Re: can urdu be our national language?
I'm not sure that one wing lost, just because of the language. But i don't think Urdu should be the national language of Pakistan, since Urdu is the language of a small minority and not viable option looking at cultural variations of peoples of Pakistan.
The major regional languages(Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto and Balochi) should be given the status of national languages, because those are the languages which truly represent the people who live in this country.
