#MyNameInUrdu movement gaining momentum; love conquers hate

[Sabretooth]

Us Pushtuns usually get mocked for speaking "گلابی اردو" but when I speak Urdu, people have always failed to recognize my ethnicity due to the fluency, fairly correct use of phonetics and grammar because it is my national language and feel proud conversing in it. It also doesn't mean that I cannot speak my mother tongue.
Indians don't speak Urdu. They rather butcher it. People who cannot pronounce simple "خ" have no right to call it their language. Indian should come out this "خوش فہمی" or should I call it "کھوس فہمی".

I hope people realise Hindi and Urdu are same language with different script.

You might get that impreasion because hindi copied a lot of words from urdu but real hindi is not what you indians speak nowadays.

Whether or not most people speak it does not change the fact Urdu originated in Lucknow, and Lucknow is in India. Hence, Urdu is an Indian language like Hindi, Gujarati, or Marathi.

Punjabi is a Pakistani language! It originated in Lahore, and Lahore is in Pakistan! Hence, Punjabi is a Pakistan language like Pakhto, Baluchi, or Sindhi.

Ok fine Punjabi is Pakistani. Are you happy? Although you guys do not even use a script indigenous to Punjab, whereas Indian Punjabis do.

 

[Mr.Cringeworth]

I have never understood why Pakistanis are so obsessed with connecting india to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, but get angry when Bangladeshis and Lankans associate Indians more with Pakistan

Quite sad no one like to associate with you lot.

Nastaliq is native to Pakistan region. It developed hundreds of years ago right here on our land (which of course was Mughal Empire at the time) from a Iranic Arabic script. Pakistan is the largest Nastaliq writing country in the world.

There are 80 million native speakers of Urdu in India. You are aware that there are over 200 million muslims in India right?

And your statement makes no sense. If most Italians moved to America and continued speaking Italian in the US, would Italian be an American language?

1 in 10,000 of Indian "Urdu" speakers actually know Urdu.

Are you saying even Indian Muslims don't know Urdu? Your statement sounds offensive to Indian muslims

I don't care if it sounds offensive. It's the fact of the matter.

No they are not....look at the vocab and pronunciation

You are an Elite Member.

What does that mean in English, the language of your colonial masters?

Urdu was a garrison link tongue.

Cheers, Doc

It took us 90 years to throw them out. No need to be jealous about it.

And do not get me started on the composition and roles of different groups in the Mughal army.
