Re: Vulgarity in Dramas
Well, what I noticed when I visited Pakistan is that the super super super high, upper class and parts of the lower class seem to confuse being "modern" with being vulgar. If you wanna be "modern" then give women the respect they deserve in the workforce, allow her to go outside in public without being hounded by men, get a higher education and do something for the country. Drinking alcohol, engaging in adultery/fornication, and other behuda harkaathain aren't gonna help you win the respect of the "western" world and these things aren't gonna help make Pakistan more "modern" either. And the decay of the movie/tv industry in Pakistan is a sign that vulgarity does not equate to being successful. Sure, sex sells, but for who? I sure as hell don't enjoy watching stuff like that. If it comes to choosing between one of the ridiculously "indian-fied" dramas on today and watching an old classic like "zaib un nisa" I'd choose the latter. At least there's a story line.
