Celebrities from Pakistan are increasingly speaking out about societal concerns. Mishi Khan’s recent comments about the problem of obscenity. The nation’s unethical practices sparked a crucial conversation. Her remarks demonstrate the wide range of people who are concerned about the direction society is heading. This is one viewpoint that we ought to consider.
According to Mishi Khan, various social trends and modern media are destroying Pakistan’s traditional values. She claims that some of the information on social media and television promotes indecency. Many Pakistanis find great resonance in this argument. They observe a growing gap between traditional cultural standards and those depicted in the media. This has nothing to do with entertainment. It has to do with maintaining one’s morals and sense of self.
Concerns have been raised regarding how this will affect the next generation. The issues that they consider to be outside of their culture are becoming more prevalent. This causes them to feel the need to defend what they believe to be the essence of Pakistani society.
According to this line of thought, society must fight back these changes. It promotes traditional values and moral values back to the conservative side.
According to some people, personal opinions of a person should not be imposed on other people by influencers. What one person may not consider right another person may believe to be a normal aspect of a progressive society.
AJ&K and Pakistan Partner for a Greener Future
Such an opinion also highlights the hypocrisy of certain criticism. Some people and the press condemn indecent content and at the same time they enjoy the material. They are of the opinion that more attention should be given to real issues such as poverty, injustice and lack of education. Their feeling is that morality and indecency are issues that should be given second place to these more pressing concerns. This is one of the counterarguments that we should see to take a whole picture.
The Path Forward
The controversy that began with Mishi Khan brings out a basic conflict in Pakistani society. The clash is between the traditionalists and the modernists. Dialogue is necessary to proceed. We cannot just refuse either of them.
This is a gap that we need to close with a discussion. This implies that the media should be more responsible for what they are airing. It also involves representatives of society taking their opportunities to advance positive changes and not only criticize. It is only in this way that the Pakistani society will be able to balance between tradition and progress to determine the future of the society.
