‘Vishvas’: A word that threatens Pakistan

. .
The Urdu speaking people who migrated from India, by default spoke Urdu - the name Urdu Speaking says it all. Many of those who migrated from India and not only Urdu specking populace, and also those who populated areas which were included in Pakistan, in early days, could read, write and speak Hindi. Not many now.

Mughals did not call Hindi as Urdu.

Urdu, is a derivative of Turkish word Ordu, which means Army or Lashkar. At certain stages, Urdu was also known as Lashkari language. As the Muslim Armies included soldiers from different hues and spoke different languages, a need for a common language was necessitated. It thus emerged as a common language and at certain time, a bit of Khariboli dialect also became part of it. Even now, in the modern format, Urdu includes over 7000 common Turkish words. It also have words from Persian, Pashto, Arabic etc.

Sab kuch sirf tumhara ho gaya IVC bhi or Urdu zabaan bhi. Kya logic hai. :angry:

Go to old town Lahore, there are still places where Hindi is written on the walls...

Some Sikhs also use it.

As someone said up there, due to the IVC starting up in Pak, we are the ultimate copyright holders of all things India. If God ever arbitrates a patent case between us, we'd win the legal argument.

Obviously, when Pakistan was not there, Lahore had a sizable Hindu and Sikh population and those old structures where they lived had quotes of their scriptures. How many Pakistanis read and write Hindi now - may be almost zilch.

The Sikhs in Pakistan read and write Gurmukhi which seemingly for those who don't know, looks like Hindi - it is not. Their holy book is written in Gurmukhi, that is why they use it in Pakistan.

The IVC has its origins in Mehrgarh in Balochistan (7000 BCE to c. 2500 BCE) and more famously Harappa (3000-1500 BC).

The language Harappan people used has not been deciphered even to this date.

The Hindu Holy Book, Rig Veda and subsequent scriptures were written is Sanskrit and not Hindi. Evolution of Hindi is rather recent in history.

We are copy write holders of IVC. And I have said it so many times over here that we Pakistanis are the scions of and holders of the cradle of Indus Valley Civilization. And yes, we would win the legal argument.

Urdu also originated from the IVC area and Pakistan. We still don't know what language our ancestors spoke in Harappa, in IVC of the time.

The religion of people of IVC during Harappan era is not known - however, the religion of IVC was Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and now pre-dominantly Muslim. Majority of the people are the original occupants of this area.

I am proud of it.

But, I am also not Indian, because I am a Pakistani.

haan na .... tumhara kya masla hai.

It's not important that he used a Hindi word, it's important that as the PM of Pakistan, he is unable to speak the national language properly. I am quite well versed in a number of regional and international languages but when speaking in Urdu, I try my utmost to deliver the entire dialogue in pure and unadulterated Urdu, in respect to the national language.

Definition of proper can change - Urdu was constructed by taking the pre-Islamic Khadi Boli dialect (which was based on Sanskrit) and replacing some of the original words with loan words from Persian and Arabic.

Nope. You are wrong.

It is understandable, given that Urdu is not a native language of the area now known as Pakistan.

This also is the most remarkable thing.

Though Urdu was not spoken as a mother tongue in this area, it originated from this area.

Now, 65 years after the creation of Pakistan, this is the lingua franca of Pakistan and is understood and is spoken in close to 99% Pakistan.

well urdu is the language you speak anywhere in pakistan they will understand its like a common language in with theseas of other languages :p:P:p:P:P

i dont know about vishwas but what freaks me out is that the court trusted this guy vishwas no vishwas dont trust this guy have him sit with a paper and pen and have him write the letter there and now you cant trust these guys:p:P

Nothing wrong if he used this word...Urdu did not fall from sky it is mixture of sanskrit,persian,arabic etc..so one can never say vishwas is only sanskrit or hindi word..Urdu already used many sanskrit/hindi words..

A language that does not add to its vocabulary sooner or later dies...

Nope. You are wrong.

He is 100% right..the syntax we use in Urdu is neither arabic nor persian it is 100% sanskrit based.
