Re: Urdu as our national langauge
Indeed Lahore Lahore aye. But it is still the city that truly makes you appreciate the idea of mixed heritage, and how beautiful it is. To this day, you won’t find any sort of certain ethnic specific areas in the city, people from all kinds of backgrounds have integrated so well into the unique local culture.
Anyway. There is should be absolutely no doubt that Pakistan needed a lingua franca, and there was no better option than selecting Urdu. Urdu as an official language makes full sense, it is the idea of national language that upset some.
I mean if the whole continent of Europe can have common lingual francc, why can’t multi-ethnic countries?
