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.

Quran in Urdu?

Persian or Dari

There would actually have been a strong historical precedent for making Dari the national language. Prior to the Brits, Dari had been used as the lingua franca (neutral "language in common") for centuries even by non-Muslims in the Indus region like the Sikhs. My fathers grandfather was fluent in the language as were many others who had been educated at a time when British influence was not as strong. The reason I suppose why Pakistan went ahead with Urdu was so that these Bengalis would not feel excluded. As the world would subsequently find out, they love being victims and started their own language movement anyways.

we lost a really good connection with SouthEast Asian states as well

We can deal with them on a personal basis and pressure them to ditch India. Pakistan should put more effort into joining ASEAN.

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---.

The end result would have been the same.

Quaid e Azam did the correct thing, unfortunately we had no idea the hold of Hindu leaders on Bengal would be this strong.

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.

Write something which make sense not just like this shit storm....you posted....

 

[Sheikh Rauf]

True Urdu wasn't the Language of Pakistan.............But it is now and we are happy to speak it.

Personally i would have preferred Dari ( old Persian ) as the language, but Jinnah wanted Pakistan to have a close relationship with India as long as we live separately so he choose Urdu.

respect the Leader buddy we learned to call father with respect.
i rather go for Arabic to understand Deen better.

 

[Cookie Monster]

LOL this guy and this topic yet again. Spammity spam spam....

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

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?

These kind of ppl throw logic out the window just to declare that whatever they think is right.

Had Bengali been made the national language of Pakistan then Punjabi/Sindhi/Baloch/Pathan would've complained. If Pashto was chosen then the other ethnic groups would've complained. So Urdu was chosen as a neutral language as Horus has pointed out.

The purpose of implementing a COMMON language(to be taught in school and promoted at all levels) for a nation is necessary so that the nation's ppl can understand one another at all levels. A Baloch teacher can go teach at a school in Gligit...or when the prime minister addresses his nation he can do so in the national language(and ppl can understand him/her) instead of the prime minister having to do it in the many languages spoken in Pakistan. This doesn't mean one has to abandon their own language...they can continue to speak their own language(whatever it maybe) and learn Urdu in addition. Pakistan isn't alone in doing this...this is done around the world.

In US, ppl come here from all parts of the world with their own languages. In fact there are more languages spoken in US than in Pakistan. Yet ALL must learn/speak the common language...English. I don't see any brave Bangladeshis protesting here about how English is being imposed on them and making movies about it. It's just a pathetic mindset.

Bangladeshis should be banned from this forum altogether for being the dogs of hell/hindus of India.

 

[JohnWick]

Almost all of Bengalis can understand and speak it today though they call it Hindi.

We don't care about what do you speak...

Yes Urdu is not the only National Language of Pakistan. National Languages of Pakistan are Urdu Punjabi Sindhi Pushtu, Baluchi, Bravi, Kashmiri, Balti, Dari etc etc. Unfortunately our constitution recognize only Urdu as National Language, which is not right. In my view we should have Urdu and English as official languages while others as our National Languages

I never understood why Bangalies were so allergic to Urdu. In West Pakistan, Punjabi spoke Panjabi, Pathan Pashtu, Sindi Spoke Sindhi and Baluchi in Baluchistan. All these people who spoke different languages, needed a common medium to communicate with each other and thats why Urdu came about. Bangalis needed to learn Urdu in order to communicate with other ethnicities of the federation of Pakistan, who themselves got their own regional languages.

This issue , which has to be created, laid the foundation for the treason. And the gullible lot is still clueless and making films to highlight their own sheer stupidity.
