ضروری نہیں ہے کے وہ سوچ سمجھ کے ایسا کر رہا ہو. رخ اسی طرف ہے جس طرف کی ہوا چلائی جا رہی ہے
To make it clear -- I personally have no issue with this drama and disagree with the criticism of OP but then I haven't watched it to make a fully valid and informed comment. (as I understood Qamar is more intended to loyalty and family; and whatever in the bits and snippets, at the end it will leave a bitter taste and disapproval for the infidelity etc.
My reply was about your line of criticism and its validity.
I have a simple criteria; Three subjects Arts/literature, science and religion ought not be criticized out of their respective subject and domains; That's always wrong and invalid; and is agenda-driven than for an genuine inquiry or knowledge.
Further only philosophy (with comprehensive relevant and critical knowledge) is entitled for meaningful criticism. Within these subjects criticism is good bur across them unacceptable. take some time and think about that.
That said fully understand what you wrote;
There is a power to imagery and aura to arts works like a drama or a film and more. Beyond the core subjects, there are many workers and each is to plug his own image and message - we see this often in media-led arts. Market and finance plays it role. Then there market and other interested or agenda. Then there is something called
zeigst of an era of arts and knowledge which override a writer and a artist. Then there is a whole school of criticism
which deems arts as an act of viewers, readers and consumers - not of the artists and artworks.
I assume we are well aware or this line of criticism on arts and in general of knowledge and all of us often criticize on these ground, be that from right or from left. But does such criticism or (many times) valid concerns rise to a level for censorship. (Age or immediate hurt of feeling or law n order might be only valid grounds for censorship.)
I'm of opinion that these subject matters - arts, science and religions are powerful enough to overcome and override other influences from the outside;
If the criticism from the outsiders - even like DR. Israr or any Tom and Harry or politicians and social scientists results in censorship then these subjects lose there vitality, there function and their essential character. Believe that this trust on these these knowledge while overlooking sensational and political concerns is beneficial for society both in the short-term and in the long run.
So well and good of the sermons of Dr. Israr and of your perhaps a valid point ( and there are much more similar (but with a sharper pinch) sermons from the left and liberal)
But no thanks. I'll rather like to take a bitter pill. Let humans play in these grounds freely.
