He's actually damaging the PPP, formerly known as Pakistan's People's Party, these Bhutto kids have no idea how quickly and easily they're morphing into better looking Sindhi Nationalists.
The PPP ideally would've benefitted alot if they had geneuinely tried to take a break to regroup itself. So much for these Zardari kids being young leaders of Pakistan, they cannot even relate to the diverse and urban population of Sindh.
The politics of any any publicity is good publicity won't help them in long run, even if it keeps them relevant in the media.
btw, can someone throw light on how this festival is reviving sindh cultural. women walking around like on ramp in pantene Couture week?
bakhtawar's singing in western style?
There are many things like Sufi nights, Book fair, shops of Sindhi artifacts, etc that do highlight rich culture of Sindh. People's participation in such activities can revive people's attachment of land. This should be followed in all provinces, with more stress on cultural aspects than encashing political interests.
I can’t understand the criticism about language used by Zardari’s children. They have been brought up outside Sindh and if they try to speak any of the languages of Pakistan, they should be appreciated. If they give speech in English or Bakhtawar is singing a song in English that is not a big issue. Sindh has been accommodating outside languages since long, be it Balochi or Urdu… English is not foreign to us as well. People can understand bits and pieces of it. I don’t know how Mr Jinah faced the situation, as he was not fluent in any of local languages.
Sindh is probably the most diverse, most multicultural, I would even add historically the most welcoming, region of South Asia, and that diversity is reflected in the scheduled events as well as the opening ceremony of the Sindh Festival too.
I watched online some of that opening ceremony toward the end and was quite mesmerized. So very beautiful.
Obviously there will be criticism, some of which so far that I've come across on twitter and social media is just opportunistic point scoring, but other constructive criticism can be heeded by the time Sindh Festival is organized next year. And hopefully it will become an annual festival that gets better with each passing year.
Needless to add, I would also be glad to see and applaud similar cultural festivals in other provinces too. People should be proud of their culture.
Overall, I think it is important to celebrate culture and heritage so I am quite pleased with Sindh Festival. History of Sindh didn't start in 8th century AD; it dates back to thousands of year, so if cultural festivals like this can draw some limelight to the Indus Valley civilization or otherwise make culture hip then all the more power to them!
wtf.. how is it that the excavation area of such an important civilization is not even fenced off by the government agencies? imagine someone holding a mela by putting tarpaulin on the giza pyramid. idiots of the ultimate order..
Much fuss was made on social media on the use of the Superman logo, the catchy promotional videos and other features of the festival, which were not strictly according to our ‘values’. A pop singer being kissed on the cheek was an image that invoked the ire of puritans. Even a well-known Sindhi leader questioned on Twitter as to how ‘prostitutes’ were torchbearers of Sindhi culture? This unfolding of our creeping bigotry was instructive as powerful ideas challenge and expose all that we consider normal in the land of the pure. Sindhi nationalists were also upset that there was little of ‘Sindh’ in the galas that the festival organised.
For instance, I attended the Basant on the beach bit of the festival where Punjabi singers performed. Basant itself is identified with Lahore and Punjab’s Vaisakhi festival so its remembrance as a symbol and marker of a once plural culture was important. Regional identities have always been fluid. Basant was also adopted by the Chishti Sufis in medieval times and not all of them were Punjabis. While the high society fashion shows and studio art invited the media glare, the more subaltern donkey cart races and craft trade invited large audiences. A multi-class and varied series of events, not particularly Sindhi all the time, defined what turned out to be two weeks of festivities.
