[DESERT FIGHTER]

Imposed by who? Jinnah or the local tribal elders who chose to abide by Jinnahs recommendations?

British imposed the language.

That’s offensive. You are not even picking one aspect to be critique but asserting one language to be wasteful and useless? The problem is our inferiority complex, we promoted English while ignoring our national language.
We made ourselves slave of English language and now you’re promoting Chinese. Problem is not with Urdu but our mindset. How’s Chinese language log used in scientific world?
People who can’t take pride in their language hardly leave an impact or earn any respect in the world.

Is urdu native to Pakistan?

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

British imposed the language.

British favoured Hindus and tried to impose Hindi on us

 

[El Sidd]

British imposed the language.

So Jinnah was a British agent?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

So Jinnah was a British agent?

Did Jinnah actually govern the country? He died barely an year later.

But, are you a k... or just actin like one?

British favoured Hindus and tried to impose Hindi on us

On us? Bro, your ancestors came from north india. It was already spoken there , unless you are from lucknow.

British favoured Hindus and tried to impose Hindi on us

And Karachi urdu is pretty much a mix of Urdu and hindi.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

And Karachi urdu is pretty much a mix of Urdu and hindi.

Unfortunately

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Unfortunately

Im not even an urdu speaker. But it fuking pisses me off when people speak that way.

 

[El Sidd]

Did Jinnah actually govern the country? He died barely an year later.

but he did die after making a decision and recommendations for Urdu.

blame your political leaders of the time for accepting such imposition. Why blaming Jinnah for something he didn't do?

 

[Mentee]

Hey guys stop fighting over a stupid language. Urdu or any other language Is a product of evolution so what if we go a step further and adopt English as a Lingua franca for ease of doing of business and other things. However I do feel the need of translating state laws and all official notifications into regional languages so an ordinary Joe could get the drift.


Besides there must be a complete ban on teaching any local language other than any international one till high school. Have mercy on the kids.

Pretty fukin sure british imposed it decades before Jinnah.

I would however blame him for not imposing the death penalty for idiots like you.

 

[El Sidd]

Pretty fukin sure british imposed it decades before Jinnah.

Before that the Turks.

It has always been a language of the Turkic soldiers.

Is urdu native to Pakistan?

that doesn’t really make any difference. Does it?
With the creation of Pakistan, we were given the language too. And by the same person who confronted with the majority to give us the independent state but yeah we got problem with the language he chose to be our national language.

Hi,

Better learn the language if you want to progress---.

URDU is a wasteful and a useless language---. It is best suited for poetry---so let it stay where it is---. It is not the language of my elders---even though we speak it as urdu speaking natives---.

We should also start teaching chinese and spanish at the ground level starting from children---.

wtf, what servile talk is this?:-"URDU is a wasteful and a useless language"
Urdu is the most poetic, sophisticated and meaningful language on earth. To disregard Urdu is to disregard knowledge and humanity.

Japanese, Dutch etc are their mother tongues.

When a kid starts speakin in germany he hears dutch not Italian.

If language is somehow the reason for your backwardness than urdu will not solve anything.

A child in Lahore hears Panjabi, a child in sibbi speaks Balochi as his first words.
A kid from Kohat speaks Pashto and so on.

If anything we should have a uniform education system. Wanna read urdu? Yeah start that at secondary level.

Before that the Turks.

It has always been a language of the Turkic soldiers.

Thats fukin bullshit. Which “turks” you speakin bout? The Pashto speaking Gilzai aka Khiljis? Or the Persian speaking mughals?

It was the end of mughal empire when they started speaking urdu.. and even that doesnt make it ours.

but he did die after making a decision and recommendations for Urdu.

blame your political leaders of the time for accepting such imposition. Why blaming Jinnah for something he didn't do?

Do you think the masses even knew what Jinnah thought or did ?

My Grandfather told me bout his experience with Jinnah.

A thin tall man who spoke English to masses who applauded without even understanding what he was saying.

Ppl werent on fb or had cable and 9 o clock hustle with anchors dissing eachother and the govt.
Even bangali language movement didnt start till the late 50s.

But yes he should have chosen Persian instead of Urdu. It was a language already spoken and understood by the people. And it had similarities with all the regional languages.

Urdu a beautiful and romantic language but doesn't pay off in empirical realm.

Absolutely right. Urdu was and will remain a useless language. Urdu was imposed on us. A mother tongue of only 6% of population of Pakistan. Our consent was not taken when this foreign language was imposed on us and this language is the main reason Pakistan split into two. English is the only language that should be taught in schools.
