.How would you define yourself in a crux?

Ans: I am simple and ordinary person, I am creative writer, realistic and I do believe in social justice so I have penetrated in my writings.

 .What inspired you to become a Drama writer?

Ans:It was inner passion of my existence which came out of social reflection, social injustice, rebel thoughts, classified system, and worst situation, what ever I observed I transformed it in a drama so I could share it with people. Though I have tried various experiences but when I started Drama writing, it seemed to me that drama is medium to interact with mass and techniques of Drama better influence on people’s minds. Dramas act well than poetry and story.

.How much importance of drama is in the Sindhi Literature?

Ans:The importance of Drama (Stage as well as T.V) in Sindhi Literature is as much important as other writings, it has evolved though out its history but in subcontinent it has developed after partition and interpreted the problems of routine life. Stage drama defines external aspects of life though T.V drama presents the discourse of internal situation of person. Though both tactics of Drama represents life of people and it directly makes communication among people, it is smooth activator therefore it is more popular.

.What tactics are being used in Sindhi Drama to date?

Ans: Incidental way is applied on TV dramas and various joints of incidents are taken and given an order to complete it, whether Drama writing is not only description of incidents but by touching sensitive emotions with consciousness in accordance of  an individuals psychology is the effective way  to write a Drama.

.Being Drama writer and critique put alight on Sindhi Literature?

Ans:Sindhi Literature is too much rich its root are strong and history holder. The genre of Sindhi Literature has evolved in various periods and every period has influence of different dimensions and ideologies. Prosper period of Sindhi Literature is 1970 to 1990’s. Now this is the modern period of literature and the subject of poetry in Sindhi Literature is mature. In a genre of story Sindhi Literature emerges in modern aspects and developed widely. Though Sindhi Novel has not made counter of many subjects, despite that Sindhi Novel is under latest experiences. Over all it could be said it’s not hopeless.

.

What is main difference in Sindhi and other language Drama?

Ans:Western and other developed counties have socially liberal society, therefore in their Dramas life and every dimension of human is covered thus those Dramas are effective because they fulfill the demands of their age; but Sindhi Dramas could not represent various angles of life due to ethical censorship, so there is no subjective variability in Sindhi Dramas but in regards   technique and art Sindhi Drama is very firm. Sindhi Drama had been only source of communication at the popular era of PTV before the advent of private Sindhi channels and it depicted social values realistically; writers and directors never compromised on story presentation despite advertisement were also present then. But since private channels came into being the Dramas presented on demand of advertisement companies and such Dramas can’t connect culturally with Sindhi public that is the main reason those dramas are the part of popular culture.

.What new things should be included in Sindhi Drama?

Ans:Sindhi Drama should not be incidental based but Drama writer must keep latest dry runs in their mind to write a Drama. Sindhi writer must bring new discourses in Drama writing than the generally written.

.Is there any difference between Solo Plays and Serial Plays?

Ans:Solo Play is one episode Drama in which story and result is mentioned though Serial Play includes many episodes and result also given after completion of all episodes.

.How many and on what subjects you have written Dramas

Ans:I have written 25 Stage Dramas, 20 T.V Dramas, except that 30 Solo Plays, 10 five days, 3 days, Serial Plays. The subject of my Dramas is Social Psychology, Romanticism, Inner disturbance of individuals, classified socio economic system, Social justice and family problems are included.

.

What message you have for our young generation?

Ans:Young generation must have to be courage, new generation ought to have social, political, economical and historical consciousness. If they want to be writer they have to be bold and secular. Youth must have to be brave so they can write on sensitive issues
