Biggest mistake of Pakistani nationhood was not to choose the national language from one of the Big Fours (Pashto,Punjabi,Baloch,Sindhi)
Thank you for this....Absolutely Fantastic!!!
Bhai plz plzzz think think again!
From a communications point of view, all ethnicities needed a common language to talk to each other.
From purely ethnic perspective, if Punjabi would've been declared the national language, the subnationslists would've wreaked havoc throughout the Indus!
From a practical POV, as well as scientific n language skills point of view, it is because of Urdu that Pakistanis r generally considered very good at adopting proper dialect n pronunciations coz Urdu script has almost every kind of sound covered in it's alphabets n children r able to learn that from young age!
Last but not the least, from historical POV, Urdu has a vast vasr body of knowledge translated from rich Arab n Persian literary tradition which would've been rendered completely alien to us all had v not been able to read n write Urdu.
Finally, Urdu is NOT & I repeat not associated with any particular ethnicity! It has been drilled into the masses the other way coz of selfish power hungry leaderships throughout this country's history!
Infact this is the biggest advantage that Urdu does not related to any particular ethnicity partly like what Israel did by resurrecting the Hebrew language to neutralize feelings of Jews migrating to Israel from worldwide diaspora.
Plz THINK ppl think! Don't fall for popular propaganda which led Bengalis to be blinded completely!
