https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism Quite a logical and convincing argument you have there.

Thats all fine until you realize ~90% of China is ethnically Han Chinese who speak the same language and have existed as a united politicial autonomy for thousands of years. Imposition of Urdu is also a major cause for the low literacy rate and state of education in the country. Now people have...

Exactly. Honestly, I have no idea why people are calling Senator Raza Rabbani a traitor for saying this. This is what he said: "He added that former senator Nisar Memon was labeled a traitor when he called for Sindhi language education. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader stated that Mir...

What is cannabalised Urdu?

Technically, imposing Urdu on the region of Pakistan is a continuation of British colonial policy. Urdu speaking Muhajirs of Karachi would retain their language and would be saved from escaping their culture and abandoning their language :-) Like in Bangladesh/former East Pakistan?

What Urdu does is make Pakistan come under the cultural hegemony of the Hindi Belt/Cow Belt of India. Why do you think Bollywood is so popular in Pakistan? as username @Kaptaan has said "I would question the entire Bollywood industry and it's effect on Pakistan. Pakistan Army is going to be...

Most people of Turkey had Turkish as their native language for most of history, apart from minority Kurds, Zazas and Greeks. The situation is not comparable to Pakistan.

Jinnah could not speak Urdu. He only knew Kutchi and Gujurati. Which literature is this? Please give me examples. How can all our literature be in Urdu when 70 years back most of the population of the country did not even know the language? a) How is understanding a bit of Farsi a plus point...

Lol Indus Valley Civilization pre-dated the Rig-Vedics. What drug are you on?

All of who's heritage is in Urdu? And Raza Rabbani was speaking against the imposition of Urdu at the expense of Punjabi in Punjab.

Originally India did not mean what it does now. This is called linguistic drift.

Lol, phenotypically you cannot tell a Pak Pashtun and an Afghan Pashtun apart. The Mongoloid ones like Uzbek, Hazara, Turkmens and some Tajiks can be.

Yeah, that makes no sense. And btw why only those of the sub-continent, does this mean Pashtuns, Balochs, Brahuis, Dards don't need to speak it or something?

Then what was the point of imposing Urdu in the first place? Farsi actually was the official language of the various states in the region of Pakistan before British conquest in the mid 19th century.

How is Urdu taught in a 'Punjabi accent' in schools outside of Punjab? This doesn't make any sense at all. Punjabi itself is suppressed and has no official recognization or is taught anywhere. And what is pure Urdu exactly? The more Farsi and Arabic loanwords squeezed in = purer the Urdu? I...

Dafuq? What 'Punjabi hybrid' Urdu are you talking about and what does this have to do with your supposed 'Punjabistan' while Punjabi itself is suppressed in Pakistan. Makes no sense. And just in case you didn't know, the Kashmiris you mention of in Pakistan speak Punjabi or...

Yes, I think if more of them take genetic tests we would have a clearer picture

Depends on what you define as 'native'? Even Vedic Aryans were not native to this land. They were Central Asian/Eastern European invaders from the Pontic steppe. Yet every Hindu claims descent from them. This native vs non-native makes no sense. Technically only the South Indian tribals and...

I am talking about regions not religion (UP is a region). Potohar was Gandharan Buddhist for most of its history anyway.

I think Janjuas also claim descent from Hastinapur, Uttar Pradesh? Most peoples origin stories are not accurate anyways.
