A child who was abandoned by his own dad.
A child whose identity was taken away from him.
A child who was callously separated from his mother by the callous hands of his biological father, no matter what the reasons there are.
A child who had to fend for himself and fight for staying alive.
Some poor family takes him under their wings, and shelters him - Nazia and Rashid.
Nazia departs and the man responsible for her departure makes Sultan chose a path where he pronounced the judgement and became the jury in avenging the wrong that was done to his adopted mother, though he only knew her as his real mother.
His adopted dad too left him.
A homeless little boy, a juvenile delinquent, where does he go? Who does he seek? Who offers him solace? Orphaned and left in the cold, he had to chose to survive or die?
Of course, some favorites who hate him to the core, will want him dead, or would have wanted him dead right when he was young.
But, gladly for us and sadly, for those haters, Sultan, the child survived to become Sultan the man.
A man is not his occupation, his occupation may be that of a gangster.
But let's not condemn the man for being a human being, a man, let's not condemn him for choosing to survive with the only options available to him.
Everyone's life is not so darn rosy nor are they cossetted that they can all become superstars.
For some life is terrible, the betrayals, the pain, the losses turn some in directions that may be hard for people to understand, BUT WHAT ABOUT EMPATHY?
We don't know the reasons that he is a gangster now, nor do we know what those gangster activities involve. Just by mere labels, we condemn.
Is EMPATHY so selective that you all feel sorry for only one character that sheds copious tears while forget that there are other less fortunate ones who have also faced a lot of trials and tribulations. What makes us pour out our sympathy and outpouring of overwhelming empathy for the chosen ones while we demean and destroy those that are truly in need of our empathy?
Sultan - the person, the character needs your EMPATHY not your condemnation. Condemn his crimes if there are any, but don't condemn the man.
