A Writer’s Religious Partiality 

A writer’s religious partiality becomes clear when he chooses the names of the characters for most of his stories, novels etc. from his own religion.
A: I have tried to invent a new term called 'a writer’s religious partiality'. When a Muslim writer sits at the desk to write a story, then he thinks about Muslim names for the characters. Similarly, when a Hindu writer decides to write a story, Hindu names appear before his mind; a Christian writer chooses Christian names for his novels, dramas etc. But, sometimes a Muslim, Hindu and Christian writers also choose the characters' names from other religions. However, it happens 'sometimes'. In most of the cases, a writer's religious partiality becomes clear. I must say that this kind of partiality is normal and accepted by everyone. There's nothing wrong in it because a writer’s religious faith, his upbringing, his own community etc. influence him to choose names from his own religion.
B: Yes, your observation is correct.

write a play about it 

Comes from the idea that Shakespeare wrote plays whenever he felt like he needed to complain about some aspect of his life.

If someone is complaining, whinging, sulking, bitching or moaning about something, no matter how pathetic or meaningful it is, you can tell them to write a play about it to shut them up.

Sort of means, "i could care less...!"
