I feel sorry for the poor guy. But more than that I find this very very funny. Actually, hilarious.
Yes, indeed, “hum inqilab kay leeaye aeen hai” and “iss garmi meiN kouN itna jaloos karta hai?”
The logic is impeccable. How can you have a revolution if the police starts beating up protesters! “Police waaley humaiN maareiN gay naeeN, tabb inqilab aaye ga!” Each line is more beautiful than the other: “Jab inqilab ki zaroorat hoti hai, ghar meiN har banda nikal aata hai?” Or how about this clincher: “Yeh mairey bhai garmee meiN kharab hou gayeN haiN!”
But what I love the most is the “MeiN Koee Jhoot Booliya?” routine. Iss saadgi pay aap ki qurban jaaeaye!
(I thought of trying to translate this, but I think that is not just impossible but also unconscionable. This has to be enjoyed in all its vernacular glory. I don’t want to be unkind to the young lad who seems well-meaning and should be commended for coming out and speaking up. But in the realm of funny videos this has to rank waaay up there, probably the only competition it has is from news reporter Chand Nawab, here).
There is another way of looking at the concept of this lad. Imran always talks of a peaceful INQILAB. PTI realises that any bloody revolution on the streets may destabilize Pakistan and invoke a forced military intervention a la Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
The boy is right in asserting a revolution through peaceful means. He is complaining that the police is depriving him of a peaceful protest and is right. Police that day was indeed provocative and the stage was set for a violent retort. PTI leadership did not let it happen.
Blah Blah Blah !!! . This guy was in another way representing youth and instead of showing anger and talking in this way he gave a message to those , who really do not want youth of Pakistan to do any thing , that we are weak and we can not do any thing. Its a shame the way he was talking. I really advise such “Burger” “Mummy Daddy” people to stay home. Coming out and talking about revolution is not there job.
Such Kids do not even know the meaning of revolution.
Imran Khan isnt doomed…. it is actually his success that this mummy daddy type generation is out on the roads and actually voicing their concerns!!! Hats off to Imran Khan and to this young guy for coming out and expressing!
@Imran. Thanks for that comment. I am also stuck by how many comments are stuck up about this and being so defensive. I think they are Imran supporter. I am too. And I agree with this kids main points. But that does not mean that I cannot see the humor in this. It does really look like a parody and is really funny.
When we cannot laugh at ourselves, it is time to cry at ourselves.
I admire his sincere intentions. He represents that jewel of the so called silent majority that has decided to take the first step. Well done! We need brave hearts in Pakistan.
