YES, laughter is the best medicine, and thank heavens for the Beygairat Brigade. Aalu Anday rips through Pakistan’s grim smog of self-righteousness, revealing a country where some people, sometimes, can still laugh out loud — and publicly — at men and women in power.
The song has of course gone viral on YouTube. I heard about it first from an Indian friend and colleague. Only days later, the Beygairat Brigade was in The New York Times. Since then, believe it or not, even Belgium’s French-speaking TV website has carried a reference to the three young men and their ‘revolutionary’ breach of Pakistan’s cultural taboos.
The New York Times has called the band and their satirical song, a rare voice of the country’s embattled liberals. Oh, the relief of it all. I am old enough to remember Pakistan’s love affair with satire and self-mockery: the Pakistani comedians of yore, the inspiring poets and writers — and even politicians who had a sense of humour.
Laughing about the follies of the establishment is of course still common in Pakistan. Like in other nations struggling to survive tough times, humour offers succour and respite from daily trials. It is a wonderful tonic and a great coping mechanism.
As the Libyans, Syrians and the Egyptians know only too well, laughter is the best medicine. And certainly the current crop of Pakistan’s military and civilian leaders is perfectly cut out to inspire cartoonists, satirists and comedians of all shades and colour. I’ve been queried endlessly about the Beygairat phenomenon by friends and colleagues who, having heard nothing but depressing news about terrorist attacks and violence in Pakistan, are genuinely surprised that people in the country still have a sense of humour.
They also appear quite relieved that being Pakistani does not mean being tediously conservative, intolerant and self-important. I tell them that Pakistan has a long history of satire and that people have always laughed at themselves, their leaders and at society. After all, the flirtatious Begum Nawazish Ali offered a similarly unusual insight into the surprising love of comedy which has survived in a country now in the grips of an ultra-orthodox, prudish and moralistic mentality.
Outsiders looking in cannot be blamed for being confused. If the country is diverse and multifaceted, why is intolerance on the rise? Why can’t people live and let live? Why are liberal politicians like Salmaan Taseer killed and their assassins hailed as heroes? Why didn’t the murder of Shahbaz Bhatti trigger indignation and shame? As Aalu Anday points out, how is it that all the local heroes are terrorists, murderers and criminals?
And when it comes to its official image, does an Islamic republic have to be stern and humourless? Certainly there is nothing funny about Iran or indeed about Saudi Arabia. For sure, Iran has an underground culture of satire and laughter which thrives despite the grim men calling the shots. But as far as I can tell, Saudi Arabia is certainly a land without laughter.
That’s what makes Pakistan — and Aalu Anday — so special. From Ziaul Haq to Pervez Musharraf to Ashfaq Kayani, no grim military ruler and/or chief has been able to curb the true spirit of the people. And neither of course have the hapless and often bumbling civilian leaders.I am especially grateful to the three young men for mentioning Abdus Salam, who won the Nobel Prize in 1979 for his work in the domain of theoretical physics but who, as an Ahmedi, never received the respect and honour he deserves in Pakistan.
