‘Abbu, Ammi, Biryani’ words created controversy in India.

Most Hindi speakers don't know that Punjab is a Persian word.
Land of 5 rivers is an old name for the region
It had a Sanskrit version, greek version with the same meaning but after Mughals Punjab became the mainstream name as they referred to the region in Persian
There are only 24 pure Turkish words in Urdu, which can't be called heavy borrowing. https://blog.siasat.pk/24-words-urdu-pure-turkic-origin/

Many Urdu words/roots must have been part of my ancient ancestors' house lingo. Also, many Arabic/Semitic words are of Sumerian origin.

We are related to all Sharif Biharis everywhere and Kahar isn't one of them. Never heard of Kahar. Will ask my Dad about it sometime. Do Kahar carry Urdu Ghain, Kha, and Qaf sounds in the family? Doubt it. Real Biharis do. Real Vihari did not worship idols. There were Vihar on the Indus too. We never called ourselves Buddhist. Obviously, Buddh was not a Buddhist. Budh himself was from the Vihari Hindustani ruling caste. From Mahabharat narrations it is apparent that Jarasandh was from the original Hindustani Vihari ruling caste. This was before the time of Ashoka.

Vihara or Vihar is a sanskrit word for Abode/colony (arrangement of rooms). Its like "pur" or "sthan" or "gaon" or "halli".

This term is common in Burmese - wihara, Khmer - Viher, Thai - Vihan, or Malay - biara.

Even today you will find all kind of Viharas in India. Baldev Vihar, Upkar VIhar, Sarita Vihar, Vidya Vihar etc All over India, from north to south.

The name bihar itself comes because it was an abode of Buddhists in India. It meant monasteries or land of monasteries. (buddhist and Jain).

"Biharsharif" however is a TOWN in Bihar state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihar_Sharif

It is right next to the ancient Nalanda University, And it was indeed the capital of Magdha empire. I suspect you come from there. Even today it has a 34% muslim population.

It came under muslim rule only in 1320. So what you are calling your "caste" is actually the name of your home town.

‘Abbu, Ammi, Biryani’: Private school in Rajasthan’s Kota stir up controversy over usage of Urdu words in Class 2 book​

A private school in Kota found itself in the midst of a controversy over a book with numerous Urdu words which is being used to teach a majority of non-Muslim students.

New Delhi: A private school in Rajasthan's Kota stir up a controversy after a book, used to teach class2 children, was reported to have many Urdu language words and names. The school has found itself in the midst of a controversy over a book, which is titled Gulmohar and has been produced by a Hyderabad-based publisher. Many reports claim that the book is being studied by a majority of non-Muslim students.

It has been claimed that the book contains lots of Muslim names like Shanu, Sania, Shireen, Amir and Naseem apart from general references like Ammi (mother) and Abbu (father).

he incident came to light after parents of some students noticed the change in behavious in their offsprings. Many students started using words like Abbu and Ammi at home to refer to their parents. Not only this, many children, who are vegetarians, started demanding Biryani to eat.

Following this, the parents complained about the book to local Bajrang Dal representatives, who in turn have filed a complaint with the state education department. Many claimed that the book has been dubbed as an attempt at Islamisation of the school education.

Parents of Hindu children alleged that the book as an attempt to create a gap between their children and the Hindu culture. The said book has 113 pages and costs Rs 352.



Hindu culture?

What is that ?

Sharif is originally blood related. It has the same meaning as Deva. All descendants of Prophet Ibrahim are geneologically Sharif.

[Genesis 25-6 relates that Abraham sent the [six] sons of Keturah away from Isaac “eastward, to the land of the East.” He told them: Go as far eastward as you can].

My paternal ancestry is in Nalanda which is Biharsharif. I mentioned it before. And, we don't get ancestries from town's names, obviously. Dad's village is about 20km away. It is the heartland of Bihar.

I don't think a grassroot name can come from top down. People probably must have been calling the area Punjab before Mughal named it. Persian was commonly used because of necessities of the time. Similarly, Urdu arose as a necessity for the empire and is important part of history and culture.

Pentopotamia - Greek for land of 5 rivers.
Vedic name - Sapta Sindhu land of 7 rivers in rig veda
Panchand (5 rivers) in Mahabharata
Punjab in Farsi

It's just the same name but in different languages, now for several 100 year's, we chose to use the Farsi version of the ancient name

Deva means a Celestial being.

Sharif in your name comes from the resting place of the Sufi Saint Sheikh Makhdoom Sharfuddin Ahmed Yahya Maneri.

Original name of Punjab was Panchanada i.e "Pancha-nada" , five rivers.

This was translated into Persian as "punj-ab" i.e Five rivers. The name “Punjab” was first mentioned in the book "Tarikh-e-Sher Shah" in 1580.

And the Sharif ancestry comes from Prophet Ibrahim [reference to the prayer called Darood Sharif]. Sharif means Noble in the spiritual or divine sense with God consciousness. Same meaning as Deva without mythical connotations. For example, you can say Ramdeva. Ram was a real person.

This a lynch episode in the making. The fanatical Indians are not a minority, they are the silent majority.

Petty people :lol: That is why India is not even in the race of becoming a Super power, because they are obsessed with petty things unlike other big players like America and China.

Arya means noble. Deva means divine.

Sir Rama is called RamaChandra, not Ramdeva.

Fanatical and silent.

Quite a unique and contradictory combination.

Arya means noble. Deva means divine.
Arya or Aryan does not mean Noble.
[of or relating to a hypothetical ethnic type illustrated by or descended from early speakers of Indo-European languages]

In Europe where the vast majority of Aryans migrated to from the Southern Russian Ural plains, beginning around 4500 years ago, they did not carry the meaning of Noble.

[The word sharif is derived from the Arabic root "to be noble, highborn." Sharif is an honorific term that has a variety of meanings in Muslim usage, and the word is related in meaning to sayyid. Ashraf (the plural form of sharif ), like sadat (or sada, the plural form of sayyid), are subject to special rules in Islamic law.]

The oldest root of Sharif is actually Sumerian. This language gradually stopped being commonly spoken from the early part of the second millenium BCE and was used only as a liturgical language in the first millenium BCE until it became extinct.

Aryan is an identity based off a common language base, not a geneology, whereas Sharif literally means Noble with its geneology going to Prophet Ibrahim who was born in Ur, Sumeria. The prayer of Durood Sharif is alternately known as Durood Ibrahimi. There are Sharif clans in the middle east who descend from Prophet Ibrahim [~1900 BCE].

Sharif/Deva and Aryan existed together in Iran and India where the former acquired the language of the Aryans. The logical explanation is that Aryans acquired the special meaning of nobility in Iran and in early ancient India due to their interaction with the Deva.

He was gloating about how BJP gives Muslims leadership positions so mine was a simple question.
Modi brings about 37 percent vote share. If Jamahir can bring in more votes than Modi, RSS will make him the PM.

BJP/RSS top guys love Muslims.

Pakistanis speak mostly Urdanglish. There is more corruption of English words in Urdu than is the case with Hindi. You will find urduized english words in official communications, verbiage and signage. Whereas authorities in India have ensure no such corruption gets out of hand.

So slay the Rakshasas. What's stopping you ?

LOL. There is NO "aryan race". It has been proved to be utter rubbish and pure propaganda.

Also I don't need "Indo-european" dictionary to tell me what the Sanskrit word "Arya" mean. Arya literally means "honorable". Hence Noble.

You are clearly interested in spinning an alternative fictional history to suite your narrative. Its pointless to talk further. Good luck with your project.

Indian Penal Code

Why don't you ask the congress to change the Indian penal code so that you can kill rakshashas ?

I did not say anything about Aryan being a specific race. Aryan identity exists in Europe where it does not carry the meaning of Noble.

Aryan identity in europe is an artificial construct.

Do you know of ANY EUROPEAN BOOK or TABLET that talk about "aryan" ?

How and When do you think the word "aryan" was introduced in Europe ?
