Dear Urdu writers.

The sexually liberated , independent and a tad bit crazy girl that you talk about , isn't exalted to the status of a ' mystery '  but instead she becomes so many other things I can not mention here. Seemi (Raja gidh)  in real life is that girl everyone hates for her guts, and according to them, she deserves what she got in life ( she deserved her end as well)  , not to forget her insolence towards her mother , she is the least likeable character I wonder how these people have spent so much time on. The girls who read Russian literature and smoke cigars , and climb into the balconies of strange men are not enticing riddles , they are ...One word. And that is enough.
    What's more in line with how women are is the soppy , emotional girl waiting by the door her husband has slammed shut on her face , the one who does her best to win hearts through her patience after a forced marriage , the one who Is dedicated to household chores and doesn't blink when her husband orders her around , this is more In line with the reality! This is what the writers today are producing. They are smarter than you.

A boy rapes the maid who was sleeping in the corridor because ' wo wahan pe leti kisi jaltay bhujtay diyay ki tarhan usko dawat de rahi thi '. And yes that boy was the hero. Who had forced relationship with his wife as well. And hid the illegitimate child he had. And in the same story , the other hero was a guy who kidnapped a girl and then she had to stay there because wo he uska ghar hai. - from the acclaimed book Ay tair e lahooti 
All these plotlines have been made into incredibly successful, most viewed dramas on humtv.
This is the reality !

So Urdu literature of the past. I find you entirely bizarre. Because you speak of the specie that does not exist. A woman who is not product of the interactions she has had and expectations that have been set , developed between the brackets of religion and societal customs. I find you entirely, dishearteningly bizarre. And when I read Urdu literature I feel as if I am reading something that I am meant to take as a very exotic experience and that in fact has no bearing in reality.  It feels foreign, ...It pains me to say because i love urdu and the expression is beautiful but I find it......... pretentious. And I wish to heaven that I didn't.
