Choraha is the voice of a layman dealing with issues social, political, religious and intellectual. This program provides the rarest of opportunities to discuss the most serious of issues with 'Jugat' being the panelist's most dominating virtue.

Hasan Nisar being the wisest in his neighborhood and the center of attraction to his fellows, giving commoners a new dimension to think over their usual issues, symbolically hits upon the overall playscript of the world. The widely acclaimed column Choraha takes shape of a tv show. Watch some Muhalledars unfolding the conspiracies behind international affairs in the true spirit of Lahori Mahalla culture.

The discussion involves all the topics worth a word that occurs in the week. A guest is also invited for a small chitchat and another point of view in every episode relevant to the topic, whereas Hasan sb, Tehseeldar, thanedar and others remains the permanent part of the show.

With Muhalledar's simple questions leading to serious underlying issues and Hasan Sb's witty and intellectual insight on the current political and social scenario, the program is a treat to watch and a breath of fresh air in the monotony of political one plus three formatted talk shows on every channel.

Alif

Alif is a battlefield of ideas where Ulema-e-deen sit face to face with academics, politicians, intellectuals and experts from various fields to discuss religious, political and social issues.

Traditionally, religious programs on television in Pakistan were nothing but radio shows with a face. They featured a lone-expert addressing the audience in a long monologue. Devoid of any counter argument, such programming was directed towards converting the already converted. Alif was perceived as a multi-perspective Islamic program where different “and often conflicting” ideas could be expressed on one table. It is a continuation of the same Islamic discourse that started off in the Grand mosque of Cordoba during the 9th century A.D.

From “September 11 and its Aftermath on the Muslim World” to “The Status and Rights of an Illegitimate Child in Islam” Alif has covered a wide spectrum of issues bringing famous personalities like Samina Peerzada “Actress”, Ali Azmat “Singer”, Sheema Kirmani “Classical Dancer” and Ayaz Amir “Journalist”, face to face with Islamic scholars like Dr. Israr Ahmed, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman and Javaid Ahmed Ghamdi.

The Alif team constantly seeks dynamic scholars, intellectuals and experts to address various social, political and religious issues. If you have an idea that you think would make a good episode and believe you can be on our panel, contact us with your idea. Do send a copy of your resume as well.
