Farid bhai,
assalam-alikum,
Tell me what percentage of pakistan speaks Urdu vs punjabi ( I am willing to even exclue the likes of saraiki)? the fact of the matter is that most of the population in newly formed pakistan was argarian and illeterate at the time of partition. So, this so-called newly formed “ruling” class which comprised of low-class clerks from N. India fooled the locals… Quaid did not have much idea about what will happen next cuz he was fighting disease plus he had given the mantle to that chor indian - liaqat. The fact that bengalis refused to speak is a sheer proof how wrong our policy makers where. We need to have a similar movement to overthrow urdu after nearly 35 years..
