i think teaching our ancestral language to kid may be important for us but NOT for the kids. they will hardly speak among themselves. besides, a few generations down the road, the children of overseas Desis will have NO contact with back home, let alone interacting with them in a common language.

i will NOT force my children to speak Urdu because i see no use for them. i would rather teach them Arabic to help them in understanding their religion better.

You do realise that there are a million and one uses for a language other than “communicating with someone back home”

Can’t you see how shortsighted that is?
