Hiralious

The close mindedness of Urdu literature today disappoints me. (If what's being added to it by the female writers who wrote for digests originally can be called literature ). There is no spark of innovation , no appreciation of different characters who think beyond the bounds unless it is a story about their 'beautiful transformation' into pious and nice human beings ( read muslims ). The leap of the writers imagination is within the confines of societal norms.
People are diverse and so are their habits , the point of art , if there is any point of art is to appreciate and reinforce the beauty of individual experience. There are as many ways to live as there are people. There is beauty in the subjectivity of it. And the line between good and bad cuts through our hearts in different ways. I dont know a person who was completely good or one who was entirely bad. But the writers today seem to lack the depth of mind that pushes a person beyond their ridiculous need to paint things in black and white according to their beliefs.   It is hard enough with people but it is totally unbecoming of writers to be so close minded that they open their hearts , and  use their pen to glorify only the characters that attest to some set of morals that they believe in.

Urdu writers today are moral preachers first and writers later . They are so close minded , without any exceptions that it's sickening.  Unfortunately , they still exercise their influence over the society because no one can deny the might of pen. Thus the women in our tv dramas are wrapped in their self pity , crying all the time in the hope of salvation and  eventually they end up winning hearts with their patience . Thus our common woman thinks that following her heart is a crime she wouldn't be forgiven for, a crime even fate would remember.That's what  Substandard literature does: Inspires fear and narrow mindedness in choices.
