Urdu belongs to India, not Pakistan : Javed Akhtar

They say rupaiyay.

We say rupay.


Btw it were the mughals and sher shah suri who started minting rupee as currency in 16th century and British later followed it and made it the official currency.
rupaiya is a UP accent thing iinw, we say rupay in dailyspeak too.

also "baap bada na bhaiiya, sabse bada rupiiya" is an old kahavat

early crude dialect maybe

the final refined version is a product of current day UP
 
This great so called intellectual of India does not even know the basic fact that Hindi is not a national language of India.

This bhayya poet cum intellectual from Uttar Pradesh probably bought his college degrees from a local market like his fellow UPiites do.

I don't understand Hindi vs Urdu debate.
Both languages are derived from the Hindustani language. A Hindi speaker understands Urdu and vice versa. Both languages are essentially same.

And both languages are being imposed by the central government in both countries which is destroying non Hindi/Urdu languages.

No one disputed that. Not to mention the name "urdu" is from Delhi, not Lahore.

Bailey calls Khariboli it's step parent. But it went through centuries of Persianization, so North Indians were not necessarily the only cause of refinement.

It's refinement is owed to centuries of Ghaznavid, Ghori & Mughal rule. And perhaps even British standardization.
