Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has won the academic award for her documentary, 'A Girl in the River.' Which portrays the negative but real image of Pakistan. In which we find how honor killing is happening in Pakistan and also it tells the poor condition of women. It has been much celebrated at home . Same as Arvind Adiga's work "The White Tiger" has been also celebrated widely .
Why the white people have only right to give oscar award ? and why this award get so much high importance in all the awards ? So this is the effect of post colonial culture. The Oscar award is organise by White men. If the writer get Oscar awards he / her get more respect , famous in world.
" Stop telling Sharmeens and Adigas to Photoshop reality ".
Sharmeen’s films are about truly heroic Pakistani women — women who have suffered appalling cruelty and oppression but who have refused to be silenced. In telling their stories to the world, they have fought back and exposed injustice. It is shows the true situation of women that how they suffering so by showing this reality it brings awareness in society. It is not the situation of women in Pakistan but overall in the world. We don't know many places where women are suffering. people not easily accept this reality.
There are many places where the writer try to show the reality. Many people not like Arvind Adiga because he shows the reality of India , bad side of India so people who like to see the glory of their Nation not accept him . The same thing happens in Slum Dog Millionaire movie. In this movie also showing the reality of India. It also got Oscar award. These writers respected by white people. So the question is that why the Indians and Pakistani writers get not respect by their own Nation. If they shows reality so people should accept them and try to change this bad image. Every Nation has both the side Bad and Good and we Should thankful to our writers that they shows the real image of Nation. It help us to changing the Bad situation of our Nation.
Thank you..........
