The Representation of Kaleidoscope Realities in Parizaad by Breaking the Conventional Barriers of Stereotypical Societal Norms
Abstract
Parizaad drama by Hashim Nadeem represents an unconventional and non-stereotypical storyline beyond the mundane reflection of gender specific roles. This research paper unveils poor life of marginalia, dark future of transgender, bid of body selling women, semantic and sociological degradation of the black skins, fetishism of modernity and the eventual decay of moral concerns highlighted in Parizaad. Parizaad drama, as a techno literary conjugation, raises the voice of unheard through television to speculate on a broader spectrum both socially & politically. Pakistani dramas are known for their ordinary representation of women's struggles, subservience, sufferings and patriarchal subjugation most commonly. Contrarily to this common notion, Parizaad, presented at Hum TV Channel, subverts these traditional concepts and depicts the sufferings of a male in a women centered society having female gaze, feminine power both corporally and economically that dragged our attention to delve deep into this drama serial to evaluate it critically.
