hmmm i don't agree with this. promoting local language and heritage is all good, but there are other better forums for this. Reducing the effectiveness of a National Identity document is not the right way to persist the right name of oneself or their village/ town
but anyway, not a big deal. i'm out
If your basic identity doesn't cater for your proper identification, then no other forum could do that for you IMO.
I'm also out of this discussion now. I have said what I want to say and OP have got point of view from a stakeholder :D
And BTW, the people in rural Sindh you are referreing to are unable to read and write EVERY language, I bet they can't read the card even if it is written in Sindhi.
I'll never ever accept that not knowing Urdu is illiteracy.
Let me respectfully clarify, this was answer to this:
Have you ever been to rural Sindh. do you know there still exist a generation which can only speak one language and i.e. Sindhi.
Speaking one language does not mean they can read or write in that language as well. So the base of your argument is false that since they can only speak Sindhi, they should get ID cards in Sindhi. I would like to understand, how would it help those people to have the card in Sindhi, if they can not read it?
And most importantly, I never ever called them illetrate. To suggest to educate people does not mean suggesting they are illetrate.
So lets just call it a misunderstanding and move on.

ok bro move on. :)
Its not a big issue, we have our own reason to have ID cards in Sindhi. Not a big deal. We don't impose our language on others and don't want others to do the same on us. Jeo and jeene do.
who said Urdu is a foreign language? How declaring Urdu as national language confiscate other language right to give representation and identity to the people who speak that language.
Its not a big issue. The fact is Urdu and Islam both have been made fragile ( ihtiyat se sheesha hai) in Pakistan, which got affected by small things. Keep Urdu as national language, but don't try to make something divine which create resentment like East Pakistan.
Sindhi people never hated Urdu as a language, almost all famous Sindhi writers wrote in Urdu and promoted it as a language. be it Shaikh Ayaz, Amar Jalil, Noor ul Huda Shah, everyone owned it, because they didn't consider it as an alien language. The point here is just not afraid of local languages, if they will prosper Urdu will also prosper, because Urdu got a capability to adapt vocabulary and new words from all the languages.
ji Sindhiyon ko kisi language se masla nahin.. bus unhe koi inferiority complex nahin :)
Haan agar koi complex nahi to ID card Sindhi mein kyun bana rhay hai .......Na Punjabi aisa krte hai na Pakhtooni na baloochi to complex kisay hua phr :D
hairat hai, Waleed you are asking me these questions. Don't you know me. Bring any post I posted against Punjabi or anyother language. Just talking for my language, doesn't make me biased against other languages.
One may agree or disagree with my point of view, but straight away asking such questions ' masla hai?' surprised me.
