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.
you're right . there are a lot of jahil pakistani who think by blindly imitating the west they would become like them but actualy they're only following their bad points which won't lead them anywhere. if we want to become successful then we don't need to follow the west. we just need to follow our religion because whatever ethics and morals the west has learnt are all borrowed from islam. punctuality, honesty, sincerety, hard work et all they're all taught by our religion.
whereas our tv channels are concerned, they're in a sorry state. totally unrealistic storylines.they have no pakistaniat . no creativity.it seems some unimaginative corrupt mind has written or directed them. I feel embarrassed to even sit and watch them. There should be strict guidelines laid down for these present crop of tv channels just like PTV used to have. Otherwise, considering how frivolous these people are , they would corrupt our society.thats what they're doing now. I mean not everybody is sensible enough to differentiate between good and bad. there are loads of confused people who might get influenced by them. can't believe how irresponsible our tv channels are .no conscience whatsoever.
