Re: Arabification of Pakistan and Pakistani culture:
I remember a person in another forum that was basically writing posters’ name in arabic and surprise, surprise, there was a ‘p’ sound with the three dots below like in urdu.
Disclaimer: He was from UAE, so perhaps it was persian / urdu influence on their arabic since these are the biggest communities there.
I remember Shamraz recently opened up a thread about english to be replaced by urdu as official language. It looked like that sharifs came up on their own with this initiative, but after reading more about it, it was justice khwaja who asked the govt for a reply on what it is doing for implementing urdu federally in Pakistan and local languages in the provinces: I guess the plaintiff was worried about punjabi’s status in Punjab as the provincial govt was asked what it was doing for implementing punjabi and look at balochistan’s efforts in that regard.
For people to learn and appreciate their culture and/or Pakistaniyat, Pakistan would have to get serious about its education system. There are tiers of education systems where it starts with english medium then urdu medium and then the most third class education be it sindhi, pashto or balochi? medium. But we are too busy with blasphemy bs and who fasted and prayed on a certain day.
