Sindhi Language on Identity Card

Re: Sindhi Language on Identity Card

@Aceones

just a question, what is the litmus test to judge that someone really owns their language or not?
if its having ID card in that language, then which one? local or regional?
if by having ID card in local language we own it, does this make us disown national language?
put it other way, having ID card in National Language makes not own our local language?

see the built in complexity of this argument? my point is having ID card in either local or regional language is no big deal, both are fine as far as “owning” a language or lack of it, however for logical reasons drawback of having ID card in a language which is not understood by majority outweighs its benefits.

however, those who do not tend to travel ever, or don’t expect anyone ever to need to know them by their ID card, its equal for them to have this document in Urdu, sindhi, baloch, farsi, arabi or even african for that matter.

owning language means knowing it, speaking it, using it without any hesitation. no more complication and need of litmus paper test.

I don’t find people having CNIC in Sindhi traveling in Pakistan faced any problem. My own cousins work in Islamabad having id card in Sindhi. No big issue for them. I don’t have any issue if someone opt to have id card in Sindhi / Urdu or anyother language.
