I don’t think Pakistani society has regressed as much over the decades as these dramas show. That’s what pisses me off the most about them. That they are lies and self orientalization and the worst kind of representation of Pakistan to the outside world.
There is no representation of ‘normal’ women: women who work, have brains, ambitions, a sense of humour, have fun and whose personalities can’t be reduced to good/bad, religious/irreligious boundaries. Women who can think about things outside of a man or marriage.
Quand Mamdani a été élu (j'habite au Canada) un randonm qui me suit sur instagram (j'habite au Canada) m'a envoyé 5 longues tirades racistes pour me dire que New York (j'habite au Canada), allait devenir Bagdad (j'habite au Canada)
And then people say casteism is a hindu thing lol but there is literally a tabka in Pakistan that consider killing people halal and marrying outside cast haram
And the number of women who lose their lives bcz of this jahiliat every year…..
