Shanakht.
It’s a great drama. I was not being serious about the multiple wives. It’s not something that should be decided on dramas.
