Significance of the Urdu Drama in Awareness of Contemporary Social Segments and Islamic Morality (In Perspective of Pakistani Society)
Abstract
Dramatics has been the prominent mean of expressing the feelings, emotions and sensation of human. A play may be based on a real story or on a fiction. It is a way of communication, mutual understanding, reconciliation, expressing ideas and a way of environmental awareness. The subject of ancient plays was confined to religious rituals, and from the expression of religious rituals to awareness of the social issues. History of dramatics shows that the Greeks, Indians and ancient Arabs have used this art to promote their religious rituals. However, now this art is consciously decorated with social problems and issues. For a long period, the central theme of Urdu plays has been fiction and historical stories, but Agha Mohammad Hasher Kashmiri transformed the face of drama from the fantasy world into awareness of real social problems. It is a fact that Urdu plays have contributed significantly in creating social awareness and promoting moral and religious values. Nevertheless, due to the influence of technology and commercial requirements, modern play has lost its standards.
