After all this rigmarole, I still fail to understand one thing…the title of the thread specifically says “born to Pakistani parents but cannot read urdu” …for those of us born and raised abroad and can **speak **and understand Urdu fluently, but cannot read or write it, why is that bad? And same for the next generations…they can and will learn to speak Urdu, but for those parents who do not see the need to go the extra step and teach them to read and write Urdu, is that really such a big deal?

not a bad thing it all… what is being ‘debated/criticized’ is the rationale given or the stated reasoning… everything in life comes down to personal preferences…and it doesn’t really reflect badly on you if you just say it like it is… personal preference… when you give reasons/justifications…they will be debated upon and criticized and commented on etc etc…
