Can I ask you a simple question? Are you wilfully or purposely being ignorant to the fact that urdu was developed in uttar pradesh which is in present day India? It really isnt that hard to tell that uttar pradesh is nowhere near pakistan... considering that Hindi and Sanskrit were the only two langauges around, I dont see how you guys pull persian crap out of your *****....
Secondly I personally hate urdu and feel it should be banned/discouraged in India due to its muslim connection. But its one of the things we are stuck with, partly due to a violent minority of 13% who might go blow themselevs up or god knows what if we decide to scrap it...
Yes 98 % is very conservative number btw. I would say realistically 99.9% or urdu is copied from Hindi. The people of Uttar Pradesh where Urdu was invented did speak Hindi/Hindustani before. The language was first spoken in Uttar Pradesh, then it spread to Bihar. After that, it spread to Hyderabad. It subsequently spread to all of Central India like MP, Gujrat, Maratha, etc. Urdu at the long last came to Northwest India (present day Pak) in the late 1800s during British Raj, mostly a initiative started by the Britishers.
Even in Uttar Pradesh, where it was originally formed, it is pretty much dead. In India its only alive in some very Conservative muslim places, and among some very limited Hindu circles in Lucknow.
