Dirty Politics - Pitting languages - English vs. urdu

Sadly in Pakistan, backward tribal thinking keeps on harping on urdu as official language.

This is all the while in our country for the last 70 years (and almost 90 years before 1947):


-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in higher Education is in English
-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in higher courts is in English
-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in army/military is in English
-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in ministries is in English
-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in corporate sector is in English
-- 90% + of ALL documentation / communication in higher level Police is in English


And yet, small but vocal section of Karachi and Lahore Elite keep on harping about Urdu as "official" language as Urdu.

This is nothing but neo-colonial mindset so prevalent among this small but vocal section of elite.

And why to forget that Pakistan is blessed with expertise in English rivaled only by a handful of regions around the world.

Other people look at us in awe when we can easily switch between English and Urdu and possibly a third language (like Punjabi, Pushto, Sindhi or Balochi).

This type of strength should be encouraged in today's global village.

Instead some of us want to drag us back to 1900 AD.

and some even back to the sand dune Biduin days of 600 AD.

What a sad state of affairs.

We all right in perfect English, that we should replace English with Urdu.

What an irony.

What the heck is wrong with some people.

I dont see anything wrong with urdu being official language. But iwud make urdu and eng both official. And majority of documentation is in english,thats fine, if they put in extra effort and translate to urdu terms, such that both urdu and english texts are there , nothing is really wrong with it.

And u said in pakistan english is spoken quite well.i thinku were being sarcastic. U know majority of schools have what standard of teaching for english. Yes therr are pakistanis welll versed in it but that doesnt speak for any cross section of population.

I honestly dont want urdu to die down and any other language to take its place. Language attrition is ugliest of the things.

اردو ہماری قومی زبان ہے اور اسے اہمیت دینی چاہیے۔

Since we are talking about Urdu, there's a very good keyboard for windows available here:
Urdu.ca
Makes it really easy to type Urdu on normal English keyboards since it's phonetic, so A would write ا , B would be ب and so on.
 
Crazy about Urdu? Why not اردو کے لیے پاگل? :D
lolzzzz yea pagal bhi, magar meme hee yehi mili thee.
Omg!!! And u know i am the only very active urdu typing /writing poster here. No one else does it that much. But syedali bahi always responds to my urdu in urdu. I even write english in urdu :D, too hard to read magar mujhay mazza ata hai .

Jee mohatarma bilkul baja farmawein hain aap kay Urdu-e-Mo'alla ko bator daftri zubaan rayej krny, jabkay bator zubaan-e-rabita-e-qaomi kay saakh mazeed mazboot krna ashad zaroori hay. Na sirf sarkar-e-waqt balkay awam-un-naas ko bhi tarjeehi bunyadon pey simmat ka ta'ayyun kr kay mussadiq iqdamaat uthany chahiyen.

Apki shusta urdu dekh kay dilli musarrat hui. Lekin mujhay zaban kay ooper itna gehra oboor hasil nahi ,iss leay may sehal urdu istae'mal karoon gee. Apki tehreer taqreeban poori samajh agayi thee lekin sirf mussadiq kay hujjay aur matlab samajh nahi aya.
Oomeed hai aap ainda bhi aisi fasahat aur balaghay say labraiz guftugu kar kay hamain seekhnay kay mawaqay faraham karain gay. Ahoooo!!!


Agar kisi ko urdu chorni hai tau woh iss leay chor day kay pasand nahi, kisi inferiority complex ka maara wanabe honay ki wajah say doosri language ko aisay adopt karna as if ur own language has no worth is akin to disregarding urself, ur own existence. Needless to say slave mentality is very much a part of this whole mess whether woh banda manay ya na manay.
Jo zehni ghulam hokay jiya woh bhi kya jiya.

Urdu zindabad!!! Oh yeahh!!!

Husn-e-nazar hay aap ka warna yeh munh aur masoor ki daal. Bohat zarrar nawazi magar mutla' krna matloob hay kay yeh sharamsaar Rekhta per ratti barabar bhi uboor nahi rkhta

English is the language of the present and future. Although it is extremely important to be well versed in your mother tongue. National languages are a political construct, dont fret over it.
