India has developed its own fonts for use on personal computers and mobile phones, benefiting 15 crore Urdu speaking people in the country.

NEW DELHI: Ending dependence on Urdu fonts developed by Pakistan, India has developed its own fonts for use on personal computers and mobile phones, benefiting 15 crore Urdu speaking people in the country.


"We were thinking of this last many years and making effort to take Urdu language to people with help of technology. We have delivered it today. Urdu language is deep rooted in Indian culture. Indian history is connected with Urdu language. Inqilaab Zindabad slogan connected every one," Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal said here.

Developed under Department of Electronics and IT, these fonts would be available free of cost for public use.

The font has been developed in two categories- Naskh and Nastaaliq. Naksh, though cursive, is linear in nature. Each letter joins the next moving from right to left.

Nastaaliq font moves both from right to left and vertically from top to bottom with the 'nukte' or dots conforming to a strict placement order.

"We were using Urdu but being in India we were taking Pakistan's favour."

"We were using Urdu, Republic of Pakistan but from when we will install this Urdu font it will appear as Urdu India," National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language Director Khwaja Mohammed Ikram said.

He said globally there are 30 crore Urdu speaking people while India alone has 15 crore of them.

The fonts launched today are compatible Microsoft and Android platform.

This enterprise is aimed at isolating Indian Urdu users from those of Pakistan. Indian Urdu users, being Muslim mostly, this could eventually lead to creating a barrier between them and Pakistan. It is no big secret that Indian Muslims look up to Pakistan for support and security in a country where they are regularly subjected to killing and ill-treatment.

Who made you a professional here?

You always live in your fantasies, after becoming professional try to behave professionally.

Indian muslims never looked towards Pakistan, it was proved in 1965,1971 and 1948.

The title is reflection of OP's mentality. With a nick RAW007 and a total of 74 Posts he/she was Trolling as much as they could. Which explains the "Banned" in Pink colour.


On Topic, Urdu speakers from Pakistan really don't care. There is really no rivalry between Urdu speakers of Pakistan and India. Anyone who works on improving Urdu language is looked at with envy and respect. We Pakistani Urdu Speakers would like more Joint activities and functions that promote Urdu language between our two nations such as Mushairas and Urdu Theatre.

Let us all get together and Promote Urdu language which is probably one of the five most spoken languages in the World.

Like East Bangladeshi muslims looked up to west Pakistan, for security and support?

BTW far far far more muslims are kiiled and ill treated in Pakistan than in India, so keep the everygreen rants of PDF moongeri lal to yourself and try to post some sense from time to time.
