Re: Teaching Urdu
Well, life will go on but you will rob them off what could have been easily passed on to them. And its not about saving the language, its about having an edge over others who can only speak one language. What if they need to go back home? What if things in US and UK aren’t so great for living or raising a family? From the looks of it, things are certainly headed that way, maybe not today, not in next 10 years but 20, 30, 50 years on? It will allow them to move freely without being stuck to English speaking countries. And if that isn’t a concern, what about passing your culture, your language on to your generation?
If you feel your kids don’t need to know their native language then thats the decision you make for yourself and your kids, sanu ki. humara tou kaam hai ke acha mashwara dena, log na samjhain tou un ki marzi, koe force tou hai nahi.
