Inappropriate Language...

[Spring Onion]

Write it in Urdu for me. I can read urdu.
If I'm not wrong we are called Hindustani and not bharti.

Bharti is a goddess's name.
I object to the inappropriate manner in which the word is used.

We call it Bharat and Bharti in Urdu in Pakistan. Nothing inappropriate about it

I already told you i object to the "inappropriate" way in which it is used.

But then why should you care? right?

Never mind.

The problem is the sentence in which it is used.
Most of the times the word bharti is used to sully Indians.

Why would do you think I'll object to it, had guys been using it appropriately?

Funny how the same logic being used to defend the word bharati when used for abbreviating the word Pakistani results in a word banned on PDF.

Why is "Baharti" a banned word? Is beyond me.

Not that I use it, but it is perfectly normal Urdu word: "Baharti Wazir-e-Azam", "Baharti Cricket Team", "Baharti Fauj", "Baharti Adakaar"...

Taken from the country "Baharat", which is used in Hindi as well.

I have never heard it being used as an insult. I think it should not be banned, unless we want to ban "Urdu Language".

(do not use this thread for any complains)

This is a serious problem on this forum, one thing many members get away with, inappropriate language is used and most of the time post are simply deleted. We have discussed this problem many times with each other, and it's time to crack down on any member using unacceptable forum language. There is no excuse for using inappropriate language. Such language only reflects one's mindset and uprising, sorry to say. If you can't tackle a member or if you can't reply to a discussion it's no excuse for using inappropriate language. Mods will not tolerate this and will not look into any excuses.
If a member is breaking forum rules, simply report him or tag mods if you feel reporting is useless. While i assure every post reported is surely resolved.

Slangs and sick Generalization...
This is also a massive problem with many posters, sick generalization and slang of no value need to stop. Such slang and etc, etc will not be tolerated anymore. Any member violating forum rules will simply be 'warned' under the section 'inappropriate language.
Words like, 'Indiots', 'Porkis'...Using slang's like P A K I S and Bhartis inappropriately also falls into this category. Insulting a nation, racism or any sort also falls into this category.

Bottom line: strict action from now on, no more talks and consultation through conversations. Country flags wont matter, Pakistani or not. No excuse for inappropriate language.

Anything to add? @WebMaster ,@Horus ,@Manticore ,@Oscar ,@Irfan Baloch ,@waz ,@Jungibaaz ,@Aether ....

How is bharti a slang? in urdu indians are called bharti aswell... we didnt invent a slur>?

The word "bhakt" is hindi for follower.. and used mostly by indians for eachother.. for example RSS Bhakt... even indian media uses it..

So calm down a bit.

Sorry, but you can not force us to change our Urdu language.

In Urdu "Baharat" is a country and "Baharti" is used for things originating from "Baharat". Have already given several examples. Even in BBC Urdu you will hear those.

It is a strange logic, it is like being on a German/English forum and demand to ban German words like "Bund" (union) and "Land" (country) because they are slangs in Hindi/Urdu/Punjabi.

You know what?
I can give a similar excuse for using some words which are offensive to you.
But i respect other nationalities and their sentiments.


Ciao.

Well spotted and well said. We have discussed this between mods and simply decided to take action from here on. At times senior or other posters where simply told not to use inappropriate language and their posts would simply be deleted.
Be it a Pakistani or any other member, everyone will now be infracted. No excuse for using poor language. All posters are requested to report, and if possible try to guide young posters where needed.

Used inappropriately it sounds insulting and is to the Indian members. We have to be fair here.

Yes. But lets be fair Pakistani members are no saints in this case.

If indians consider their nationality a slur... what can we do?

Are you going to ban urdu news,clips using terms like "Bharti Wazir e Azam,Bharti Wazir e diffah etc too?

@WebMaster @Horus @Oscar How is Bharat a bad word? In Urdu India is refered to as Bharat...........Next thing you know we are not supposed to call Egypt Misur, Jordan Urdan, Britain Burtania, America Aumrica, China Cheen, Russia Roose and guess what, this list is huge. I know that the forum has it's policies and all, but this is outright ridiculous. If thats the way then i fine Koran spelling offensive as they should be Quran and hence i demand this rule implemented as well. Now that it's happening i don't want Non-Muslims mentioning anything Islamic because the way they mention them its offensive to me.

Look you are being very unreasonable here.

In Urdu we have this word, which is used very commonly and in no way as a derogatory insult. Ask any Urdu speaking Indian, he will explain to you.

If some Indians get offended by this perfectly normal non-derogatory word, which is even used by BBC Urdu, then the problem lies with them.

What if they started to get offended by "Indian", should we stop using this word as well?

Because the fool advising that has little knowledge that within India's own constitution whose official copy is here
http://lawmin.nic.in/olwing/coi/coi-english/coi-4March2016.pdf

states the following in its FIRST CLAUSE
PART I THE UNION AND ITS TERRITORY 1.
(1) India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.
1[(2) The States and the territories thereof shall be as specified in the First Schedule.]
(3) The territory of India shall comprise— (a) the territories of the States; 2[(b) the Union territories specified in the First Schedule; and] (c) such other territories as may be acquired

So essentially your constitution is offensive to you?

Yes bro, we must not let Indians tell us what our national language "Urdu" should contain and what not.

It is being used like for 70 years and no one had problems with that, then come some new "Southies" (hope it is not a slang) and they started to get offended by that.

Please do not ban the word "Baharat" and "Baharati", unless you want to ban Urdu language.

The lady also wanted a ban on the term "Indian Occupied/Held Kashmir".

What next then? Where will it stop?

Never mind.

What in your opinion is inappropriate way ? I mean I use the word Bharati simply with meaning as Indians. What is inappropriate there? I mean what exactly is bothering you?

There will be NO ban on Bharat or Bharati as it is in usage by Doordarshan which represents the state of India and not one member. AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A BAN ON INDIAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR.
