@SenoritaPakistan The show has many themes; one of which is to show that the Tolchucks eventually transcend the Right-Wing Conservative post-9/11 hysteria when they actually get to know someone from Pakistan. The show also holds up a mirror to people's paranoia and lack on knowledge regarding current events and recent history. It's really obvious in the first episode when Raja attends his first class in an American high school.
@SenoritaPakistan Justin was NOT disrespecting Raja's salat. I think the context of the previous scene in that episode would have been helpful to you. Justin marvelled at, and was intrigued by Raja's serenity and self-possession, whereas Justin was riddled with anxiety over his social status and other people's perceptions of him. In the salat, Raja was demonstrating to Justin the source of his tranquility.
Did he say he was in Dublin, Ireland while he got the call to play Raja!! thats deadly! cant belive hes so well spoken also. i hear the shows finished after the 1st series. is that true?

Okay when i heard that aliens in america had a pakistani character i was like damn!but we have no pakistani celebs!!! and now this indian fuck is taking shit from us? what like there werent pakistani ppl to cast or something!!! hell im offended cause i am a pakistani.and he is not even muslim!!!
I think it's great that a Indian from South Africa plays Raja. It subtly shows how even non-Anglo people born and raised in Anglo nations can feel this alienation.
Gosh people chill. I'm Muslim who was born and raised in England. People make such a big dead about things, sometimes at the slightest nudge to the topic Islam...it's rather odd, lol
lol? chill out dude! pakis n indians r same its just hmm breaking up a land n naming it pakistan doesn't mean u destroyed ur Indian background! so chill... he does the desi accent coming from India n Pakistan.

Actually it's like tat central asian guys ruled India for wuite some time and u most probably are the progeny of some yester-year hindu converts or some rape victims unfortunate child's.. this bloody every pakistani cliaming as if there was some train service from turkey to inda and all of them come from turkey [persin is so fake
yeah, lol. I was giggling when I saw that. haha. But I think we all need to chill out here. It's NOT a huge deal. Plus, there is one Pakistani Muslim writer on the show... and no Indians, which I think some people here were really concerned about for some reason.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah you are absolutely right. pakis accent is worse than indians.you guys cant even pronounce words like "school" you end up saying it eskool. what a bunch of dimwit jokers, if only you had half the intelligence of indians.
he looks nothing like a PAKI. He is not even a muslim. Mohammed is the most common name in Pakistan, not RAJ or RAJA. Total Misrepresntation of Paki culture. Shame on CW !!
and also , whats up with his being naked in the locker room ?
tell me one PAKI who will come to the USA and gets naked in front of other men ? I bet Indians are writing the script or some stupid english guy, who has no clue of Paki Culture!
I know, first I didn't like the idea of this show but saw the preview of it and it looked funny and kind of showing people how to understand Middle-Eastern people and Muslims. Now, this message doesn't really change, but why not get A real Muslim and Middle-Eastern for the role if the whole thing is about accepting people of that background. Oh, and I'm one of them....too bad I don't act. Might have gotten the role. LA's only like 5-6 hours away from Phoenix.
So they have to choose a middle eastern just because you are from the middle east? Raja is not playing a middle eastern but a muslim. Are Muslims only in the middle east? Why not a real Muslim? hein! I guess they needed a good actor not a good Muslim.
Pakistan is a country of 160 million people. And they had to choose a South African Indian to play that role ? Who is a a hindu.
It makes no sense. Its like when CNN goes to Islamabad they stand infornt of a stupid TREE. So that they donot have to show the real besutiful buildings in Islamabad. Its disinformation !!
i was thinkin the same thing... really.. raja is hindu name.. n the guy looks indian too.. if hes gona make the character muslim.. then at least do ti properly... u know. music haraam.. etc
I am a muslim, and the fact they didn't choose the name Muhammad was a wise decision. And Raja is not representing the Pakistani in this show rather a Muslim.
Ofcourse he is representing Pakistanis. He is an exchange student from Pakista. The most common name in Pakistan is Mohammad. I would like to have seen how the high school students would have reacted to that name. Not a Hindu name of Raja or Raj. It makes a very important difference!!

No,
Ofcourse he is representing Pakistanis. He is an exchange student from Pakista. The most common name in Pakistan is Mohammad. I would like to have seen how the high school students would have reacted to that name. Not a Hindu name of Raja or Raj. It makes a very important difference!!
raazee 4 years ago
The name Muhammad is too symbolic, apperently you don't understand what it means. stick up with farida khanum, it's better.
Lyes99dz 4 years ago
I dont understand what you are trying to say ?
ITs too symbolic ?
The guy is from Pakistan and is a muslim. So why shouldnt his name be Mohammed ? Rather then calling him by an Indian Name of Raj/Raja.
If we are gonna change the name for the FEAR of it being TOO symbolic , why dont we call him Tom or Joe. Wouldnt that be perfect ?
We will not challenge any one at all then ?
