Re: Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language
Close reading of Jinnah’s life suggest that he didn’t have much faith in any of his supposed successors. He figuratively was a one man army, and this is precisely what makes him such an extraordinary character.
In Pakistan, in placed where literacy rate is abdominally low, stirring emotions on the issue of race, religion and regionality is child’s play. Politics of xenophobia sells where people are made to feel afraid and endangered.
Credit must be given to India for sticking to English as another common lingua franca, as a result, India today is in a very good position to provide global workforce. You know they say in UK, the reason why Indian doctors tend to perform better than their Pakistani counterparts in passing UK entry exams is because their understanding of English language is much better. Unfortunately, all that excessive romanticism with languages and the demand to have textbooks in your mother tongue telling students how they are God’s gift to mother earth hasn’t proved to be very beneficial.
