and once you are married, every relative keeps on poking by asking, when are you expecting a baby.
And once you have the baby another million questions and judgements about your parenting
V thanks for the tip! 😂
What's wrong with having a baby. I really agree that sometimes people significantly your relatives going to ask you these absurd questions but now a days, unfortunately it is becoming common that not to have babies at the time when you are enjoying a charismatic and perfect figure and you don't want to be get annoyed and frustated by taking this responsibility just for the sake of material gains. That's why obscenity and vulgarity is becoming common and a matter of great concern and proving to be the devastating and lethal tool by staining their soul and bodies as well and make them deprived of the true, pure and sacred essence of their life. Thats why we are obnoxious, perplexed, wandering, lost, hollow, bewildered, spiritless and lost the true and strong connection with our God
I have neither judged nor said something that is sacrilegous, blasphemous or against odds. I just gave my perspective and I don't think being opinionative and having a perspective makes you judgy. Yeah i looked every fibre of my being and each time when i looked into the mirror, the replied came you are phenomenal. Yeah, i am planning to take reading and comprehension lessons from you. Good to you. May you will be blessed with the best. Atleast happy to know you have spared some time to go through what i wrote
V great reply, thanks for the idea.
I am older than this beautiful girl and I blown by her intelligence her clarity of her thought's, you are going a long way girl hats off to you.
Garima Pandey agree !!
Garima Pandey : It's a research-based speech. Before delivering her speech on this forum she made exercise so many times. .
How you say this
@@asreekhan7372 : Actions speak louder than the words.
she would make a good second wife... sure
Shes my teacher and I find shes a public speaker/poet and comedian. . . .
Wow, I have the best teacher
you are lucky to have her as mentor..
You do
@it's O.K english
Kitni age hogi inki
hey does she teach in private school or govt. school ?
That's my English teacher right there. Love you💕
Which institute is she teaching in?
Divided by borders, united by mentality. That's India and Pakistan for you.
Quick question: do you mean the mentality of the positive intelligent thinking of this woman like numerous others or that of the society around us?

27, Indian unmarried and its been a while I haven't watched such relatable video. It's like someone has listen to my everyday thoughts and conveyed them in the most brave brilliant and beautiful way! Damn I wish I could this video thousands like in just one go! Sending you love blessings from India! Thanks a lot Yusra for this video. The words hit me when you said about your mother and sister it's like someone just narrated my story! "My friend isn't afraid I will end up alone she's afraid I won't at all" Gold 😍😍😍
Well I am 24 graduated in dental surgery
And the next thing for me is my house job and for my family is my wedding
That is so unfair to my parents who first give up their money for my education and now for my wedding because if they dont do so they will be blamed as parents who are dependent on their daughter's earning...
Hope someday this silence breaks.
💔💔💔💔💔
The best part is you care about your parents... Very good
You want to do house job
Why only job in house while you have really worked hard to work in hospital or any clinic
Please stop thinking about house job and get out of your house
And build your career
@@gulabsinghsingh7248 House job is done in hospitals after graduation to gain experience.
@@ridaaftab2630 In India it's called House Surgeon/Junior Doctor after completing medical graduation
If I was in the audience, I would give her a standing ovation
Me too.. I would also wanted to meat her personally, what an inspiration she have.
I am Bengali, I am 24 and I am unmarried... Thank you for this beautiful video - you are intelligent and your video has touched me.
I am also from West Bengal
Soo beautiful.. being a girl most of us are taught to be an ideal wife and mother instead of being a strong individual responsible women... marriage is not a necessity.. u are a whole happy person missing no part dont try to complete yourself with somebody else ❤❤ earn ur own diamonds nd gold. Girls rock
You do know that boys rock just as much and neither arerthey taught to be career oriented.
She pointed out a universal issue in subcontinent
no she is saying about her community
Shahzad Aslam yeah
Ravidas Nayak if you dig deeper it’s get universal due to misinterpretation. Misinterpretation Again misinterpretation of the common religion in that community which would prevent them from doing this yet they indulge. Other than that they are the architects of their own destruction
True
Cousin marriage happens in all islamic communities, in pakistan in india, in Saudi and UK France ...
Indian ,28 yrs old, will NOT get married, loving family, well educated and successful. n EXTREMELY HAPPY.
Ekta Gupta i am also an Indian 34 years old unmarried ,wish NOT to marry ever , not successful but independent. Success to me is to build my own house one day but till now just managed to buy the land.
@@saritapaul1869 Right...Happiness comes from within...not from any other person...It's all about being happy in life after all...lots of love.
It's your choice though. but marriage is fulfillment of life
Sarita Paul Why invest in a house and land if you are not raising a family? Is it for investment sakes? Perhaps, the sale of assets will help during retirement ? Aren’t you bothered about support during old age?
@@ektagupta5120 dont be a feminazi..Marriage is the most beautiful moment in ones life..
I don't want to get married before 30! I have alot to do before getting married. Marriage includes taking a lot of responsibilities and one shouldn't get married untill he or she is ready for it.
I don't know why people think they cannot make their career after marriage ..if you see the all precious era success person they all married before time and got succeed in their life ....this is scientific that men women can marriage at right time if they need to marry so they can do their all valuable things on time ...some how I m not agreed on this do marriage bafter career or 30 ..
You are right sister
@@saveforestanimal2490 she never said anything about career and there are things that can happen only before marriage due to time and health issues. And people get married at the ages of 50 or 60 and are happy with their partners. And its only her personal choice its alright if you wanna get married earlier
Either you marry before 30 or you don’t marry. After 30-35, your value (to other guys) goes down.
@@shurik3nz346 I think not everyone thinks the same way. And who said no to dating?
As a Pakistani woman, I can completely relate with her and I'll say it's not exactly the same for men. Yes, men are also asked when they would be getting married but not the way girls are harassed. Their own parents believe that if they don't get married their lives would be miserable that they need protectors because how else can women survive. Men aren't told that they can't have hobbies because if they do what will their wives think? Women, however are told not to sit a certain way, talk a certain way, laugh a certain way, dance a certain way, cook a certain way and even exist a certain way so that their husbands and in laws can find them tolerable. She isn't saying that marriage in itself is oppressive she's saying it might not be for everybody. Not everyone wants to get married and let's be honest with ourselves an unmarried man has a much easier life living among his family than a woman. A woman would be forced to get married after a certain age no matter how progressive her parents might be either through physical coercion or emotional blackmail. If you're a man and you don't understand what she's saying it's because you don't go through that stuff every single day of your life the way we do. If you're a man who believes it's just as bad for men then you are a typical man who doesn't acknowledge that in our society women have it a lot worse simply because your insecure self can't acknowledge that patriarchy is oppressive.
@@Imrankhan-jt2kn she didn't say that Islam is a curse she only said that our society forces women to get married which is not compulsory in Islam it is a Sunnat so it is the women's choice to get married or not .
Our society should change for good. So that we women also get married happily by our will...like the Islamic way. Our society made it like this....our parents house is company which mend women for men which is unislamic. Society should should teach both men and women to be good like Islamic way. Understand y we women are backing out from marriage...then u LL know the real problem and then u LL get the solution. We are not products we are human...if we adjust in life, men should also adjust. Women's are only made to adjust which is unIslamic. If man start living Islamic life then life will be easy for women also and she can also be religious.
@The first part- totally true - Pakistani myself, sharing these same feelings but just never seen them in words and also have never had a real serious discussion about this - thank you
Aamna Here women as property.
So this is what your religion has taught you. Dear there is always a difference between the world of fantasy and the realistic one. In novels it looks so amazing to read that you have to be bold, you have to be courageous. You have to take stand for yourself. You really don't need to compromise. you don't need to sacrifices your dreams, desires for someone. Honsetly, I do believe in this and an ardent beiever of don't need to sit at the table where respect is no longer served. But there is a smooth difference between western culture and islamic perspective and both are great contrast of each other. If being sitting, wearing or talking in a certain way makes you feel annoyed and frustated then you really need to consult God for this discrimination. May be you query will be solved and honorable men are just implementing the rules and regulations imposed by the creator. if you have some personal issues with your God then extremely sorry for your impuissance and helplessness

Yusra, you are the voice of thousands of others.... and not just of those living in Pakistan. I am 36, unmarried, Indian. And i have heard every word of 'advice' from my elders that you have told here... from going on vacations with my husband after marriage to not buying a house as i am not married.
I am proud of the way you have presented your thoughts so beautifully... especially at such young age. Perhaps will bring a change to the mindset regarding women... although my personal efforts have all failed miserably.
God bless you.
Hi Rachna - keep seeking with God's Guidance if you wish to get married. I am 2 years more in age than you and I have been seeking for a long time. One more thing I hope you marry whom and when you want to, not just because the world wants you to....
@B Z - Hello. I understand what you wrote. I am just going to add to what you mentioned. There is a big difference between meeting males for friendship, dating, etc and quite a lot will be available. When it comes to a male settling down the things they consider is very different from dating. I am single as I am yet to find the man I would like to marry and vice versa :)
@@supritiphani1282 are you a Muslim? Why you need to bring religion?
Dear Khaduja, I am 36 as well, brazilian, unmarried and everything is ok! Is very common here! 🙂

hi we are of same age just 2 year difference can we talk?I'm 23 now
@gabru 20+ is considered older here and should have been married even before reaching 20
She is the kind of person I have in mind when I say I love and respect Pakistanis. There are millions of others like her I believe and I wish the rest of the people in our beautiful neighbouring country becomes as thoughtful, responsible and progressive as she is.

This was in Lahore, one of the biggest and most modernized cities in Pakistan, it is very common for girls to be liberal and independent in the city.
We do have.
@Uym O Hi, I have seen you in so many comments section. How are you? Are you from India too like me?
suraj sathyarthi Pakistani girls are undoubtedly confident but with dignity Alhumdulillah
We have many.. thanks for your concern
30 and unmarried. I will be fine. We need to ease pressure from women and marriage. Nigeria.
Yeah, i agree with uh
Love from India ❤️
I agree completely. We have a beautiful continent to fix, and the men haven't exactly done a great job at trying. The women of Africa will rise. We don't have time to be told that all we can be are wives or baby factories.
All the best stay strong, Nigerian ladies! ❤💪🏻💪🏾 l agree 100% we will be ok and can survive anything.
The way she speaks. It's priceless. How she put her minds and thoughts into words are inspiring and her voice is being heard. Loved it.❤️
If this talk is from Kinnaird college then those red paper aeroplanes behind the girl on the curtain are made by me and my team. I made 200 of those. Sadly I was not able to attend Ted.
Aamenaa Tanveer yes ,it is from Kinnaird college
Sorry for you. :-(
Bvrxxx
why I clicked this video is because she told that she is unmarried in Pakistan. I am a Indian girl,who always wanted to change world and one of goal is I will not marry.I saw myself in her .Everyone here in this world has a real existence in planet.Our duty is to find what it is?..
Lp Suganthi Its so true. I totally relate to you. I am a Pakistani and facing the same problem but no one understands me. Everyone thinks i am talking nonsense when i say i want to follow my dreams. 😢

Wow!!!!!! Incredible speech brilliant poems every word this young lady speaks comes from bottom of her heart. Maybe after sometime we all will forget her name but not her thoughts. I SALUTE U YOUNG LADY & AM A PROUD OF TWO YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS LIKE U. 😊😊😊
I dont think this issue is with girls only, there are boys who are facing that too, including me
"Bhai agar kuch karay ga nahi to koi apni beti kasay dega?"
"Bhai apna haal dekh gym ja varna koi apni beti nahi dega" i mean seriously? Why does everyone care about marriage more than that person? Its just the backwardness of this era
Hannan Faisal its not like nobody ever cared about the person though.. i see it like this; when we are kids we are cared for, prepared for the future, we learn how to live life the best we can etc. Then the time comes where we have to take on the place of the previous generation and start a new generation, passing down our values like this. And that is how life continues. And yes, men definitely have their issues too, it is not just women that experience difficult times.
thats because ... they try to tell u ...
learn to take care of urself first to take responsibility of someone else. its not wrong. its like advice about reality of life.
I agree with you. But most of the time it's asked from the girls why isn't she married? How does she look? Bandi Sundar nahi hai! What's that?
Just what I was thinking. It's the same with boys in our society. I see it happen to my brother a lot more than it happens to me. And he's 4 years younger than me. I guess he just needs it more than me. Lol
You are absolutely right. Even the fact that men are given a burden from birth, saying that they should study and stay strong, no one hears them when they're sad.
Dear men, I lost 2 dear brothers due to depression, talk about your problems, you matter. Turn yourself off if you're sad because you cannot jump without going down.
I love her voice and her talk!❤
hii
I am from India and I liked the way u talked about women's rights.
Love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
She's one of the best i have seen. confident and such clarity of thoughts, not to mention choice of words! Love from India!
Remarkable young woman. Keep inspiring and keep rocking.
I just can't stop myself from seeing this video
I can totally relate to what she is saying. I am 27 years old, Indian. I met a Pakistani women in america who asked me, "kis pagal kutte ne bol Diya tumhe america aane ko, apne walid walidein k sath nahi reh sakti Kya?" This is an incident that happened with me and I will remember it for life. We often remember how people made us feel so i guess yeah, i will never forget those lines coming out of her mouth. I chose not to tell her anything bcz she was a mother of 2 and if that's what she had to say to someone younger than her, then I have nothing to tell her. This incident also made me realise how society thinks about women and how small and insignificant our dreams our in front of their eyes. This is how society is, perhaps I would have had a similar response if I were in my hometown. I bet atleast one of my relative would have asked me the same question. So guys, this is not a problem of India or Pakistan. It's much bigger and it's everywhere. I guess this is something that we all must realise. I am successful today and not dependant on any man. So my dear sister's, wherever you are, India or Pakistan or any other country, follow your heart and nothing is more important than your own life, career and dreams.
Woman don't have to get married in order to get the respect they deserve After girl complete her education she could do many things in life like travel have her business buy her own car n house.Not just get marrued at 1 .Otherwise wats the use of education if u end up sitting in kitchen or with kids.
Zareen GULABI what an amazing thought....
How exactly you plan to raise your kids without having education. I guess we have quite alot unmarried educated women out there but what we really need is EDUCATED MARRIED WOMEN who can raise further more generations who’ll be educated because she was. Shaadi is not just for unparh, man!! Kitchen me sirf unparh khana ni banatey!
I agree with one part but one can be a stay at home parent and be educated. I think such decisions should be made by individuals and their partners. Not be society that how should a couple play their role to be part of a place.
@@munibaafzal570 Agar parh likh kr bhi kitchen mein khana banati hein, without being paid the due diligence, tw matlab parhayi ne degree tw de di aqal nai di.
wajiha Ali I think, we would be better off if we adopt children. Why produce more children when we can put the existing human resource to use?
Damn! I like the way she questions authority.

Thinking of marriage gives me depression I really want to be single in my entire life

If it gives you 'depression' then that means something is seriously 'wrong' with you.

Wonderful Yusra! You have beautifully given voice to the thoughts and struggles of hundreds and thousands of girls and even women. Hats off to you!
I got married at 32 years age, while my friends had high school going children.
I had been an Indian student of Eng Lit. Aging now 41, but wish I were your classmate or a student at least... Best luck as an unmarried beautiful girl.
I just love her tone while she's reciting poems ❤️
"It ( poem) is pronounced however you choose to say it" yes! Very true. I like it.
U thrilled me and fill me with hopes. God Bless you. Keep Strong and blesses.
lovely inspiration you are sis..
lots of love from India...
Love her style of talking and off course her creativity and analysis as well...amazing.. Fabulous😍😍
Positively amazing to hear such an intelligent and independent young lady. She will scare many. Because truth often does. Go far. Aim high.
With all my heart i wish you all the luck in world because its not a choice here its a fight here.

Her poems were sooo beautiful, this whole talk was amazing.
I was pleased to hear 'THE SPEAKING' of Teacher YUSRA AMJAD, who had the special poetic ability to focus her thought by her beautiful English. I would be longing to attend to her (Yusra) more lecture in VIDEO.
Repeat listening.. amazing girl.. made me tear up.. powerful words sister.
And that u forgot to add if somehow you are not married even after you have a job.....u must b having a secret relationship
Hmmmm Islam khatre me he ladies chilla rhi he 😔

Or somehow you have bad charcter so no one is asking your hand like seriously
Beautiful thought process and very articulate. Its not about being married or not married but giving enough independence to make your own decisions and being in a physically and emotionally safe world.
She had spoken by heart and the confident............incredible ...........
brilliant poem
What an amazing poet. I couldnt agree more with everything shes fighting for. Being a woman is hard enough without all the pressures put on us by society. I am 29 and unmarried. I also had to have my uterus removed because of endometriosis so no children are in my future. I dont mind because I am happy with myself and my freedom of movement. It breaks my heart that so many women all over the world are shackled. I hope that I see some real change in my lifetime. It's going to take so much work but I believe people standing up and breaking the silence will make it so.
So nice to hear you Yusra, so nicely spoken without putting anyone down; absolutely in love with your voice. Those poems are beautiful. I am 27 and I feel proud to have been privileged and being born in a family that respects my decisions. Always been supportive, they're okay with me marrying whenever I am ready and with me adopting a kid. Lots of love from India :)
Her words are so strong... so meaningful and powerful
Probably one of the most worth listening things!
You go girl 👍
Congratulations! ! Fabulous Speech there. Great Attitude! ! BRAVO!
That doesn't only happen in Pakistan but also amongst Pakistani born people living abroad. Fantastic and insightful speech.
From "Assalam u alaikum" to .."however you chose to say it "
I admired her😍😍
Mesmerizing.......its jst nt abt d ideology BT d confidence she spoke along with ......was really commendable
love her
you are amazing!
you are a lady, A full time lady. 😊
I think she meant equal rights in a conservative male dominant society, which shouldn't mean she would spend all life single and last as a spinster lady. She wants a partner of her own choice and a liberal life. On the contrary, in a conservative society, I may choose to spend lifetime as single and last as a bachelor. But I am not sure, what she exactly meant, as opinions may depend or differ person to person.
yes opinion differs
what she said i got it in a different manner in which i wanted to get
you must be having different
as simple as that.
Really glad to found smvn like uh, who is willing to change the world society, loads of love respect and blessings to uh from India
I completely agree with you. I too had to gulp down comments like why are you so picky about food your mother in law wont like it, why do you have so many shoes after all your husband will not allow these. I still unmarried and I am happy.
Such a profound speech. Loved it from the beginning to the end.
Also, love Harry Potter too :)
Wow.. is there an option to double like it
