What's new

Urdu is not our language: Mahmood Khan Achakzai in PDM's Karachi gathering.

It became the language of the muslim court
Is that why more Indians speak it then Pakistani's? It is as "Islamic" as a Divali festival.
Isn't he Afghan?
There is nothing wrong he said. Pashto, Balochi, Sindhi are native languages of Pakistan. They dominate three of the four provinces. Urdu is sourced from the Hindi/Urdu heartland of Utter Pradesh in India.
 
He is right, urdu have its root in uttar pradesh.
another idiot commenting about the issue he has no knowledge, there were always two dialect of URDU one from Delhi and one from Lucknow UP and after getting Freedom modified Dehli dialect survived in Pakistan not the pure Lucknow dialect .....

- I need not to mention whole of Urban Punjab and Sindh used to follow Delhi dialect of Urdu [with little variations] even before getting the freedom in 1947

- Delhi was never the part of UP but geographically was part of undivided Punjab, and need not to mention which State among the States of Pakistan and India has more percentage of Punjab.

- And as far as Indian claim on Urdu is concern those idiots at present need to show a single street in whole of India where pure Urdu is spoken in any of its dialect.

- Lastly one can list the names of all famous Urdu poets after the freedom and should check ethnic backgrounds it might be a surprise for some that the number of poets of Urdu from the communities of Punjabi or Pashtuns residing in Punjab exceeds in number from the poets of Ihail-e-Zaban community in Karachi .....

- Same is the case of Novel writers and other form of Urdu literature

After explaining this all ..... I would like to say that Indians are not welcomed to comment about our Internal Political matters

Mate Urdu is a language that unites all provinces... regional languages are great no disrespect to them but Urdu is our national language

He's right but what other language should Pakistanis use then? Should they have imposed Punjabi on everyone as it had the highest number of speakers? Farsi wouldn't have worked because it was supressed by the British. English?

Call me what you like but the crap that they speak on Bollywood is Urdu/Hindi. In fact I have seen threads here which read "Urdu/Hindi". It's the same coin with two sides. Indeed if Urdu was a separate language from Hindi it would have helped Pakistan carve it's own identity with a bank of cultural capital as in songs, movie industry appropriate to it's size instead of just feeding off India as a cheap copy.
He's right but what other language should Pakistanis use then?
Allowed each province their own language like India does. Ask the Indians here.
 
Farsi wouldn't have worked because it was supressed by the British. English?
If the British could suppress Farsi and replace it with Urdu why could Pakistan NOT "un-suppress" Farsi*? Why not remove a British colonial imposition?

*Smart forward looking idea would have been to use Farsi as the frame and then nativise it by mixing Punjabi, Pashto etc and giving it a new name like "Pakvan". This is what Indonesians did. Pressure punped a new language.
Bollywood use same language as the language spoken by a common Indian in Northern Indian streets .... ???
No. In a country of 1.4 billion market they [Indians] use a language that apparently now resides in Karachi. Wow ... what a logic. You need to tell Bollywood who they make the movies for?
