So ironic. At 3:00 , Jinnah declaring in English to a Bangla speaking audience that Urdu will be the state language.
@Joy originally jinnah freed Bangladesh in part 1 then mujeeb ur rehman
@@insane_cricshorts free how first killing them in partition then by army
@@insane_cricshorts then why they denied population exchange? Don't be in denial. East Bengal was a kind of free ka mal
And they lapped it up!
@@insane_cricshorts The Bangalees freed themselves in 1947 and we propped up Jinnah as one of the faces of it, he was nothing more
Pakistan studies: urdu was made national language as a symbol of national unity
*East Pakistan left the chat*
East pakistan also used Urdu like their own language along with Bengali
But they were Tricked and divided by some people who hated both West and East pakistan

Bangladeshi now will never go with Pakistan
And what sazish ?
Pakistanis fought with bengalis and india like good neighbors helped them .
@@DrStrange234 lol.. tricked and divided by who?? Mujib??
Dude.. bangladesh funded most of infra projects in Pakistan.. including the capital city Islamabad. And when it came time to give them power, Bhutto declined..
Bangladeshis are fortunate to have left Pakistan 50 years ago. Today they have zero wars, more income & more HDI than Pakistan.. while Pakistan is still going to IMF every year..
@@DrStrange234 Bengalis never had much affection for urdu 😂.. the north Indian states are part of Hindi/urdu belt.. rest of us live our mother tongues
@@DrStrange234 I wonder how a TPE listener can be so delusional
Even the announcement that Udru will be national language was not made in Urdu. 😮
😂😂🤣👍👍
Jinnah couldn't speak Urdu himself. He died soon after, so he didn't even have to go through the pain of learning a new language.
Best one boss🔥❤
😂😂😂😂
Hypo on its peak✌️😂
Sidhi language is also recognized as 15th language of Indian 22 languages.
Then why Bhojpuri, Marwari, Bhil, Gondi, Kumaoni, Gharwali, Braj, Awadhi, Bundeli, Bagheli, Powari, Chattisgarhi, Santali, Tulu, Kodava, Angika, Bhajika, Halbi, Haryanvi, Hadaoti, Shekhawati, Mewari, Ahirwati and more than 1,600 languages not recognized in their constitution despite them being spoken by tens of millions of people in India? Indian constitution only recognizes 22 languages in their 8th schedule. Its a complete joke that India recognizes all its indigenous languages. He forgot to mention that Hindi was also imposed in India during the early days and 100s of people died in the riots in the Madras province of South India. Hindi is still imposed in much of North India till to this day on the expense of many native languages of North India that I just mentioned.
@@Lyallpuriya those language don't have their scriptures
@@rohitrohra Oh really. You really think that Bihari languages (Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, Bhajika, Angika, etc.) don't have their own scripts? All these languages were written in numerous scripts like Kaithi and Tirhuta before the Hindu-supremacist Indian government imposed Hindi on Bihari people. The same is the case with Rajasthani languages. They were all written in their own native scripts and have a long and beautiful literary tradition much older and much better than Hindi.
@@Lyallpuriya Don't make fake narrative. Bhojpuri has not any scripture. Angika, bajhika r not language it is just distortion of maithili. Yes maithili has definitely scripture being a maithil my self I can say u maithili and hindi both r ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Bujhal hau pakistani bhai.
@@Lyallpuriya i am from Bihar here and I know about languages that you are talking about. And what are you saying is false, bhojpuri and Maithili don't have any script nor much literature. They aren't proper languages. They are broken Hindi different types of Hindi/dialect.
I'm from Mansehra (KPK) and most people speak Hindko and Gojri language. It's painful to see my elders not teaching these rich languages to their children, causing rich geological, biological and medicinal vocabulary going extinct.
Now I've started to transcribe rare words in my diary to preserve them and I'm optimistic to think that my struggle will at least change the preception of my people that their languages are not backward and rustic languages but have a rich culture and history and knowledge.
Excellent video as always,our parents migrated during partition from Bahawalpur to indian Punjab,and they bring with them the Saraiki language and even our kids still speak it more comfortably and fluently at home
Thank you!
@@ThePakistanExperience stupid

I am from UP and my mother tongue is Hindi (Khariboli/Kauravi dialect of western UP). There is decent population of Punjabis in my hometown and also through songs, I know Punjabi. Haryana is not far from my place, so i know Haryanvi too. I studied English at school, went to Maharashtra for MBBS, so i know Marathi as well. In my college, many of my friends were Gujarati, so i can manage some Gujarati as well. Now, i have been in Chennai for around 5 months for my Post graduation, i am slowly learning Tamil to interact with patients.
So, overall i know Hindi, English, Haryanvi, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil with variable degree of proficiencies.

Almost like its the national language and those are needed for a reason.
Urdu never was our language 😢
Long live sindhi ❤️
Armaan … Sindhi is recognised in India 😂😂
@@AjitJoshi686 yes but the state was given to pakistan, so our sindhi Hindus here were spread across the world like salt in all dishes, but Sindhis across the world have become developed and moved beyond any hate.

Sindhi is great language but nothing compares to Urdu
@@DrStrange234 armaan is also a sindhi word. It is also a persian and arabic word.
@@DrStrange234 Armaan is Persian origin.
Urdu was Born in Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh in India and Urdu is a Recognised Official Language of India, Pakistanis Are free to Speak Urdu in a Punjabi or sindhi Accent we don't have any problem But it's a Fact that Urdu is an Indian Language ,
Urdu cannot be a Pakistani Language
Same way Mexicans Speaks Spanish is not a Maxican language it's Spanish which has come from Spain
Sorry Urdu is a Muslim and Pakistani language
@@apurvabhide2860 Just like Tibetan is a Buddhist language and Spanish a Christian Catholic language?
Since when did inanimate languages become religiously defined?
I'm sorry, but are you stupid? Urdu might've originated there, yes, but that is because 1) Pakistan literally did not exist yet and 2) the MUSLIM Urdu speakers lived there. They then migrated to Pakistan, so yes, Urdu is and has always been a pakistani language. We did not simply adopt it, we *invented* it. Urdu was an identity for Indian Muslims. Claim Hindi if you want to claim a language, why are you lot so obssessed with us?
Abay ollo k patthay! Phir teray baap daada Faiz o Iqbal sahir o Hafiz jallendhari na pakistan ki creation sa pehlay Urdu quon adopt ki? Tum loug apnay bachchoun sa Urdu ma quon baat krtay ho? Urdu sa nafrat ha tu urdu ka peecha chouwrh du!!
When i went out of karachi, i never saw a single guy speaking urdu with the same accent, having the same stereotypes, i might disagree that urdu is being imposed on pakistani people.
Yes it has. Both Urdu and English are imposed on our people. Killing the flourishing our native languages, their vocabulary and centuries old knowledge.
I live in the Maharashtra state and in most of the schools we are taught English, Hindi and Marathi. We are taught to communicate with the whole world while also keeping our own culture and language alive.
Tumchi??
The problem of Urdu wouldn't be there if there was no Pakistan. The imposition of Urdu as a national language is not only the Urdu speaking populace's fault. The Punjabi elite spoke and wrote this language and they wholeheartedly supported this imposition. The Punjabis are in the majority and they impose their will in different matters all the time. They never stood up for their language and literature of this language as it didn't suit their lifestyle.
Hence the punjabis of pakistan are most confused people with low self esteem. Which will cost them heavily, eventually.
We punjabis, in India, fought for our mother tongue.That is our identity.
True Mohtarma....
@@durgeshsingh5220
Dont use urdu my brother
We must end this language at all cost and help Pakistanis embrace their past .
Pakistanis punjabis must return to their roots
Come back our pujabis ❤
@A A True!
Another factor--binds the identity of being muslims of subcontinent.
I once had a talk with kashmiri(indian)muslim, who said and i quote ''I am really worried about my children, who after schooling went to delhi, for further studies.They never had the time to learn proper urdu in an elite school(not in kashmir), and now only english''.
To which I asked, how does it matter? Don't her kids know kashmiri? She looked at me in wonder and then thoughtfully.
I mean really???
I don't know why people hate Urdu .
Punjabi people and many poets used Urdu and farsi for poetry and for communication to people of different background.
The creators of Pakistan thought themselves as successors of Delhi Sultanate. They did not get Delhi so they took the language which is spoken from Delhi to Lucknow. Shah Waliullah was born in Muzaffarnagar and died in Delhi, Galib was born in Agra and died in Delhi. But their language is Pakistani 😂😂😂😂. Of course The Shah was scholar of Arabic and Persian but his mother tongue was Urdu and he used to call himself Dehlawi.
This is our internal matter. Why are you burning from Muslims.
They never wanted Delhi. The creator of Pakistan are in India.
Delhi language is Urdu very few usually I heard punjabi more than Urdu
@@gulrezrana3710 that is because post partition Punjabis from west Pakistan migrated & Urdu speaking migrated to then west Pakistan. Delhi also has migrants from East Pakistan which is CR Park. Curiously the Punjabi migrants used to call their mother tongue as Hindi, so in 1980s Bangla was no 2 language at Delhi. Lucknow also had it share of migrants but much less than Delhi so Urdu remained prevalent.
@@AjitJoshi686 actually Urdu was imposed with out the peoples will
These series is ❤. The graphics, narration and how it all comes together is just perfect! Thanks for this Shehzad.
❤❤❤
I am so grateful to our forefathers that actually made Urdu the National Language of Pakistan. Not only has made this Pakistan integrate better but just the shear Beauty of this Language; oh man what can I say. Speaking Urdu doesn't mean you have to abandon your other mother languages but no Language in the entire Sub-Continent can match the glory of the language of Mughal Darbar. Just like French is considered the posh language of west, Urdu is the French of indian region. The language of Love, Poetry and Indian Royality.
اردو ہے جس کا نام ہمیں جانتے ہیں داغ
سارے جہاں میں دھوم ہماری زباں کی ہے
Bhai koi ek lafz aisa bata jo urdu ka apna originated ho? aur to kya sab zabanein mghatya aur neech hain agar urdu koi waqai asmani zaban hai.
@@safeeruttero786 urdu is the evolution of old hindustani language, it mixed many of the northern Indian languages with persian arabic turkish and many others. It resulted in giving the northern indian languages this royal touch of middle eastern languages. Moreover the work done for translation of Islamic Holy Books to Urdu gave it the the status of Muslim language of india but its secular use is also well preserved. And urdu is not an Asmani language but its definite status as the National language of Pakistan has surely helped in integrating Pakistan as a Nation, we can go anywhere in Pakistan and never have to think about the language problem. Its something we can appreciate when our country has so much problems urdu has at-least only helped in this regard. Also as a I wrote before we don’t need to abandon other native language as urdu is derived from them and their is a lot of common vocabulary among urdu and native languages.
@@BrokenSoldier1515 Urdua gave us Bangladesh, clearly not uniting us. Translation of Islamic books? Sindhi was the first language into which Holy Quran was translated. So you answered yourself that it is not itself a language but a mixture of other languages without its original vocabulary. What do you mean by Royal Touch? Invader's touch, right?
@@safeeruttero786Bengali is an eastern indian language which eventual led to this clash, even today if you see in india there is still clash of languages of north india with south and eastern languages. Bangladesh topic requires much more debate than just urdu, moreover bengali got eventual national language status, it was more about political landscape of that time. Sindh was of course the gate of Islam for india but the eventual work done by urdu; you cannot compare it with any other language, still Sufia Karam and other Ulema also used persian and their own languages, this exact usage of mixture was what led to evolution of hindustani to urdu. Also I dont know what “asli alfaaz” are you talking about; all the languages today are somehow evolution of an old language, even the language we are discussing in “English” it also evolution of an old english which itself was a mixture of north germanic languages. Invaders🤓🤓 dont know what are you talking about, the very first mughal kings do descended from todays region of Afghanistan but Afghanistan itself is a mixture of india persi and central asia, it can be considered an extension of hindustan, maybe not an extension but what is the boundary of india, it is just like defining boundary of europe. And no Mughal dynasty was not an outsider, they are an Indian dynasty and all their lineage is indian. In your sense no one is pure indian today because india saw a lot of migration and mixing with the native indians, we cannot even tell who the native Indians were. They lived I think if I am not wrong like 6000 yeras before so no one knows about them, even the indus valley people where did they come from? A theory says africa as indian sub-continent drifted from africa, so we all are Africans
@@BrokenSoldier1515 What work has been done by Urdu I think you are unaware of pre-urdu/Mughal history, and yes Bangladesh wasn't just the fault of Urdu but still, Urdu give this topic a fire and even Bengalis accept that they fought for the Bengali language. Islam came in the 7th century Urdu is nearly 300-400 years old so what just Urdu and Islam in India have to take with each other? Yes there is a North-South language problem in India but they are living happily and didn't get separated because Hindi isn't Imposed on South Indians. And Mughals (BABUR) came from samarkand, they have direct relationship with Genghis Khan in Mangolia.
Fun Fact: Even Sindhi, Kashmiri, Bangla and Urdu are Official Languages of India. There is so much wrong with Pakistan that I am glad My forefathers did not Ended up that side of the Border.
They are official only in their state governments along with English and Hindi used to communicate with the centre
English is the official language of India.
In Pakistan also many languages are official language category, urdu is a national language and India doesn't have one
@@vinsin328 There is a correction. English is one of the 22 official languages of India.
English and Hindi is the only official language of india....

Fisrt line was thought of by Muslim league in 1906

My ancestors migrated from jhang to east Punjab and that was the dialect of Punjabi that was spoken by my grandparents, but it slowly died off unfortunately. Now if I ever wanna hear it I have to look up Pakistani videos by native jhangi speakers. So I’m glad it’s still spoken in Pakistan and Urdu imposition hasn’t killed it.
You will find south indian muslim speaks Urdu instead of local language eg Hyderabad has telegu language. Such is the desire to prove thier Arabic lineage.
It is only in karnataka and Hyderabad.. Kerela and tamil muslim do not speak urdu
Andhra lo ekkada maatladtaaru ra? Akkada muslims kooda telugu eh maatladataaru, maa turaka friends evarki urdu raadhu. Generalize cheyyodhu
They speak Urdu because they generally hail from North India or are converted and assimilated into a North Indian origin Muslim community.
And that's make them different from extreme southern muslims, who for some even predate the Urdu language genesis !
In Tamilnad, you have both, and both are distinguished by that origin fact. People of North Indian or Deccan Sultanates extract tend to have Urdu as a mother tongue, whereas those from earlier Muslim communities or converted and assimilated by them tend to have Tamil or Malayalam as mother tongues.
There is even a Pathan community in the Northern half of Tamilnad, claiming Pakhtun ancestry ! They are Urdu native speakers.
But yes, Urdu used to be a statue maker in some areas at some times and among certain people.
Urdu is not Arabic. Urdu was in south before Hindi and was used as a lingua franca
@@Abdullah-uv9nk ok 😂😂😂 so much for.....hume gaddar kyu kaha jaata hai..
Southern states of india protested against hindi as official language. Therefore, English was adopted as official language as well. Even today hindi is taught as a subject in whole India, not all subjects but just one single subject for few years in school. Indian leadership at the independence quelled the problem of imposing a language in 1950s n 60s. Pakistan should have learnt from it.
It's Because India has a True democracy.
Discussions, Consultations, Debates take place before deciding upon something.
Whereas in Paksitan, whatever the Army General says becomes the law.
If Army General decides that Arabic will be the national language of Pak, then it will be done.
So they were ok with a completely foreign colonial language such as English and not with a language such as Hindi?? That’s quite the shame I think
@@wkhan5 that's the issue.. for the rest of us.. Hindi or Urdu are also foreign.. we'd rather learn lingua franca of the current world order i.e. English and our mother tongues e.g. Marathi, Tamil, Telugu etc.
Hindi comes 3rd in the Peking order.
@@pm6127 as I said before- that is a real shame indeed
@@wkhan5 and what will we get with Hindi imposition ? You already saw how Pakistan lost 1971 civil war.
Both India and Pakistan are vastly diverse countries, and you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT impose any language in such a diverse country.
Stop with your idiotic thoughts.
I speak 3 languages, English in office, Hindi in public and Malvi at home and with relatives. That's how it works in India, we value all our languages. We have to balance all in order to make sure our Mother tongue doesn't get extinct.
That's the way to do it
@@ThePakistanExperience You can follow to 😄😄
Same here.. And since I studied for a while in Tamil Nadu, I can speak in 4 languages(but not fluently as I would like though) - Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Hindi
@@rkk15 same here 4 language 👍 and it may sound very confusing or difficult for non Indians but it's very natural for us
most of the indian speaks 3 lang some people think that all north , east , west indians mother tongue is hindi , no not at all we all have our mother tongue we learn hindi coz most of india understands it and to become social . english , mother tongue and hindi are our lang. we love hindi and our mother tongue both we love hindi and our mother tongue .
2500 years ago when Panini was compiling the Sanskrit grammar, he already acknowledged the language variety in India and that is why for thousands of years, all Indian dynasties and empires had both their own language and Sanskrit going hand in hand. All of the languages survived. This is what happens when a mindset alien to the land decides on these stuff.
Every language is beautiful in its own way. Thank you for the brilliant show. And a very bold one. You are doing great work. All the best to you.
P.S. As modern studies have found out that best results are achieved if kid is taught in his mother tongue.
I have Sindhi Hindu Friends in India.
They are quite intelligent, do well at academics and are generally from wealthy business familes.
Yep. most sindhis in india are traders who live in formerly refugee towns.. pretty rich & insulated community.. with most surnames ending in 'Ni' e.g. advani, pehlani, nilani
Im sindhi, i do cry the over a partition of our homeland sindh. The real heros the real owners of sindh we got migrated in India. We r happy to be Indian.
We started from very scratch.
We came in india without any recognition.
But Muslims came in pakistan with great recognition but still they call themselves mohajirs and don't accept the being sindhis after living in sindh from 76years
Yeah sindhi people are really great I recently married to a sindhi girl, and she converted to Islam and she so lovely I can't tell
@@notofyourneed5728 she didn't convert , you Brainwashed her into converting Islam.
@@notofyourneed5728 ye tumlog hr kisi ko convert karne ke chakkar me q rahte ho bhailog😂
The imposition was incredibly important and useful - allows various ethnicities to communicate with each other through a common medium, Urdu. This model works in Singapore, China and many other countries, sometimes "imposition" is needed for nation building in various areas
Also India is united because of English as the national language - that's the common medium! And the idea that Urdu is not spoken widely in Pakistan - that's just not true, it is widely understood across the country
@@absan415 Bro the only sane comment I have seen so far, and that too from a fellow Pakistani. I totally agree with you, like it's no point to REVERSE things after 75 years even when urdu itself is dying here. And lastly it's really disturbing that this channel has been infested with Indians because of a notorious video with titles relating to that country. And now they are here to impose each and every opinion their way.
@@absan415 india is not united because of English you idiot, india is united because of Hindi and all the regional languages including the dialects .
Even though we use Hindi as a link language ( minus south) but that doesn’t mean we care less about our regional language and mother tongue . We have a three language system , Hindi , English and regional language.
@@huzifavesos you didn't even understand the video. It's not an attack on Urdu. It's just saying that provinces should have had their own languages in the educational system with local laws and offices. Regional languages should be taught and be mandatory. Sign boards of Punjabi pashto etc should be placed.
@@biggdaddyy Nobody cares for your hindi in non-hindi speaking states.
Some of the self hating morons in north might have accepted that being hindu is equal to hindi, just like pakistan=urdu.
And you are showing them, they are correct, urdu being connecting link is right.
You can partially impose languages in india(coz large portion of india refuse to speak in hindi, rather prefer english), but you can never unite them culturally. That is thousand of years of differences.
Growing up and almost till my early 20s I used to think that Hindi is the only National for India. However, now wiser and well travelled, i accept my earlier view of a National Language was flawed and narrow minded.
I now regret to have not learned Tamil, Marathi, or Punjabi when I had the chance!
Indias only strength is accepting and celebrating its diversity!
Well done!
@@ThePakistanExperience No, well done you for having such difficult conversations and challenging the status quo! Jon Stewart would be proud of you! I do not find many in India hosting such difficult conversations.
Pretty good analysis of the language issue. Found the last part by Prof. Manan quite educational.
Thank you!
What a great video! Kamal, loved it ❤
Hope you had a great EID.

Bhai totally relatable our youth can barely write a complete paragragh in Urdu hence can't even spell Complete Urdu alphabets
Shehzad, Great video. I'm south Indian. In our schools we are given the option to select three languages. Many learn their native language as the first, English as the second and Hindi as the third. Fluency in speaking Hindi suffers as it's the third, but it helps learn and stay connected with North India.
Interesting that Hindi is the third, the thing is flipped in Pakistan where Urdu becomes first, English as the second and the mother tongue third, or not at all.
@@ThePakistanExperience In CBSE and ICSE (Central boards of education), you can choose any of the scheduled Indian languages or foreign languages as your 2nd and 3rd language even if the school does not offer it. If the school does not offer a language, during the registration process for the boards , a student can pick any language as 2nd and 3rd language and then study for those exams privately.
The State Boards prioritize their own language. In English medium state boards, English is the default, the 2nd language is the State language with Hindi usually being the 3rd language.
Another unique thing, let me tell you is that we have Sindhi colleges in Bombay. They were established by wealthy Sindhis and they have linguistic quotas for Sindhi students. Being a Sindhi myself, I was in one such college for 11th and 12th. I got in without the quota but the Sindhi students who got admission through the quota had Sindhi as a supplementary subject. Only 2 classes a week as opposed to 5 classes for all other subjects. I never got to learn to read and write in Sindhi and today even I myself regret it. I had the option of attending those classes but never cashed in on it. What's more is these are all partially State-funded colleges.
@Football-Pundit this much hate for north India and hindi. Wow!
@@sleepyhead0139 it isn't hate, it is their choice not to learn hindi. I've spoken to many tamilians, an overwhelming majority of them say that hindi isn't the problem, imposition is the problem. We as north Indians had the privilege to learn it cause hindi has a great degree of commonality with our languages (such as Awadhi, Bundeli, Braj, maithili, etc) but south Indian languages come from completely different language family. Imagine someone forcing a language like Chinese, a language of completely different language family , on us.
Now from modi governments new education policy,we can choose third language whichever we want.
I am a non Tulu mother tongue guy in a Tulu region of Karnataka,i would have loved to learn Tulu as my third language.
It was wonderful that you mentioned Amrita Pritam ...(just shows the depth of your education level)... I actually studied in college with her grand daughter!!!
Wow. We should do a poetry series.

I am happy you showed the correct map of India, being a Pakistani that was very brave of you😅
Editor kee mistake
what does happiness do. its not reality.
LOC will always be defacto international border.
As an Indian, one can never visit Gilgit and Skardu like one does Gulmarg and Srinagar.
Both Pakistan and China has Kashmir too.
Better accept it sooner or later.
day dreaming with Ajit Dovel of taking back Aksai Chin is futile.
This is a route of pseudo-nationalism in India.
Excellent video.
In India, for 70% of our provinces & 60% of the population the mother tongue is not Hindi ... and while from time to time the centre has tried to expand the use of Hindi, such attempts have been looked at with suspicion outside the Hindi-speaking areas. Well, from what I hear from you (and others) about what happened with Urdu in Pakistan, it appears that any Indian attempts to 'impose' Hindi have been extremely mild ... and am I thankful for that!
In India, basic literacy in all states & territories is in the local language, as is the medium of instruction for the 'masses'. Our education system has a '3-language formula' which allows the typical student to be exposed to English, the local language AND Hindi ... though other combinations are possible.

I never learned Urdu because my urdu teachers were absolute assholes & made me hate the language lol
Ha ha ha
My native language is hindko, it's understandable why alot of pakistanis are against urdu. It was difficult for my parents to understand when they went to school. But it is a good thing to have urdu and english as the national languages its easier to talk to people in the country with.
My ancestors were the great Kushans. They spoke Tocharian. It boils my blood that neither the mention of Kushan dynasty nor of Tocharian language was in my school textbooks.
Bro live in present, who ever your ancestors were that doesn't matter now, now only matters what are going to do for your future generations
Thats because your ancestors were poor kings. They lost and history forgot them😂.
@Aryan then unfollow ram and sita mythology and get a life
Such an eloquent narration. Well done brother!
Thank you!
Urdu and English should be the official languages, but regional languages should be recognised and should be taught at regional level. In my view Pakistan should have multiple official languages. It is unethical and disrespectful to let all languages and cultures of Pakistan die because of one language imposition.
I agree
It's never too late ever, to learn. 👍
@@ThePakistanExperience i disagree, language doesn't matter,if some languages disappear so what, ideology matters
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@user-vn5gy7ng3x languages develop ideologies. Languages develops a person's thinking. So yes it does matter. Language creates a culture.
I will give you an example. There is a words called "hikigumoru" which means a person who stays at home and doesn't comes out. Or the word "Isekai" which is a type of media where a person does and goes into another world. These words are in Japanese. These words were developed by their culture.
There is a language in Australia where the natives spoke in a language where there is no directional words meaning forward, left, right, behind. They use north, south, east, west. Physiologically there was a difference between them. They thought about things differently. You know when you tell someone to look at the left and then you say your other left yeah that confusion isn't their in those people. Their sense of direction is much better than ours.
So this colonialism mindset is just bad.

Yes but in school i was forced to learn sindhi, which i couldnt relate with.
Writing from India. I've been non stop watching podcasts by you and some of the podcasters in Pakistan. I feel sad in a way india might not have so many great ones. But I so agree with this video. I come from a South Indian state called Karnataka. The language is kannada and I'm glad it is not pushed down. It's older than Hindi or Urdu. India has tried to make Hindi the national language back in the 60s but thankfully failed as it was met with violent protests and suicides in non Hindi states. I can speak Hindi or English with a non kannada speaker so it serves the purpose.
Surprisingly Sindhi and Punjabi are official languages in India while Sindhi is not a majority in any state.
Also I feel so sad that Pakistan has forgotten its history and you have rightly mentioned Pakistan's history is way old and richer than post 712 AD. Majority of Indus valley civilization was in what is so called Pakistan today!
Bro your languages in south have rich history and literature even Sanskrit was based on Dravidian script but here in Pakistan it's not the case most of the languages are oral tribal languages even the current punjab province have multiple languages only the Central part of Punjab has the writing and the literature removing urdu would led a more chaotic situation since saraikis are protesting to have their own province which situated in south of punjab and North of punjab also had a different language called “Potgwari” spoken in pothwar region. Don't get fooled by Pakistan map it shows that it has four provinces but that's not the complete picture it has multiple ethnicities with thier languages and customs so please understand.
Originally Bangla was written in the same script as urdu and Arabic. They later changed it

I am GOB SMASHED that some people in Pakistan find Punjabi "foul". Like WTF ?!?!?!!!!! I am no fan of Punjabi rap but artists like Honey Singh were very popular in a non-Punjabi speaking region like Guwahati, Assam (I studied there for a while).
Most of these Punjabi singers are anti India and pro Khalistan
After all the arguments presented in the video I am still unable to understand how a country can get by without a lingua franca. Is it not possible to promote regional languages without criticizing the presence of a national language? When did Quade Azam say "don't promote your regional language"?

A nation carved out in the name of religion with multiple cultures is bound to fail. United India (Akhand Bharat in Hindi) is the only solution, whether it's 10 years from now or 100.
I am North Indian ❤ from Uttarpradesh I was born and brought up in ❤ Mumbai ❤. Marathi is the local language of Mumbai .Mumbai has a multicultural society yet Marathi is a must . Switching to another language changes people completely i was considered dumb student and very poor in basic communication because every student in my school speaks in their own mother in public but my mother was considered funny,stupid and sometimes inferior to others This really impacted my understanding about my own culture and look down to my self because this is how Bollywood portraits bhojpuri or avdhi speaking people thanks god thing are changing now but very slow still bihari speaking person is labour or illiterate, bhojpur,avdhi, purvanchal are not much celebrated in Mumbai society
I found little content and I hope this helps everyone to be under the importance of "Mother tongue"
Mother tongue plays a crucial role in the development and preservation of a culture's heritage. It is often the primary means through which a community expresses its values, traditions, and beliefs, and it serves as a repository of the community's history and cultural identity. The use and preservation of mother tongue are essential for passing down cultural knowledge from one generation to the next. It helps to maintain cultural diversity and ensure that each community's unique voice and perspective are heard and celebrated. Additionally, a strong connection to one's mother tongue can contribute to a sense of belonging and pride in one's heritage, leading to greater cultural appreciation and understanding.
Forcing a society to switch to another language instead of their mother tongue can have significant negative effects. It can lead to a loss of cultural identity and heritage, as the community's unique language and traditions are replaced by those of another culture. The loss of mother tongue can also make it difficult for individuals to express themselves fully, leading to a sense of alienation and disconnection from their community. In addition, language is closely tied to cognitive development and learning, so a sudden shift to a different language can lead to educational and developmental setbacks for children and adults alike. Overall, forcing a society to switch to another language can have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences that can impact both individuals and communities

I was introduced to Syed Muzammil through this podcast and now I can’t stop watching his videos! A gem indeed
Clear, concise & very interesting narration. It gives me a new perspective to look at our Indian languages & thought processes as well. In the south we fight against the imposition of Hindi as the lingua franca for pretty much the same reasons. Our ancestors never needed one lingua franca to trade, travel or live before. Why do we need one now? European countries who tried it haven't completely succeeded either. Smaller regional languages persist like Breton, Provencal, Basque, Welsh, Cornish, Scottish Gaelic etc. & some are even being revived in parts of France & England. So even the colonizers haven't succeeded fully in establishing their colonial idea of standardization with one lingua franca. Humans don't like uniformity. Everyone strives to be unique. Even if we all talk in one language today, in about 500 years, that will evolve to 10 different languages & 50 dialects.
🙌
Thankyou for highlighting the importance of diverse languages in Pakistan including our Sindhi. It has 52 alphabets. How it's vastness can be decreased forcefully or by imposition of Urdu which was non existent as anyone's mother tongue in newly formed Pakistan.

Can pak Sindhis and punjabis read and write in sindhi and punjabi?
@@atishamathur9014 I don't know it's answer to your question or not but to my knowledge, In Sindh it's a rich culture of reading and writing in Sindhi, diminished when religious extremism is propagated in rural areas of Sindh but it did not has that toxic impact as in Punjab. Sindhi Sufism, nationalism, Singing, Literature, even revolutionary poetry was at its peak in 60s,80s and 80s in times of GM Syed, Sheikh Ayaz, Rasool Bux Paleejo, Siraaj, Ali Mohamed Rashidi, Inaam Sheikh, Khaki joyo, Sobho Gianchandani, Noorulhuda Shah, Amar Jalil, Dr. Nabi Bux Baloch, Jaam Saaqi, Naseer memon and many many others. There were and are Sindhi newspapers, magazines when there was no in Punjabi in that times. Very later Punjab also has produced and there is rich Literature in Punjab as well but it's not as boomed and given importance by the people as in Sindh.
excellent question and very valid observations. Brilliant comment about being able to read sub titles for Kana Yaari (a great song in different Baloch dialects). I hope this video starts a debate and we recognise that the Pakistan identity is a mix of many cultures, its history does not start with the invasion of Mohammed Bin Qasim but goes thousands of years before that.

Lovely video.. crisps naration and clear justifications to arguments.
I have never forgot one sentence from the book 'India after Gandhi' that "language is stronger force than religion". The glaring example is creation of Bangladesh. Thankfully our forefathers (Indian) realised this too early and made federal (almost autonomous) states based on languages. This theory was further proven right few years after Independence. There was 'united Maharashtra' state which had two languages, Marathi and Gujarati. But eventually they couldn't go along well and divided in two states .. gujrat and Maharashtra. There is even violent history over ownership of Bombay (now Mumbai) which eventually went to Maharashtra. Today these both states are doing well using that opportunity as a lesson and cooperating with each other. Do you see any similarity here?
No?
Let me explain (which no one has ever said, but it's my own observation). Let's say United Maharashtra was united india. And Mumbai was Kashmir. There is violent history to India Pakistan partition too. Kashmir went to India and Pakistan both partly. But what India Pakistan couldn't do later is what Maharashtra and Gujrat did.
Coming back to language. Whenever I listen Bollywood songs on FM radio where they play random songs.. most of them are either Punjabi or have Punjabi words. I always joke that Bollywood assumes that all Indians know Punjabi. But i know very well that there are Marathi, gujrati or even South Indian words in the songs and this diversity is very well taken.
It's really sad that many Pakistani speak Punjabi but Devmukhi script is lost there. In contrast, it's thriving in India. Our currency has its denomination written in all the official languages including Urdu and Sanskrit.
To go into more details, even in Marathi (our mother tongue) , we have some sub-languages. Our is Ahirani. And you will be surprised that though it has limited literature, it is still taught in schools. Now a days it has thriving music industry also. This holds true to every part and state of India.
I wish one day you could visit India and i or someone like me could show you around.. not just tourist places but real flavour of India which is diversity.

Both common pakistani and Indian citizen do not realise that Urdu was originated in India only...It's our language.. We Indians had always denied this fact by saying that it was never our language and Pakistani govt imposed it on there citizen by saying that it's their language,where it was hardly spoken by few people...what an irony this is...
Urdu originated in Hindustan , all common citizens of South Asia know that even kids
Urdu is ❤ of Hindustani culture ethos
It is te to embrace this and leave out differences
Urdu wss meant to link all south Asians into one united empire before British ruined it .
Urdu originated with people. Urdu speaker migrated to Pakistan in Mostly in Sindh and Punjab.

Finally, someone made a video about it from Pakistan . Don't get me wrong, but by enforcing urdu, the Pakistani elite actually damaged the language itself inside pakistan. I heard that Muhajirs are good urdu speakers in pakistan, and Punjabis made Punjabi mixed urdu, which is really bad to hear 😅. Correct me if I am wrong?
I eard Pakistani Punjabis (commoners) speaking in Urdu, and yes, they seem to have a tick Punjabi accent sometimes, which is making doubt if they speak in Urdu or Punjabi.
There are many Punjabi who actually speak fluent Urdu.

Lots of Punjabis speak Urdu really well. Literacy rate is terrible hence you don’t see those outside rich urban areas speak Urdu or even their own mother tongue well.
@Abdullah-uv9nk ya ofcourse Faiz, and some other legendary urdu poets are Punjabis, but overall, large no of news anchors of pakistan speaks very mixed punjabi urdu on pakistani channels. Even cricketers & many celebrities of pakistan do the same. So, no offense to Punjabis, but this imposition of urdu actually contributed a lot to damage fluency among your natives.

Sir urdu up ki hai Hmare desh m hm apni mother tongue m baat krete hai jese ki jammu ki dogri kashmir ki kashmiri
I think we should create a new language from different languages spoken in every part of the country if we are so averse of Urdu as a national language. Other choice is English which is understood by even fewer. I grew up in different part of Punjab, Sind and visited Blochistan and NWFP/Pukhtunkhwa. Everywhere we communicated in Urdu and almost everywhere the local people understood Urdu.
Bruh the whole video is about recognizing regional languages not making up a new national language. Urdu can stay but accept and make it mandatory in school to learn regional language as well.
Thanks from India. Explained it so lucidly.

Urdu gives subcontinent converts supposedly identity different from Hindus ..Urdu in Persian script was thought to be a niche which belonged to subcontinent converts only ..forget pakistan Indian Kashmir too have Urdu as state language where it is hardly spoken by 3%

🙌
i m from India my mother tongue is Urdu , but i suggest u all pakistani to learn English as ur primary language , because English is more important in daily life than Urdu
Though Ambedkar and Co were very wise not to include Hindi as National lang in the constitution, I don't think Hindi wasn't imposed on Indian states. When india became independent, there were only national parties ruling all the states and they did not hesitate to ask everyone to speak in hindi. Hindi was made compulsory second language in schools until protests(infact violent protests) erupted in tamil nadu and other southern states. However, The whole north india almost lost their respective native languages but it didn't work in south because the languages there were once empire languages in those regions, thus the languages got too rooted in those respective societies to succumb to hindi imposition. In addition to that, anglophilia(only for language) emerged in southern coastlines during british rule. And there is no reason to sideline English for hindi due to lucrative opportunites abroad. Later, Regional parties became stronger by gradually sidelining national parties in respecitve states. Bollywood today doesn't have a market in south because Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam has stronger Pop movie cultures in their own languages that there is no space for hindi movies to get in. However, We've all already swept by english and sooner or later all our languages die eventually.
In your last sentence you have negated your own thesis. In every country a lingua franca is needed because regional languages can only help regionally. No point in detesting a common language.
@@SayVeritatis Iam not making a statement in the first place. Iam just explaining why hindi couldn't make it in the south as English had already became very established there atleast among the elites and middle class. Coming to lingua france part, the parties that come to contact( whether it is traders, or labourers from different languages) will eventually learn languages that their bosses speak whether it's hindi or telugu or tamil.
In a vast country like india, lingua franco concept can't sustain. The current official language concept is running well.
Pakistan has. Language of India Urdu.
Religion of Saudis. Islam.
Culture of India.
Land of Vedas, where the four ved were written.
It has nothing of it's own.
Even the surnames are Sikh and Hindus.
Same can be said for Americans. Language of the Brits, land of native americans, religion of levant. Language does not belong to a region, it belongs to the people who speak and understand it. Religion does not belong to a land, but the one who believes in it. And as far is culture is concerned, we are punjabis, sindhis, baltis, baloch, pakhtoon, urdu speaking. The culture we follow is not yours to claim. And land of the vedas? What an insightful criteria for you to determine the ownership of a land. Its all ours.
