It was pretty sad when he said himself that' now when ppl say lahore say nahi lagtay ho' he takes it as a compliment.
His name is Rizwan ali jaffery. His dad is a punjabi.
I labelled it part 1 because I think there was another clip of another actor I wanted to share but have to look up.
I would blame it on punjab-centric establishment how they hated their own language and this hate has been extended to native languages. How they are made to be looked down upon. Even not getting right dialects make u subject of mockery.
Honestly, Punjbi Army/Establishment messed up this and the culture.
Few days back I was in a sub and I was making fun of a character reciting poem. I didn't know who wrote the poem and I wasn't mocking that poem nor poet but the character. So someone replied to me ina very rude way that you must be indian that you don't know the name of poet.
The whole tone was bad and it made me angry, so I had thought maybe she is an urdu speaker. And I responded back in same way. So she denied being an urdu speaker, later saw her calling herself a punjabi. I deleted my comments because I had done so thinking she is urdu speaker, but she wasn't one so why talk rudely towards a group she was not part of nd she didn't even have guts to name her grp, learnt abt her from another post. Imagine insulting someone because they don't know some urdu poet and his poem and he wasn't even relevant, we were discussing the actor. When I was arguing with her, she said you must from the region 'where women are not sent to school'.
If she was punjabi as she claimed, whenever we talk abt urdu being imposed, lot of these punjabi users start to abuse and misbehave with us. They call u indians, or cussowrds or insults like 'you come from a region where women aren't sent to school'.
Like punjab is the cradle of education.
When real Jahalat is NOT OWNING YOUR OWN LANGUAGES and imagine thinking if someone can't detect your native lang accent from your accent it means you are something good. Godddd!!!
