Arabic as a Pakistani national language is a bit too much. Though Persian might be worth considering. I consider Persian because the Pakistani nation is literally killing Urdu, the nation has started replacing Urdu words with English ones, even though the words we have are much better words in comparison mainly in terms of expression. The pride in speaking Urdu is dying we need to either revive it or replace it with Persian. But replacing the national language with Persian should be more of a back up plan.
Urdu is a young language and many works of Urdu literature were destroyed in its Golden ages, so that the British could introduce Christianity and impose their ideas. Our language was weakened. If we must preserve our language and our nation we must eliminate all traces of English from Urdu as possible. Replace them with Persian, Arabic and the indigenous languages of Pakistan. We must also revive our culture, our film industry is failing, most of our songs and our movies are mostly a copy of Indian or American works, such things don't satisfy us and therefore do not work. Poets can play a great role in this. If we revive our language and improve it and work on, it will sound nothing like Hindi, if we are successful in doing this our language will be among the greatest in the world.
Here are steps you can take:
*Learn to read and write Urdu
*Learn to write at least basic Urdu poetry
*Limit your exposure to Indian media, play songs sung by Pakistani musicians
*Watch Pakistani movies, (old Pakistani movies contain a lot of Urdu/Pakistani culture)
*When speaking Urdu eliminate all traces of English, (buy an Urdu dictionary) if there is no Urdu for word whatever you want to say, use the internet and translate those words into Persian.
* Do what you can to encourage Pakistani media culture, that doesn't copy others.
*Encourage others to do the same, make them feel ashamed of speaking English with Urdu whenever there is an alternative to it
* Never be ashamed of being a Pakistani
*I saved the most important for last, ELIMINATE CLASS SYSTEM. Just because somebody is poorer than you doesn't make that person any less of a person. Treat everyone as equals. The class system destroys any and every society it touches.
A large part of Urdu has been to promote peace be respectful and to create art. Please remember these things when socializing with people.
Eventually our language will make a come back.
Fact:
*If Urdu had been given more time to develop it could become equal to or exceeded Arabic, Persian and English
*Even English copied a lot of things from Arabic, Persian and Urdu
Lets nurture this language, culture, and nation to be one of the greatest.
One last thing I want to add is that many foreigners are trying to influence Pakistani culture so be on the look out for them, sometimes such influences can destroy a nation, many are doing it for their personal benefit whatever it may be, the British have done this many times successfully.
