Guys have you ever noticed this subtle racism in Pakistani dramas?
I feel it has been around for as long as it gets. Okay I am not sure if I should post here, but I have always noticed that educated characters are always fluent in urdu, and characters like driver, dhobi, mazdoor, or uneducated ones will speak local languages of pakistan or will speak local accented urdu, like he will speak pushto, sindhi or punjabi sort of accent.
Which also subliminally created an image that local language speakers are seen as illiterate and jahils and paindus.
I am posting here because other subs quickly turn into catfights.
But I think this is about time this problem should be looked at, identified and talked about.
Uneducated daadi will speak lets say hindko but her educated kids will be urdu fluent when in real educated people still speak their languages.
