Are we really that bad?! It seems like we criticise everything about the desi culture and desi people.
The focus of this thread is how desis treat their parents. In most other societies, children as young as 16 years of age demand their parents stay out of their lives. Should we not be proud of the fact that we desis actually care about what our parents have to say and how close we are to our parents? Sure, even the Quran tells us to stand up for ourselves, for what’s right, when our parents are wrong. But why must we criticise people to whom their parents’ approval matters a lot? If a man decides to live with his parents to take care of them, if a woman decides to happily accept to marry the man her parents have chosen for her, if a couple decides to have a baby because their parents really really want a grandchild, why is that not good enough considering these people are willing to do things for others because they care about them?
How about discussing something good about our people in this thread?
This thread isn’t criticising the moaners but asking them to speak good about desi people for a change. You should be proud of me, queerio ain’t you brown?!
Well theres criticism… and then theres a targeted smear campaign… and a lot of it is the latter…
Often I too criticise but I do also point out reasons and ways of perhaps correcting the faults too… but a lot of the so called one way traffic is just blatant mudslinging which is not exactly helping anyone.
For crying out loud folks take some pride in yourselves too sometimes…
Critics were always there and they will be always here, if we do everything to please everyone pretty soon we will be in this infinite cycle of efforts, getting nowhere. I think the best way to live is to Clean our-self first then be as crazy and abstract and eccentric as we want, let it go. Let go of the suffocating sanity, political correctness, cookie-cutter imagination. What is with all this conventionalism, it's so plain and monotonous.
We dont have to be prim and proper like a processed cheese square, every slice is same shape, same color, same smell. I'd rather be unpasteurized, natural cheese, strong aroma, no particular shape, and the taste that shakes the senses.
But first we have to clean our heart, so we are absolutely sure that all this Sankiness is not good for nothing, it has a higher purpose.
You know Pathanay khan never thought ... hey may be I should just ditch Saraiki, and sing in English or proper Urdu, It will appeal more people.
The Art of living has no life if its not real, the art of living has to come from within, the true nature of self has to blossom. Criticism se Bay Neyaaz ho jao !
…if ‘our people’ = ‘desi people’…you not gonna get much
Let me tell you what these things mean by our ‘conventional wisdom of GS’...
Mama’s boy…
Paindu, Jaahil, Opressed…
They haven’t grown up really…looking for parents approval even after marriage?? ‘Immature couple’'…which means the couple is ‘trapped’ in ‘desi paindu mentaliy’..
Jaahil people…still worried about ‘Log kya kahain gay’…
I absolutely agree with the OP. We have become so negative because all we do is pick on the negatives of our people. That’s all we see.
We don’t see what a blessing it is to not be kicked out of the house after you turn 18 and to stay with your parents and repay them for their kindness and attention we have received all our lives.
We don’t see how its so good to not take an appointment to have dinner with our family every night.
We don’t see how we are brought up to give so much respect to our parents and elders.
We don’t see how our mothers hold us above everything else (their careers, social life, even sometimes their own well-being) to make sure her child is happy and getting only the best.
How people just can’t mind their own business when they see an accident or a person having trouble with their car on the road. These smelly stinky illiterate jahil people who would push your car when it breaks down in the middle of the road w/t feeling ashamed or embarrassed or even expecting anything in return.
I love my country
ain’t you brown?!
