Everyone has different priorities and passions (and sometimes as we come of age, we define ourselves by distancing ourselves from the priorities and passions of the previous generation, in order to figure out who we are, as separate from our parents/families, etc), and so I think it is understandable if someone doesn’t make learning to read Urdu a priority. What I don’t understand is being opposed to learning it at all (or anything for that matter). Willful ignorance is problematic. But being focused/dedicated elsewhere is not.

this certainly highlights a greater underlying problem, which IMO should be addressed asap.
