Ali just one observation though… i am punjabi and i know how punjabi urban families treat punjabi. they hate punjabi language, they are embarrassed of it, they punish their kids if they ever speak punjabi. they consider it an extremely backward language. am i wrong?

so you cannot say that punjabi was sacrificsed. Hell, no serious punjabi literature is there. Bangalis on other hand loved their language, were proud of it and had a huge association with it. By 71, language may not be a major issue but when urdu was imposed as language of paakistan it did create a lot of rift among banagalis. thx

Thats an honest statement from a Punjabi. much appreciated. Those who live in fool’s paradise should learn to respect their own and other’s languages to avoid creating any further rift among the communities.
