[Reader-list] pk - kitna badal gya insaan / geo tv

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Yasir
 
Have seen it. Yet another excellent 'touching commentary' from GEO.
 
I expressed my opinion just a few days back that Indian Media needs to do some learning from the one in Pakistan. My recognitions being limited to English Press and TV (News) channels from Pakistan.
 
"Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan" takes forward the impressive courage and forthrightness shown by GEO during the worst of the Musharraf years. There have been delightful parodies through song/qawwali or "Hum Sabb Umeed Se Hain".
 
The quality of programming on GEO  is impressive and it is a favourite of mine. The only sour note (for me) comes from Aamir Liaquat  when he goes ballistic on topics that have very little to do with promoting Islam or bridging the sectarian divides amongst Muslims.
 
Kshmendra

The malaise in Pakistan on Independence Day (14th Aug)
as reflected in popular channel's song.

Its sensational of course. the channel, GeoTV is the biggest media group.
the lines lament the loss of the country of the "fathers" / heroes (the
pictures),
saying how much people have changed, for the worse....
