While most of the nation are sharing their opinion over the
fact that how media has a major influence in changing our Cultural trends not
many have noticed the efforts of those who have helped in keeping our
cultural vein alive. The fact that organizations
such as Rafi Peer theater Institute for preservation of art and culture, Kuch
khaas have been working hard to revive music, arts and culture, in a country
that has lost its entire sub continental ethos; is going unnoticed. These
organization have been working for a long period now, emphasizing on our Sufi
roots and bringing in puppeteers, artists, talents from all across the globe
with hardly any support from Government or any other authority. While being
alleged of creating poison in to the minds of our society for bringing in
dances, music and festive these organizations have brought platforms too many
of the famous artists known across the globes. Speaking of culture, our nation
has one of the most diverse societies. Inside these cultures we had amazing
Sufi poets like Waris Shah, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai etc. These organizations
helped promote their compositions, their poetry and thought provoking saying
that has been passed on for ages. These compositions were experimented many
times and the songs have also been performed in the modern pop genre as well.
These associations have given their immense support to the young talents of
Pakistan by providing those platforms to express their abilities in theater
music, poetry and even puppetry.
The question to be asked is that will their effort be every
noticed by the masses of Pakistan or will they always be ignored and considered
as a part of society alleged for influencing the general public negatively.
These people have worked their entire life for the upbringing of entertainment
industry in Pakistan (Rather what is left of it). They need to be supported and
appreciated for keeping us in touch with our own cultural identity.
nicely done
