Asma,
Just because slapping aka physical violence seems ok to a majority and is justifiable under certain circumstances, doesn't make it right.
By that logic, khap panchayats could say in the circumstances that a girl and boy from the same gotra marry, we can take action against them.
Years ago, sati was an acceptable practice to many. But that didn't make it right. Yes, I am preaching but the point I'm trying to make here is that a majority justifying something does not make it right.
Coming to the second para highlighted,the logic of "spare the rod, spoil the child" no longer works in today's situation. Increasingly our attitudes to parenting need to change.
That part highlighted bold is just one of the many reasons why Indian kids in Norway or elsewhere are taken from their parents and sent to child protection services. Physical violence begets violence. Why teach our kids wrong?
You don't have to agree with what we believe... That's fine. That's your view. But try to understand why a person is saying what they say. We totally get what you're saying. Heck, that's what mainstream society thinks. But just cos a few think differently, that doesn't make it wrong.
To add, even Rashid's venting his frustration by choking Razia... Doesn't work for me. Physical violence...
Whether its dadi being arm twisted by Razia, Rashid choking Razia, Asad slapping Zoya, Dilshad slapping Asad.. Asad pointing the gun at his father... I condemn it all.
Only dysfunctional families need violence or physical manifestations of anger to vent IMHO.
I know Rashid is estranged from Dilshad and family.
But Rashid and Razia's families are one unit today and Dilshad and her kids are another. So sorry, doesn't cut it for me.
I totally understand the issues related to violence or whatever in the show Adeeti.I get it from where it coming for sure.
You see different people have different psychologies.
A slap may not be justifiable under any circumstances to millions of people but it may appear right for a few people as well.
OK I get it that right from Asad slapping Zoe,Rashid holding Razia's neck and a son shooting is father is too much VIOLENCE in your eyes.
Emmm after watching FSFFE Indian tv soaps and movies,I think I've begun to not take things so seriously especially in fiction shows.
Murders and hundreds of crimes are shown in movies and daily/reality soaps and if I start screaming that everything that is presented is VIOLENCE and should be prevented from shown onscreen then I'm targeting at the fundamental rights of the show makers for sure. 😆
You have full right to condemn what is not acceptable in show,so please carry on darling.
I'm also not much happy with Dilshad today...Infact she disappointed me too.But then when I sit down and look at the complete picture that led to this slap,I think I can connect with her emotional turmoil a bit and feel that the slap was 50% justified.
I wished she had first understood the whole matter before raising her hand infront of a guest in the house.
And yes Qubool Hai is an INDIAN show and not a foreign drama where logic and practical aspects are given more attention than what is done in India.
Emm let's not talk about the practices prevalent in foreign countries.
If children are send to some places in order to protect them from child abuses ,parents are left alone too in their old ages and send to old age homes,etc and children leave their parents in such a age where the parents really need them.(This practice has slowly crept in India as well and I don't intend to offend anyone who is not an Indian.I was simply citing an example here).
So all what is practiced in foreign dramas and real life can't be the same for a country like India which is known for its vast traditions and culture.
Adeeti I don't understand why so much of groupism is happening here on a mere issue of the show.Why are u addressing yourself as WE?Can I please know exactly all the people that belong to this WE?
I'm really upset with the fact that people are fighting here over few particular scenes in the show.Gosh!! Why do we forget that IF is public forum and all of us have the right to share our opinions,no matter whether others agree/disagree to it.
We really need to respect each others opinions.I'm so sad that once again there will be two sides on this issue and the controversies shall re-begin.
I
completely understand your point of view and I believe that you do the same for my views too.I
had no intentions to offend you or anyone by replying here in this thread.
Dilshad must have failed as a mother to many people but I have not lost hope on her yet.
The last thing
I would like to say is that NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS RIGHT.IT'S ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION.Thanks a lot for replying to my post in such a wonderful manner.I could really get a better view as to what disturbs so many people regarding the harsh scenes in the show by your post.
Please keep replying to me and sharing your views like this sweety.
Take care!

Yeah, life imitates art and vice versa. So while I hate censorship, the fact that regulatory bodies like IBF and CBFC believe that if creative people aren't self regulating, then they must issue advisories, suggests that this is a big debate for which no one has found a real answer 😊
It's an Indian show, I agree... But when I look at some Pakistani dramas, I wish we could take a leaf out of their notes, when it comes to portraying drama. And here I'm talking about South Asia, not the west.
Regarding your corollary about children and parents wrt to child abuse, and its after effects, I don't think the two are related. In extreme cases where children are brought up in a hostile environment, it affects them emotionally. And in India, we don't have a mechanism to protect the rights of that child. Maybe the western thinking is way different, but we need some level of awareness if child rights here.
I don't think that children leaving their parents has anything to do with how much or less they love their parents. Often children move to cities or even move countries on work and parents either prefer to live in their hometown or in India simply because they like the quality of life they have here. So traditions are changing here as well. And it's not for the worse.
Groupism... It's happening because people who are in the minority are being ridiculed, censored and pushed out. There are numerous posts making fun of our views while if we say something against someone who riled us, or even criticise the show, it's reported and threads are closed.
The forum reflects social behaviour... Take a majority that tries to shut a minority opinion, and people who never before knew each other and feel marginalised, will join hands and speak up. That's what you see... It's not something we created... It's something that's happened as a consequence of the vibes on this forum. It was dormant prior to the slap episode... But it's more pronounced now.
That said, I'm not in anyone group. It's not us versus them for me. 😃 It's issued based. No personal vendetta, only disagreements on issues.
I'm glad we agree that everyone had the right to their opinion.
As for your quote on perception, that again in itself is your perception.😊
I'm all for dialogue and communication. That's the only way we can keep society and our forum sane. So please don't apologise or feel that you offended anyone by posting your views here. Do visit again.
