waqar ali shb ka parizaad me jo music dia he kamal kamal
sanjay leela ki problem hai ki woh khud story likhta hai bas , usko direction aur art directoin karni chahiye, aur dusre writers ko use karna chahiye, kalaki usne hindi belt ki old directors, and language, arts, history, culture ko use kiya bohot non hindi region stories ke liye, gujrati, bangali, marathi, and now punjab
there is no pakistani culture, pakistan is a national idenity, haan regional aur ethno lingusitic ka argument i accept aur main manta bhi hoon, aur at the same time at higest level all are Bharatiya culture since first indians not just ivc, aur ek aur baat agar indian artist joh sindi hai ek pakistan nation ke punjabi region ki story nahi bol sakta woh, historic heera mandi ke log urdu kyun bolte the, joh UP se nikli?? aur arts like urdu literature, aur kathak, hindustani music in braj awadhi urdu language mein singing, ko heeramandi ke time woh log aur aaj tak pakistan kyun use karta hai?? aur india mein hindi medium films bomboy mein kyun jismein zadatar punjabi log hain aur hindi region arts, culture, history kyun use karte hain aur hindi medium movies mein punjabi and other non hindi region culture kyu promote? bolo in saare sawalo ka jawab
aapko urdu ke alawa dusre hindi belt ki bhasha bhi padni chahiye, tab aapko pata chalega hindi belt ki literature ki contributions: chahe prithviraj raso ho, chahe unginat braj bhasha ki literature ki contributions khaskar soordas ki, awadhi ki literature, amir khusro ni khari boli (hindi) mein bhi likha, maithili ke vidyapati, ya modern hindi ke classical era jiske 5-6 eras hain aur writers like munshi premchand stories, ramdhari singh dinkar ki powerful poetries, aur ofcourse urdu toh hai hi. Tab aapko pata chalega ki kitni rich hai hindi belt ki literature
us hisab se india pakistan mein joh log english bole samaj te hain unki connection all british history and their achievements se hai, arre bhai urdu came when khari-boli in north western region of uttar pradesh which got persianized, joh urdu bani, infact uska naam urdu bohot baad mein pada, usko bohot saare naam se bulate the, and in all medieval period north india ki sabse famous langauge urdu nahi thi, it was one of the famous ones, but it was braj bhasha, and awadhi, infact braj had heavy influenced in all north indian languages also and there were other north indian language which people wrote and made literature in like maithili, rajastani languages, punjabi etc. aap logo ki bhasha punjabi sindhi aur iranic langauges hai, uspe fakar karo, kabhi arabic kabhi persian kabhi urdu ko sar chada lete ho
no, pakistan is a natioanl identity and doesnt exists pre 47, only indian subcontinent exists (akhand bharat) thats it, and it is made up of 3 civilization initiation: indus valley, ganga valley, tamilikam. and u said that hinduism doesnt have to do with indus civilization, but said modern pakistan do, how? aaplog toh indo arya bhasha bote ho aur islam follow karte ho, woh us hi sab se aapki bhi koi connection nahi. aur rahi baat indus valley civilization connection to modern india times, well even during vedic period and mahajanpad period (start of ganga valley civilization) they have sounds which exists only and only in indian subcontinent region, thats why we are called indo aryans not just aryans (indo iranians). and on larger level all people in bharat, yes since indus valley and even before that the first indians are all indians till now, haan regional sub cultures hi baat valid hai, thats what ur argument should be our this movie, sub identities : langauge, region etc
Very nice conversation
Beautiful comments about tawakkal ❤
😂😂 I mean we hundred of South Indian stars who are delivering 😂but Ranveersingh who never even gave a 500cr movie is the last superstar
Although I am not very familiar with the pop era of Pakistan, I love your podcasts. Your conversation is quite different and gives one an idea of not only the person you are talking to but also the times in which they took their artistic journey.

Rafay bhai a little misleading and clickbaity. don't you think 🤔😅
These people are literally nobody , i personally worked there in CS 14 and CS 15. problems har jagan hoti hai tum log usko cash kr rahay ho woh b negative way me
Do you agree with your point of view of Boycott of Coca-Cola
I incredibly like Ali’s pronunciation and “sheen kaaf” in Urdu. Love and respect for his grip over ideas and subject matter. I’m a fan.
Please talk about Rohail Hyatt his production and his recent upload of lal - e sahrai he claimed and he will working on music and he will soon upload music 3 years he did not upload anything and also talk about his secret garden would be really glad to see Rahaill on you podcast
I'm addicted to Ali Raj's commentary. Need more analyses on Pk pop music
Ali Raj should be a regular!!!!
you guys should do a podcast on music specifically - we don't have ample platforms to learn about it and sadly we do not offer any degree program related to it!
Ye host bhai k balon mai konsa bomb phata hai 😅😅
Beautiful conversation

Coke Studio: The Inside Story ruclips.net/video/LLuWzJpMLOw/видео.html
Personally i didnt connect to the song. It was ok for me.
15 minutes in and ufffffff i am so frustrated and irritated by this host. Vaar khuda ka naam hai tmhaara mehmaan is qadar achi storytelling kar raha hai tmhaari han han han han han han han han han han han constant interruption constant constant interruption yaar bus kar de chup bhi kar jaa!
Hey man you really need to work on voice quality. Jub bhi dono akathy bolty ho samajh he nahi aati dono ki baat. Half of the podcast samajh he nahi aayi k lafz kya bol rahy hain. Sounds like you are sitting in an empty hall jahan awaaz bohot zyaada goonj rahi hai (not echo) but samajh nahi aa rahi baat ki and your constant han han han han han han han han han han just ruined the whole point of what the person was saying samajh he nahi aa rahi k kya bol raha hai
Nice
So happy to hear that he has tackled all the challenges with a smile and now he's doing much better
Bee Gul is an extraordinary woman! Admire her so much.
Love the energy with which Ali explained in the second half.
Thanks
3:22 thank god he is not doing coke
Urdu is a language of Heera Mandi
As an Indian, we don't get much of this information, so thank you, RUclips algorithm, for recommending this video! I also think Rafay Mahmood is sharing a lot of his own opinions. He should clarify his ideology by saying that according to him, Season 15 looks like forced storytelling. This problem exists in India and other countries as well, where forceful opinions can influence people, especially in this age of influencers. I really like Ali Raj's perspective and feel that in the middle, he was just agreeing with Rafay because he was on his podcast. I wish to hear more from Ali Raj about Coke Studio music. It would be great if both individuals didn't agree on every point they discuss, as it felt one-sided. Initially, Ali Raj tried to present a balanced view, but later on, Rafay's forceful opinions dominated.
Please get Rohail hayat on your Podcast
Yes shut down the only thing happening in music in pak with the younger gen having a shot at stardom waste of time
Loved every minute of this candid convo. Emu I ve always been a huge fan of you and Shallom! Best of luck for your future endeavors!
Both videos on Coke Studio is full of great insights and knowledge. Learned a lot and the nuance based discussion on display here was thoroughly refreshing. Again as others have pointed out Ali Raj’s Urdu is beautiful and very pleasant surprise for me to see in young people today. Also I am proud to say that I know Mohsin Changezi as he is my neighbour in Quetta and I also belong to Hazara community as Mohsin Changezi.
