Quote of the Day: Commemorating Quaid-e-Azam

An Original piece by The Sanniah Experience! The video is up on YouTube. The link is attached at the bottom of this piece.

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah or the Father of the Nation for Pakistan was born to a Karachi-based family in the 1860s. A lawyer by profession, the Quaid perhaps knew full well the need for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.

"Think hundred times before you take a decision, but once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man."

Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Quaid-e-Azam, and his younger sister, Mohtarma Fatima Ali Jinnah, have contributed greatly towards the inception and Partition of Pakistan, literally meaning, the land of the pure.

The Quaid was wiser for his time since he rightfully pointed out the need for and deep-seated existence of the "Two Nation Theory" which clearly stated that Muslims and Hindus were not just two religions, they were actually two different nations [who followed different ethics, cultures, languages, ideologies, and beliefs] and should be given the right to a separate homeland where they can practice the teachings of their ancestors peacefully.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah believed in standing by his decisions and implementing the principles of unity. Till he breathed his last, he was loyal to the cause of Pakistan and his nations. He gave his all to fight for the unrighteousness of the state so that countless generations to follow will not have to suffer at the hands of injustice and religious intolerance as is currently happening in India [with the CAA riots].

While, Pakistanis today also need to remember and follow the Quaid's preaching of "Unity, Faith & Discipline", minorities are safer in Pakistan than they are in India a country that was strictly against Partition back in 1947.

The Quaid was a man braver than many because he was not afraid of speaking up for those who deserved it. He was a staunch supporter of the idea that men and women make up the threads of a progressive society together, and therefore, deserve to be taken together instead of secluding a major contributor of the society to the four walls of the home.

Based on that observation, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was perhaps one of the earliest Pakistani Male feminists since he had hoped that men and women would continue to fight for the Pakistani cause long after the Partition.

The honourable Mr. Jinnah started his political career as a recognized leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 up to the August of 1947 when his dream for the people of Pakistan became a solid realization with the Partition of the Subcontinent.

Seventy-two years after the long-sought Independence, The Sanniah Experience! and the Pakistani nation salutes the great leader for all his achievements on the occasion of his birth anniversary. May we be able to fulfill the Quaid's expectations of a united and stronger Muslim state that does not stand for any form of intolerance and injustice. Ameen.

'Water: A Friend or A Foe?'

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) An Analysis of Taufiq Rafat's Poetry By Sanniah Hassan Everything in this world is symbolic of the human race, objects, or ideas representative of a phenomenon. It is no different with water be it in literature or real life. As humans, we take water to mean something or the other at all times whether literal or figurative, regardless of the geographical or mental constraints. Writers through the years have always been somewhat intrigued by it as a source of survival, of life et cetera. They have always used it as a step toward progress or a foreshadowing of hard times, from Donne to Hemingway, from Shamsie to Hosseini, writers cannot help but be amazed at it. Similarly, Taufiq Rafat a remarkable South Asian poet is no different. He beautifully takes the image of water and employs it in his poetry to create nothing short of art. This essay strives to discuss whether Rafat’s use of ‘water’ in his works is that of a friend or a foe. Ha...

Walk Down Memory Lane: The Journey of a Hopeful Blogger

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan Reminiscing on my days as a student and laughing at silly typos going, "what was I thinking?" has me rolling back into my shell. Sometimes it takes a little introspection of the self to realize how far we have come. As an individual, a woman, a wife, a daughter, an aspiring writer, and a somewhat reserved human, life can be a roller-coaster of emotions. Lately, I have been thinking about the next big step I should take... too much comes to mind yet not enough time. So much to learn, much too much to unlearn before I can spread my wings and fly into the murky waters of life again. However, on a lighter note, checking out a blog I started for a project back in the day has reminded me of the multiple faces I possess, which if taken care of and nurtured properly can bloom into a beautifully strong and independent woman (hopefully wiser for her age!). If you agree that looking back sometimes helps one move forward with gr...

'Ishqiya': Disappointing or Revolutionary?

#TSEDramaReview! Spoiler alert! So let's talk about Ishqiya, a Pakistani drama that aired its concluding (double-episode) episode on the 10th of August, 2020. Although we had doubts about it in the beginning, the last episode was really well presented. From going full-circle in addressing all that needed to be highlighted, the ending was truly satisfying. Firstly. Hamza & Hamna though both deserving of the dangerous repercussions accepted their follies and mistakes yet, there was one thing that set them apart. Having gone through the sequence of events Hamna finally learnt that she will have to be patient in working towards redemption while Hamza stayed stuck in the 'fight for love' dilemma. There is a scene in this episode that really resonated with us and that was when Hamza's friend tells him to show restraint and questions his irrational attitude when he says, why do always have to bring in a fight? Why do you always have to talk about a fight? Secondly. We ...

From Childhood to Adolescence: A K-Drama Fanatic in the Making!

Posters of some popular K-dramas. No copyright infringement intended. By Sanniah Hassan As kids there are so many things which we love to do but, as we grow up and get busy in our daily lives, as only adults can, we tend to let go of some of those most cherished memories and activities. Recently, in my search of the soul [or my soul to be more precise] I stumbled upon my love for Japanese Animes and Korean TV series or as they are popularly referred to, K-dramas. What better way to relive those memories than to re-indulge in my favourite pastime as a child: watching K-dramas. So, I decided to create a list of the top 10 K-dramas [in my opinion of course] that I have recently seen and why. So without further ado and in no particular order: 1. Goblin / Guardian: The Lonely and Great God In all honesty, it was this series as well as my sister's insistence that I watch it with her, that made me re-enter the marvellous and dynamic world of the South Korean...
