Re: Urdu as our national langauge
For most of the part, India has used its cultural diversification as a strength. Other than having English as one of the official language, India never shied away from the fact that so many people speak so many different languages. To this day, India is using language as a main tool to keep creating more states. On the other hand, we did foolish experiments like One Unit, and still are so much against creating more provinces.
I think the word Urdu came from Zuban-e-Urdu-e-Mualla, not from Rekhta. Rekhta means something else.
