| Abstract | The production of objects aimed at contemplating as beautiful with a conscious use of imagination is credited with the title of artistic expression. However, from a utilitarian perspective, such expressions are also used for political, ideological, and material gains in the modern world. Propaganda through musical arrangements is an example of this practice. Considering the rivalry between India and Pakistan and a desire by each side to supersede the other, the study assumes that Indian songs have deliberate use of content related to Islamic concepts targeting Pakistani Muslims. It also asserts that such transmission of ideologically driven music numbers is affecting the minds sets of Pakistani youngsters. Such exposure is cultivating disbelief in youngsters regarding Islam and it affects the concentration of youngsters while performing religious duties. The study uncovers deliberate references to Islamic concepts in Indian songs, and it demonstrates that exposure to such music has a discernible impact on the mindset of young Pakistanis. It leads to the emergence of doubts about Islam and disrupts their concentration during religious activities. |
