Maybe this has been discussed numerous times before . Still , wanted to just bring my POV. I am not a regular watcher , but I like AsYa , and I started liking Zoya finally so I have a question. On Asad and the word tehezeeb.
Asad is shown as someone who is conservative and a little orthodox , which is common among muslim families . I find him dynamic as a character , cause at one hand he disapproves of action within girls like Zoya beating up guys when eve teasing is conducted , and wearing what they please , being disorganized and rebellious . And on the other hand , he is liberal enough to be proud of his single mother who has undoubtedly been through a lot and also love his step siblings more than anything in the world . However , he believes all these components within a woman according to his head , not heart , to not have "tehezeeb" , which i mentioned before . But what I want to ask is , what is tehezeeb? And how can one label a component of values and actions in culture to be made of tehezeeb , and anyone who does not conform to this vase of convenient components that scream the "tehezeeb" of women to be females who do not have grace , poise and manners? Is it ungraceful and devoid of any softened culture to the image of a woman in society to stay mum when she is harassed on the roads? Or wears whatever she pleases , as her clothes seem to apparently define her character . What kind of components shape our mind to judge anyone to have tehezeeb or not just cause of the way they conduct their life differently from ours? What makes us label? And what makes us think that our own values and ethics are a basis by which we can judge others cause they are different and label them devoid of tehezeeb? This is a question that arises in my mind in general when I see the show sometimes. So just wanted a healthy discussion about this , that what makes us label people who have tehezeeb and people who don't? Please share your views <3.
