What's new

Urdu was never a language of Pakistan !

Here we go with an inferiority complexed bangli babu.

@Nilgiri what's going on? Who opened the jar of these inferiority complexed... (As Amit Shah described Tee eee are am eye tee eee)

In few posts later, the homo sapiens guy will come and say this OP poster is a false flagger.

The most boring version of the "Truman show" one can find is this subforum.
 
We came out better in 1971. We reclaimed a lot of our heritage which we suppressed to appease others.

Today Pakistan ideology is strong, vibrant, dynamic, and progressive, thanks in large part to 1971. It was a blessing in disguise.

All the best to Bangladesh, they chose a different identity and future, but still our Muslim brothers and sisters.

I would have prefer if Jinnah made Dari or Persian the national language geo-politcally would have made us closer to Iran and the Central Asian republics also prevent our youth being enamoured by Gangawood in the the post 1980s media world as for the union I use to stubborn over the spilt of 1971 however l live among many Bengalis and most of them are arrogant SOBs and will bitch till the end of times about Pakistan so no use but damn East Pakistan would have been great export base for an economy had the RCD with Iran,and Turkey would have worked out East Pakistan could have been base for the Iranian Navies which was the original plan but 1971 aborted that plus we lost a really good connection with SouthEast Asian states as well

The vegetable seller in the still is a Bangladeshi, so is the moulvi also a Bangladeshi. The police sitting on left side is a Urdu speaker Pakistani and the other police are may be Pakistanis also.

Urdu was never the language of Pakistan, either the east or the west, but its imposition as a national and official language led to ethnic strife among the people, said an eminent scholar while speaking at the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) on Friday.

Delivering a lecture was delivered on the “Creation of Bangladesh: Myths Exploded” Dr Junaid Ahmad reminded that at that time the present Pakistan and Bangladesh were known as West Pakistan and East Pakistan.

Speaking at a university of language, the scholar delved upon the social and political dimensions of a language.

The people in eastern wing were uneasy over Urdu being imposed on them.

‘Urdu and other Pakistani languages suffering due to English’

However, he said, Urdu was not the language of West part of Pakistan too. It was not the language of Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab or the present day Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the scholar said.

To a question, he said the people of Pakistan never try to learn from the past. Without going deep into the topic, he made a passing but a potent comment while elaborating on secession of Bengali people from Pakistan. “We made mistakes in the past and are repeating the same. We must have to do something for the people of Balochistan and Fata,” he said.

Dr Ahmad denied that the figures which were presented by the Indian and Bengali propagandists regarding the prisoners, rape cases and murders and said that he had presented his book containing all the facts of 1971 to Bengali PM Haseena Wajid also.

He was of the view that Pakistan must maintain good relations with Bangladesh because what has happened now become a past. “We have to move on.”

An accomplished academician, writer and researcher, Dr Ahmed’s detailed and informative lecture educated the audience about the topic.

Speaking at the lecture organised by the Peace and Conflict Studies Department of NUML, he said that most of the things which are famous and against Pakistan are not true but mere a propaganda by the India and Bangladesh. “We as nation never try to tell or educate the people about the truth,” he said.

According to the Dr Ahmed, the tendency to turn a blind eye from a painful event in the history has only given credence to the propaganda of the enemies.

He called for open discussions on the issue.

NUML Director General Brig Muhammad Ibrahim, Registrar Aminullah Khan, deans, directors, heads of departments, faculty members and a large number of students were also present on the occasion.

Hi,

Jinnah had very bad advisors---arrogant---selfish---shortsighted---. They should have given bangla the mother tongue of E pakistan and kept urdu here in the west if they were so keen---and then kept english as the official language---.

Bengal had a very strong affinity to Bangla---where urdu was a foreign language---.

For west pakistan---urdu was not as much of a foreign language--it was used and understood amongst the majority---.
 
Go for Mandarin, habibi.....will yield better result, long term.

Not really, have you looked at how stingy Chinese are and will be with migration/work permit compared to west? It will be very closed economy in many ways...the soft power trends already clearly show it.

For everything else there is more and more advanced translation options available anyway.

That was half joke actually...
 
Nope. Urdu was the language of UP/Bombay/Maulvi Muslim elites and not the language of an common Indian Muslim. And Jinnah's close relationship with people from some of the people and Quran in Urdu made him to choose a common link language Urdu.
This is incorrect parts of my family migrated from Jammu and some from Indian Punjab. No one had to learn to speak Urdu.

This issue will never be understood my any Pakistani because we have 4 provinces with distinct languages. On every border on those provinces a new amalgamated language appears, however, no one is touchy feely about it. People like to talk in their own language all over the world but they switch over to reach out. Furthermore, all the provinces require their respective students to study and be exam-ed in the local language.

No one ever said it was.

The reason why Urdu was picked as a national language is precisely because it DID NOT have an ethnic color. It is a neutral language. The objective was to create a lingual bridge between East and West Pakistan for nation building. A Lingua Franca of sorts.

Bengali uber nationalists were too stupid to understand this. They ended up destroying the country for Bongla Bhasha and now most of them speak or understand Hindi anyway :sarcastic:

Instead of building bridges with your own country, you chose to build bridges with our collective enemies, if that ain't treason than i donno what is.

Have fun being bullied by Hindutva and threats of invasion.

How do you feel when RAW chiefs boast about creating you? :sarcastic:
