I want to share in this thread how shit ARY DIGITAL is and how it airs shit dramas.
We have talked much about #MerePasTumHo , #Jhooti and others. I am writing this about another drama #MeraQusoor. I was watching an episode sitting with my mother today and it just broke my heart
so bad. Before writing about drama, let me tell you something else. Since the day I & my siblings started acknowledging the inherent misogyny and started noticing it in our father's behaviour, we call him out. Despite being a really good father and a husband too, he too posseses
many misogynist traits and sometimes, his behaviour with Ami is not right. We call him out on this misogyny and whenever he talks loud with Ami, we all take a stand and he has cut on his behaviour a lot. All three of us take our mother's side whenever we feel that
Abu has misbehaved because why not? It is our responsibility as their children to show disapproval for his rude behaviour.

ARY decided to air a drama #MeraQusoor and I will not talk how problematic the whole drama is, but let me share one scene which hit me so hard.
The scene started with kids raising their voices in front of their father for being abusive and toxic with the mother. Ab Aba jee kehty hain k ma tumhari maa ko talaaq dy rha hon and the mother begs him not to do this. Phr ik scene ata ha jahaan aba jee bary fakhar sy keh rhy
hoty hain k "Isko laga tha k mry bachon ko mry khilaaf kr k yeh kuch kr ly g. Sara guroor tor dia ha aj ma ny iska"
Like fuck you ARY. What message do you want to give? Ab baap fazool harkatein kary or aulaad drmean ma mat ay? Wo chahy BV ko maarta rhy but NO, bachy q Maa k lye
bolein. Wo bolein gy to Maa ko talaaq mil jay g and no women in Pakistan feels good about Talaaq. Jahaan toxic relationships ma reh lein gi but Talaaq, Astragfirullah. Us situation ma asa scene play k Haq k lye bolna bh jaan ka azaab dikhao or phr asy shohar sy
Talaaq ko bh musebat dikhao.

For a moment, it scared the shit out of me too. What if my interference in my parents' relationship results in something like that? This was the first thought that came to my mind and then it took a conscious effort for me to remind myself that
it is my responsibility to speak in front of my mother to my father when she can't. After all, at this age, we who claim to be woke and preacher of equality, we need to start it from our homes.
But our media has decided to discourage all such efforts. All problematic shit serials apart, this non-sense #MeraQusoor ik taraf.

Long thread but give it a read.

I never wanted to leave this country and fought my friends who used to convince me that its better to leave this country if u r a woman. But what happened today, I don't want to take another breathe here

I'm an activist, social worker, vlogger, student of law, biker, my parents don't put restrictions on me. Yet, it is difficult for me to travel in this country. I planned to travel Pakistan on my bike and it was my third bike trip today . . .

I & my friend were on our way. We were supposed to stop at a dhabba few miles away & continue our journey after that. We were stopped by a police van, they checked all our documents but us sey bh dil nahi bhara . . .

Alright. Apologies for not wording things in a correct way and thank you to a few who engaged meaningfuly. I used the wrong words while saying k Kaaliya is not racist. All I meant was saying kaaliya to Punjabis is not equal to racial oppression of Punjabi ethnicity.
2/n
And even if it is not racial oppression, it doesn't make it right. Using kaaliya for someone is derogatory and offensive for people of black race (I never said that it is right to use this term)
3/n
I was reacting to the replies of people underneath my tweet that how can you meet Ali Wazir, he called you Kaaliya. I don't endorse his views about the black race and using the word "kaaliya" to show his hatred against the people who they think are oppressing them

Hello! A very close friend of mine has been denied aid or a loan from LUMS for his final and last semester. He’s an Anth-Soc major. [1] Image
He’s been paying for his own tuition for a while by working several jobs and with assistance from lums, but since he could not get any help from the university this year and he lost his job due to covid earlier this year, he’s struggling to pay his final semester’s fees. [2]
He doesn’t want to delay his graduation any further since he’s already had to take some time off because of family and financial issues. It would mean the world to him if you could either help crowdfund his last semester [3]

[1] My organization has started a scholarship for female students and to pay a tribute to @Malala , we have added a question in the form to ask the applicants about Malala Yousafzai.
[2]Anti Malala thought was created in an organized way in Pakistan. We cannot eradicate it from the root but we will make sure that the students we interact with, they must know about our Nobel Laureate, @MalalaFund& her efforts for female education in Pakistan
[3] This scholarship is of significance because we will have monthly mandatory seminars with the scholarship holders. We will share the history of our female heroes and others who are neglected or portrayed negatively despite their great efforts.

Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University Larkana is forcing its students to sit in physical supplementary exams in the second week of August. There are some students from AJK & GB, it will take more than 24 hours for them to travel from their areas to Larkana.(1) Image
The university has already taken online supplementary exams of final professional MBBS, why not follow the same procedure for junior batches? And they are not even providing hostel/library. (2)
We request Sindh Education Minister and government to take online supplementary exams of SMBBMU students.
