This is very funny to watch beauty of Urdu in English.
Very interesting and largely illuminating conversation, though it’s a little difficult to agree with the hypothesis proposed around 1:10:25 that there are no legendary “Hindu lovers or legends/ ballads” for two reasons.
#1 This theory could be extended to assign a quasi religious aspect to the stories of Heer Ranjha or Sohni Mahiwal - kind of defeating the message about love and its universality and introducing a slant that wasn’t obvious or apparent to the lay reader.
#2 The learned doctor may have inadvertently overlooked the stories of Sati, Shakuntala, Prithviraj- Samyukta, Bhanumati - Baz Bahadur, Bajirao - Mastani, and a few others while suggesting this.
That Indian mythology shows even Gods falling in love (Shiv - Parvati, Kam dev and Rati) is of course another aspect to this specific topic and deserves a closer look at leisure.
Language doesn’t have any religious barriers, so the doctor’s surprise at Hindus enjoying Mughal e Azam is a little hard to understand.
Guess Firaq wouldn’t be chuffed to hear that.
Radha-krishna, even krishna-meera is considered love legend..... Hindu epic is full of it which are famous in different part of the country and world(south east Asia)

What happened to Punjabi? "Oh That is inferior language that is the reason we imported a language from North India to Pakistan bcz it seemed "islamic" at it's core and nature. Punjabi was not.... That is why Punjabi Bengali etc were forced to learn and admire it" ....
