Honorable Jamil Ahmed, an internationally acclaimed environmentalist, is the one who keeps an eye on such sensitive issues and share them with a humble soul that I am to help the society identify and rectify them.
He writes “A quick look at these film ads in today’s daily Aaj shall raise alarm. These brazenly depict violence in a society which is a suffering from many forms of violence for a long time. This need to stop . We need to promote art and culture not violence. What kind of a society are we leaving behind. Please use your powerful pen to highlight this . Thanks”.
Brain is a sensitive human organ that runs the entire body and hence protected by the strong skull. The eye sockets provides the brain the window to see and acts, accordingly.
Ironically, our window is long opened into the courtyard of violence, as depicted in these cinema billboards advertised in our newspapers on daily basis l, ike comics once were published for the entertainment of children but with a message.
To promote culture of violence as opposed to art, music culture and history is what pushes our civilisation into the dark abbeys with closed end with no escape in sight.
It is these films and the culture of violence they promote that leaves a lasting impression on the vulnerable minds of their audience that in return promote violence as promoted by them in most of their stories.
It amuses me whenever our politicians who become victims of violence and hate crime on the streets cry foul without ever sparing a moment to look around and see what is being promoted as virtue in the society can never be later condemned as evil.
I believe the supposedly wise Ahsan Iqbal, the PML N stalwart recently heckled as ” Robber” at the Mcdonald on the motorway is the right one amongst our intellectual paupers of the society to help stop this intellectual robbery that is taking the nation to moral bankruptcy faster then we think and it is these tools that promote them in the society and must be plugged the earliest the better.
It is time we draw the window on violence if peace is what we desire as a society, nation and country. Thank you Esquire Jamil Ahmed, for considering an unworthy soul that I am for a worthy cause.
