Urdu Language Classes Launched in France and Why This is Important for the French-Pakistani’s and the Muslim Community

Many of us want to visit France for its welcoming sceneries and a renowned masterpiece which is the ‘Eiffel Tower’. But how many of us understand the struggle of continuously living there? Only a fraction of us can comprehend because we are so looped within this fantasy for European countries. However, we can still agree that Urdu language classes in France means nothing but good!
Well, this happy occasion can open our eyes to the importance of knowing a mother tongue even in a foreign country. Also, this encourages people to study our language and try to find an interest in our country!
Basically, the Embassy of Pakistan in France has collaborated with “Together for Human Development (EPDH)” a French a non-governmental organization, to start Urdu classes in France.
Many Students Of Diverse Backgrounds Can Learn Urdu.
This is a great step considering that our language can get global exposure. This ensures that our language will be spoken by many nationalities and that can help with the perseverance of Urdu itself.


Moreover, the Pakistani community in France has been waiting for such an activity to start because there are a lot of French-Pakistani’s that are not fluent in Urdu. This can help bring them back to their roots and identity.
Ambassador of Pakistan Moin-ul-Haque launched the Urdu learning classes while the graduation ceremony for students enrolled in a learning and capacity building program was going on.
Islamophobia In The West:
Now, firstly, this might seem like a pleasant surprise and a generous boost for Pakistan and its national language. And that is true. However, this holds significance as well because it contributes to the reduction of Islamophobia in West or Western countries.  For More content about Islam and Islamophobia read here

France, as a part of the western world, is famous for its Islamophobic population especially after the well-known terror attack in 2015 in Paris. It was a huge incident that all of Paris still hasn’t forgotten and mourns. After the horrific attack, hatred and racial discrimination towards Muslims drastically increased. Here are some tweets from 2015 to 2016 that show how concerned people were over the rampant and obvious cases of Islamophobia throughout France.
This person shares Islamophobia of a third-person living in France, the tweet says, “Today, one akhi told me his experiences in living at France and the Islamaphobia that he received through out his life”

People have had enough of the generalization of the Islamic community in France. This user is tired of innocent Muslims being targets, “TERRORISM HAS NO RELIGION TERRORISM HAS NO RELIGION THERE IS ALREADY SO MUCH ISLAMAPHOBIA IN FRANCE SHHHHH”
Damn straight! We are thankful for this user for their simple yet impactful ideology, “everyone using what has happened in France as an excuse for Islamaphobia and ableism should either get educated or the fuck off this planet”




A worthy issue with little coverage at that time, this user has had enough, “Absolutely horrific ordeal for France right now. The Islamaphobia and racism is not helping in the slightest either”




Not necessarily a tweet from 2015/2016 but an important point that most of us forgot, “Sitting in wondering what would France be like if the French fought as hard against anti-African racism and Islamaphobia as it is currently celebrating winning the World Cup delivered by a team with an overwhelming majority of Africans and Muslims”




Famously in 2016, France clearly stated that women can’t wear long swimwear or swim gear on beaches. The burkini (which is a swimming suit that completely covers your body) was banned and the police in France started arresting Muslim women for wearing such fits. It was a worldwide issue where a lot of debate regarding the hideous Islamophobia saw existence.
Furthermore, Muslim girls in schools were discouraged to wear their headscarves while there wasn’t much outrage over other religious symbols/signs at schools.
The internet once again went wild over the idea of criminalizing and declaring full covering swimwear as a threat or ‘unacceptable’. Here are some of the best tweets (throughout the years, starting from the year 2016 in which the burkini got the most highlight) regarding the ban and how it is harmful to Muslim women living in France:
A valid point that a lot of people ended up missing, we shouldn’t celebrate that it isn’t banned everywhere but mourn for the fact of why is it banned in the first place, “on burkini bans: people who say "at least it's not banned in all the pools or the beach like other places" ok but the whole point is why should someone else, who is paying the same exact money as I am, have more choice just because our swimsuits look different?”




Did any of us look at it with this perspective? Muslims did but the people supporting the burkini ban didn’t, “What's the time scale between the burkini being invented and then banned? Nuns have worn funny clothes for hundreds of years”




Brock Turner is a well-known rapist that barely got 6 months in jail, this user thinks it’s ridiculous the burkini is banned but this person didn’t witness a heavy punishment, “it baffles me that there are people who want the burkini banned meanwhile brock turner is walking the streets”

This is a very true statement that addresses the discrimination towards the French Muslim community clearly, “This vile oppression and utter misogyny must be banned. Oh, wait, they're not Muslim. Never mind. #France #Burkini”



One of the major reasons for the dislike of Muslims in France is that Muslims are truly invested in their religion. Meaning we are pretty much inseparable from our teachings and faith. This is something that the French cannot endure because they are built on an ideology that entirely separates the state from religion.

The burkini ban literally started in 2009 or even back. The Muslim community has always been vulnerable in France and terror attacks linked with the name of Islam can cause a huge uproar.

This is why the introduction of Urdu language classes in a country with a history of Islamophobia is important. Such classes can widen their perspectives regarding Muslim countries and encourage French citizens to look more into our culture.

What do you think of the situation? Is this a great step for Pakistan or is it only short-term?

Moreover, she has wished the Muslims everywhere, including Pakistan, a Happy Eid as well!

She wrote a heartfelt letter of the length of about two paragraphs where she wishes Muslim families not only an Eid Mubarak but also includes that we should ‘recommit ourselves’ this Eid. She talks about Pakistani Australians and their importance. And wishes for a long lasting friendship for the two countries. This is the detailed message she sent:

“I send my good wishes to Muslims around the world, in Australia and here in Pakistan and across the South Asian region, as they celebrate the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr. As we celebrate this Eid we can also recommit ourselves to acting with respect, fairness, equality, and compassion towards all, regardless of cultural background, religious beliefs, ethnicity or gender.

For more than 600,000 Australian Muslims and the almost 62,000 Pakistani Australians, who make a valued contribution to our national life, Eid is a truly special time. Islam has become the second most common religion in Australia and Pakistani Australians make up the largest of Australia’s Muslim communities. Growing people-to-people links, our shared Commonwealth heritage and passion for cricket form the basis of the enduring friendship between our two nations. May this Eid be a peaceful and joyous celebration for all who celebrate this joyous occasion.”

Her utmost efforts for the well-being of the Pakistani economy as well as her work to ensure relationships between the two countries, will not be forgotten. Furthermore, she has linked the countries closest attributes (cricket) to formulate a just bond so that there is hope for a successful healthy connection.

Here is her latest tweet regarding her posting and future relations.

I am confident relations between Australia & Pakistan will continue to grow”

Ahmed’s Popularity Reaches India as Virat Kohli Tries To Mimic Him While Debates Of His Exploitation Are Still Running Wild


It would be kind of unbelievable if anyone says they haven’t seen this cute little kid, scrolling down their feed or switching between channels because Ahmed Shah is everywhere! He is the most adorable angry young boy who has the whole Pakistan in love with him. Being just 4-year old Ahmed has reached the level of fame that many celebrities haven’t yet. His accent of Urdu is what catches everyone’s attention and his cute antics are an add-on.

The recent video of Ahmed that went viral was “Peeche tou dekho” making this phrase so viral that there were memes all over the internet, people even started lip syncing over his catchphrase. He has been hosting the Ramzan transmissions, doing TVCs, making appearances in famous celebrities’ profiles, his life is the dream goal of any influencer. The popularity of Ahmed is so widespread that even fans from across borders have started making videos on it. Everyone was swooning over his cuteness.

Even the popular Indian Comedian; Bharti Singh did lip-syncing of his infamous line “Peeche tou dekho.” Now, now. This isn’t where it ends. While we were already awestruck with how quick Ahmed was getting famous, another video came up of the Indian Captain, Virat Kohli, trying to mimic Ahmed’s iconic line. He was seen in the video laughing hysterically while repeating the line. Well, Ahmed isn’t coming slow! For More Viral News Click here


He was first acknowledged from his video where his teacher had took his bag and Ahmed was raging over her saying “Oyee, mera basta wapis karo.” That video was hilarious and caught overnight popularity. Some people found it cute, some called the teacher out for pushing a negative trait in a child just for the entertainment, and others were convinced that “badtameezi” is not cute. Whatever were the opinions but Ahmed did get some eyes on him. After which he was called on a show and was constantly tried to provoke anger. It wasn’t taken very well by the audience and the host earned herself quite a lot of criticism.

Currently, Ahmed is in the conversation for his acting part in the Ramazan transmission on ARY and Jeeto Pakistan where he has also made brief contacts with famous celebrities like Meera Jee, Neelum Munir, Hania Amir and Mahira Khan, who have remained in controversies in the past.

People are accusing the media and the parents of Ahmed of promoting this toxic culture and snatching Ahmed’s childhood by making him stay on the sets for long hours while he should be out playing. The discussion revolves around the assumption that the boy is being exploited, just for the sake of money, ratings, and likes. He has been brought miles away from his home without his mother while at such a tender age of 4 all the child needs are to be with his mother. His parents and the media are cashing his cuteness, depriving Ahmed of the fun that other kids of his age are having out there.



It not just about what is happening right now, it’s about where it is going and where will it take him. Since he is the internet sensation right now so every picture or video having Ahmed in it is spreading like wildfire. In cases like these, the opportunists start coming in the picture as attention seeking tact for media to shed some light on them too.


In the recent past, another video surfaced of Ahmed with the model Hareem Shah who got famous from tick tock. The video wasn’t approved by any member of the society it was considered inappropriate even found to be disturbing. It was a very uncomfortable interaction even to be done in the first place and the sad part is that the model thought that the content was upload-worthy. A lot of the people even thought of it to be a kind of Child Molestation and said if the genders were swapped it would have been a 101% harassment case.

These hungry-for-likes people are wearing-out the innocence of poor Ahmed bit by bit and since he’s so young to judge the situation himself and protest against it, people are worried about his well-being. He hasn’t even seen the world properly and is being made an addict to stardom. It was even told by some sources that this cheeky little boy doesn’t even get enough sleep and he’s found sleeping on the set at whatever space he finds to sleep. The sight of moral ethics is being blurred out behind the media’s hunger for rating and likes.


There is no denying that Ahmed indeed is the cutest boy and we are and will love seeing him with those chubby rosy cheeks and cranky attitude but not at the sake of his loss. He equally deserves a free-will as the other kids.

This whole scenario is also being called out as a brash act of child labor. The reason being that his part on the show is not less than a full-time hardcore job. He is being paid with a lucrative amount of money which he has no idea of. The money doesn’t even get to him while he is the one working non-stop in front of the camera.

Another concerning matter is the objectification of Ahmed Shah. The way he is brought in “Jeeto Pakistan” is merely absurd. In one of the shows on being asked what Ahmed would really want to do right now, his reply was
“I want to be home with my mom.”



 Where the majority of the media was cashing Ahmed’s fame there were some celebrities who raised their voice against his exploitation like Mashal Khan and Sajal Aly. 

This issue was first addressed in a video by Youtuber Arsalan named, Save that Pathan kid which got recognition very quickly and many celebrities and influencers stood by his critique.



Other personalities like journalist Asif Khan and Noorena Shams, the professional squash player also condemned misuse of Ahmed Shah by the media.

However, this indecent practice of the showbiz industry was tried to be justified by Faisal Qureshi lately. Also by ARY Digital’s CEO Mohammad Jerjees Seja saying that Ahmed is being treated well and is taken care of. The celebrity however, shot a video asking Ahmed if he feels mistreated on the set or not. Most of us considered it an equally invalid act to be asking a child, if he’s getting enough sleep or if he’s being mistreated. A child of that age has the least exposure to how many ways a life could be lived. He would find anything fascinating. So it’s not about how he’s being treated. So I repeat, “It not just about what is happening right now, it’s about where it is going.”




The question that need to be thought over are if these working hours are justified for a child of this tender age? Is objectification of a child even humane? Is Ahmed Shah even ready for that kind of stardom?

Death Sentences Endorsed To Retired Brigadier And A Civilian For Leaking Sensitive Information; Shahid Afridi Expresses Pride


On 22nd February media announced that there were two high ranking army officers taken in custody for the espionage, leaking sensitive information to foreign agencies, but there were no further details disclosed of the offenses that were committed by the convicts. This information was later confirmed by ISPR in a video statement released of Major General Asif Ghafoor.
The captures were addressed by Major General Asif Ghafoor as success in the terms that they have been able to identify the convicts and took action against them. He announces the confirmation by saying that two officers with charges of espionage are under military custody and they have been taken under the process of court-martial by the orders of the army chief. Also, stating the fact that there is no link between both cases and they are entirely separate. "and there is no network as such,” said Maj Gen Ghafoor. He added that when the process will be completed, he will share the results with the public.
Following that promise, on Thursday, 30 May, Chief of Army Staff Gen Bajwa endorsed the death sentences to Army Officer ex-brigadier Raja Rizwan and civilian Dr Wasim Akram, and 14-year imprisonment to ex-Lt Gen Javed Iqbal again confirming that all three cases did not have any link with each other, keeping the rest of the information of the treason case confidential. The statement was given out by ISPR saying, ““The officers were tried under Pakistan Army Act (PAA) and Official Secret Act by separate Field General Court Martial (FGCM) for separate cases.” More news and facts about Pakistan Army are here
In a statement DG ISPR said that by the orders of COAS it is seen that Army personnel are answerable to the law. Also adding that the charges on the officials were according to their malpractice. He said, in Army, no one is above the law and the accountability will be held over all security officials. 
Any individual in a government position whether in uniform or civilian is under the obligation of not passing on any secret information according to the Official Secrets Act. Violation and is punishable by life imprisonment or death.
The details of the statement included the names of the traitors and the punishments endorsed by Field General Court Martial (FCGM) to them accordingly:
Retired Lieutenant General Javed Iqbal — awarded 14 years rigorous imprisonment
Retired Brigadier Raja Rizwan — awarded death sentence
Doctor Wasim Akram (Employed at Sensitive Organisation) — awarded death sentence
The ISPR however retained from disclosing the exact nature of the offenses of the officers who were involved in it but it is suggested by certain reports that sensitive information had been passed on to the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Both traitors who had leaked sensitive information to foreign agencies prejudice to the national security now endorsed with death-sentence was at high-ranking positions. According to the reports, Doctor Wasim Akram was employed at a sensitive organization and Lt Gen (retd) Javed Iqbal in his military career has held key posts. While the official endorsed with 14-years rigorous imprisonment General Javed Iqbal was a three-star retired general.
Lt Gen (retd) Javed Iqbal as a brigadier headed the significant 111 Brigade in Rawalpindi. He is believed to have the access gained of the sensitive information in his service as the director of the General Military Operations (DGMO) which he passed on to foreign agencies. Later by General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
Lt Gen also lead the investigation into the Abbottabad fiasco as an adjutant general. Before he retired in 2016, he last served as the Bahawalpur corps commander.
However, not much information is available about Brig Raja Rizwan. Some of the reports suggest that his service was associated in the Pakistani mission to Germany as defense attaché.
In conversation with The Express Tribune Col (retd) Inam Rahim who has served in the army’s Judge and Advocate General Branch shared that in the history of Pakistan this is the first time a three-star general of high ranking has been sent behind bars and an Army Officer has been endorsed with a death sentence under the Official Secrets Act.
“It’s a good sign that people holding high positions in the army are being convicted,”  said colonel.
Adding that If the sentences of the officials are upheld, they will have the right to file an appeal subsequently before the Supreme Court and before a high court.
This point was seconded by DG ISPR who said in a statement that the disposal of cases by the COAS is a testimony of the Armed forces’ strict across-the-board accountability system. The punishment awarded to the officers in all three cases is of a maximal degree in the corresponding law to their respective wrongdoings.
Here, It is relevant to mention that around 400 officers regardless of their rank have been awarded various punishments, including their dismissal from service, in the past two years.
Lately, in the case of Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani, former ISI chief, the army had ordered a court-martial on him for jointly writing a book with an ex-RAW chief. Lt Gen (R) M Afzal and Major General Khalid Zahid Akhtar were two other senior officers who in NLC scandal involving an investment of over Rs4 billion in stock market, also faced court-martial.
The analysts had to say that real accountability is that which is visible to all and that whatever was said, has also been acted upon. The military officers come under the ambit of accountability regardless of their rank. Adding that the accountability of Lt Gen (R) Asad Durrani was also conducted under the similar policy and the policy of ‘accountability for all’ will also be followed in the future.
Former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi shared his opinion on the stance saying that he was proud of the Pakistan Army for placing itself first and foremost on the line for accountability.

Pakistan is one of the world's top executing countries, according to the report of rights group Amnesty International.

At least execution of 14 prisoners and more than 250 sentenced to death were taken into action in Pakistan last year, as said by the UK-based group in its annual report released in April.

BJP’s Stupendous Victory: Pakistanis Send Wishes To Major Adnan For His Fortunate Career In Bharat 2.0



This whole week’s headline have been dedicated to Mr. Modi’s victory that has been claimed to be stupendous because of many reasons. The one truly greatest reason is that he knows Indians to the core and he gave them every reason to vote for him.

Coming close the elections he started anti-Pakistan campaigns which turned very fair in his favor. The fire between the Pakistanis and Indians started burning really bright. Pakistanis were having a good time warming their hands over that fire i.e making memes, while Indians were bursting in flames. So, the most anticipated call after his win is in this website.
The whole world including the US figured out how modi started this fire only to benefit his upcoming election campaigns except the Indians. So they helped Modi in his safe landing in Bharat 2.0. Indians are proud to have Modi back in power and these happy souls can’t stop congratulating him on his win.
Anyhow, as much as every little controversy played its role in Modi’s victory, this one person  made sure our Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wish mentioned in his recent statement was met and he now has the heart of all Pakistanis. His commendable act is going viral in Pakistan.
Major Adnan has been standing firm in support of Narendra Modi from the start of his campaign  and has been asserting himself as a proud Indian. In Major Adnan’s recent tweet he mentions Modi’s victory as a “smashing win” and congratulates him with good wishes. His tweet depicted great level of joy and excitement.

He also states the fact that he has been glued to the TV despite being out of country. We know Major Adnan you don’t rely on anyone in that foreign land, proud to hear that you took first hand notes.
All of us have been witnessing the great job Major Adnan has been doing as a spy for Pakistan. He is never on small missions, being one of Pakistan’s greatest spies, Major Adnan insists on going a step ahead, taking on bigger missions and proving himself worth the job. 

Ever since he has been “revealed” as a Pakistani agent, Adnan has been catching major attention and all eyes of Pakistanis are on how smoothly he manages hides his real identity in every statement from the Indians, leading them to believe that he is one of them. Way to go Major!
This time his mission was to make Mr. Modi win the elections with flying colors and he has been far too successful in it. The public is proud and excited to see how he works his game up in Bharat 2.0 and shows his loyalty to Pakistan. 

Major adnan was instructed to be careful while meeting other ISI agents and to remember the given codes. 

Pakistan will never forget the sacrifices made by Major Adnan. The way he proved his Pakistani spirit putting his life on risk and secretly helping Pakistan Navy before the Indian strike will always be admired.

Australia vs England: A chorus of boos and “cheat” welcome the duo; Warner and Smith

After a year long ban on David Warner and Steve Smith for ball-tampering in a test match against South Africa, they are welcomed by the crowd in the first formally arranged World Cup warm-up match of Australia in England with a loud jeering of boos and chants of “cheater”. The small crowd was vocal enough to attempt the stunt of disdaining the returning stars.
When Warner entered the field to bat and arrives at the crease, amid the scattered boos, one spectator was heard shouting: “Get off Warner you cheat.”
Hard luck for Warner he was dismissed at 43 on a catch by Jonny Bairstow, and was replaced by former Australian captain Smith. As Warner walks out of the field the booing continues. However, Smith became the headline of the match with a smooth century.
A few chants of “cheat, cheat, cheat” were reported by the BBC, although a lone shout, “Get ’em Stevie!” was heard from an Australian fan in the crowd of thousands.
Right-hander Smith managed to score his century with 116 runs on 102 balls, hitting eight fours and three sixes. The milestone was achieved with a big grin on his face in the 48th over of the match, he received an applause from the crowd but between the celebration he was still being greeted with a couple of boos. It was like he came prepared for the welcome.
While the commentator Michael Clarke spoke to him after the inning’s, he was asked how prepared is he to deal with the boos in the coming matches, Smith gave a pretty well-sorted response.
“I’m pretty chilled, everyone’s entitled to their opinions and I’m just happy to be playing and trying to do a job for my team,” said Smith. ““Fortunately I was able to contribute today with a few runs and hopefully I can take this form into the World Cup.” After that tidy response, the crowd will have to get their heads to figure out new ways to get Smith worked up.
Throughout the match Smith received astonished remarks from the commentators.
“Unbelievable from Steve Smith, how does he get it there?” Nicholas said. “That’s an unbelievable stroke.” More cricket news on this website
Smith also became second top scorer of Australia as he hit 43 on 55 balls while he bat alongside Australian captain Aaron Finch.
Despite the crowds efforts to bring the spirits of Smith down he played a splendid inning and lead Australia towards the win with 9/297 to 50 overs. 
The duo also played an unofficial hastily arranged warm-up match before England vs Australia against West Indies in England as well. But only a small number of around 30 spectators were present there to watch the fixature. So the duo didn’t catch much attention and managed to slide by safe. Whereas in the match of England vs Australia on Saturday had a several thousand spectators present there.
Smith was unstoppable and the fans are still positive to see him put up a winning play in the later matches of World Cup 2019 and Ashes.

Here's Why Pakistan Is Set To Become The Next Big Tourism Hub In The World


Is Pakistan safe for tourists?


The Answer is Yes. Pakistan, known as the land of the genuine is seen in different contexts around different countries in the world. The global narrative has always seen Pakistan as a third world country, which isn't far from the truth.

However, Pakistan holds one secret weapon, that not many other countries in the world have to offer. You ask, what it is? Well, if you really want to know, you don't have to hear about it - you have to see it. Home to some of the most sensational, awe-inspiring and astonishing sceneries in the world, Pakistan is a country gifted with beautiful landscapes. 

From the highest of mountains to the lowest of valleys, from plateaus to rivers, from greens to the browns - we have it all. If that is the case, why is Pakistan's tourism still not developed? The answer, lies in the lack of ownership, in the past.

As of recent, however, the game has changed altogether. Ever since the new government under the leadership of famous cricketer, Imran Khan took charge, the work on tourism in Pakistan started. From the billion tree tsunami initiative to turning government-owned-houses such as the PM and CM Houses into resorts - the change is being welcomed.

Pakistan's tourism is finally seeing glimmers of light after dozens of world-renowned travel vloggers/bloggers visited the country and urged others to visit the country which is home to not just beautiful sights, but some of the most genuine and caring people in the world.

Recently, travel vlogger Drew Binsky visited Pakistan and after his visit, he came out with a video titled 'WHY IS EVERYTHING FREE IN PAKISTAN?' - a video, that has since got millions of views and thousands of comments from people around the world, stating how they wanted to visit Pakistan and revive its tourism.

In the video, Drew Binsky goes to many different cities, buys many different eating and drinking items, even traditional local goodies as souvenirs. All his purchases had one thing in common, which was that nobody would take money from him, and give all the stuff as gifts. Pakistan's tourism might not be flourishing at the moment, but the people here have the BIGGEST hearts! 



Tourism in Pakistan is not dead, it never was. However, to survive in the 21st century, not being a strong economy, Pakistan needs tourism. Backpackers from different countries of the world, just traveling to Pakistan, enjoying the tourism here, visiting different locations and breathing a sigh of relief, thanking God for the beauty bestowed upon this land. 

Apart from Drew, travel vloggers such as Eva Zu Beck, Mark Wiens, The Food Ranger, and Rosie Gabrielle also visited Pakistan recently, working closely with the Ministry of Tourism to kickstart Pakistan tourism plans. 

With every video that ends up on the internet, tourists from all over the world show interest in visiting Pakistan - going to Hunza, Gilgit, Neelam Valley, Ziarat in Balochistan, Ranikot Fort in Sindh, Murree, Patriata, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi and what not!! Even the smallest of cities spark the most massive interest in tourism. 

Apart from the cheap flights to Pakistan, cheap and mouthwatering food is also one of the perks tourists get here. If you're into hippie culture, Pakistan has a lot of offer on that end as well, in terms of tourism - the greens and browns, ladies and gentlemen. 


So one asks, why cannot Pakistan become the next hub of tourism? Why can't Pakistan's tourism be one of the best in the world? And the answer is, of course, it can be, and soon, it WILL be. Tourism in Pakistan is about to flourish and reach new heights soon, and if you want to be a part of it, grab your tickets and take a trip to this wonderland created by God Almighty himself!

A.R REHMAN’S AVENGERS: ENDGAME SONG WAS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE, SADLY

Once you hear it, you will know why Thanos wanted to wipe humanity. Yes, we knew this collaboration was in the works and I am sure a lot of us had major expectations from a legendary music composer but beware if your ears haven’t been victimized by this Hindi anthem. It is bad, bad. Is Marvel that desperate to attract the Indian audience? They didn’t really need to do this though. We all have been waiting for the AVENGERS: ENDGAME.

In case the song composed and of course sung by A.R Rehman wasn’t enough, he went ahead and incorporated some cringe-worthy rap in it too. SENSATIONAL! And what is even best is Indian News Publications are all praises about it.  After all, they rarely criticize their own, publically at least. According to certain news, the AVENGERS:ENDGAME anthem has set the mood for the upcoming movie which will be released in theaters on April 26th. Yes, a mood of disappointment and cringe, but not for the movie though. This Indian Marvel Anthem was like oil and water; they don’t mesh well together, in fact not at all. It is set to release in Tamil and Telugu, too. At least now we will be prepared and will know where not to click unless it is for laughs!

Let’s get into the details before we share the reactions to this song, which might intrigue you.  But the song starts showing darkness and defeat, where the world is cast into Thanos’s dark shadow in the last Avengers movie Infinity War. His lyrics as he sings gives the notion that Avenger’s will strike back and stronger as their resolution is to take down Thanos and save the world. Followed by snippets from AVENGERS:ENDGAME showing strong moments of the entire team including Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Iron Man, and Hawkeye. And anyone who is a Marvel fan would find those moments to be powerful yet emotional. Don’t forget to mute the video, to enjoy the snippets from the new movie. You’re welcome. This is by far the best story out of the leading viral stories we have seen so far.
"Being surrounded by Marvel fans in my own family, there was too much pressure to come with something really satisfying and apt for Avengers: Endgame. I hope Marvel aficionados and music lovers enjoy the track," – A.R REHMAN
The pressure did get to him, no doubt. But hey, apart from all the roasting you cannot deny how amazingly talented Rehman is. This just wasn’t it though. Let’s get to the fun part, and see what the audience had to say about this.
IPL ANTHEM IS BETTER (Ouch, shots fired!) 
This user just went for it and called it “off class” and compared the anthem to the already cringe-worthy IPL anthem and this is hilarious.


The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Anthem Was Better
This user has similar feelings about the anthem, as he also believes it sounds like a sports anthem and considers ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ had a better anthem made by @Sanam_Official. Rehman sure is getting some serious criticism.

 APPRECIATE KARNA CHAHIYE
SOMEONE actually tried to defend Rehman by reminding others that it is happening for the first time but was shut down immediately by another user. And with the same argument of it sounding like an anthem for sports. In his defense, he just doesn’t connect with the song well. Same here! doesn’t sit well with us too.

 UNBEARABLE AND PISSED OFF
Oh snap! This man is definitely angry with this creation and tagged A.R Rehman in his tweet, telling him off. He went on reminding him how boring and predictable he has become and called the anthem ‘unbearable’. He is clearly pissed and made sure to tell it like it is.
So here we have it guys, the fans are not happy. I’m sure you have caught up to this conclusion by now. So what are your sentiments towards the anthem and the music maestro.
