Urdu as our national langauge

Re: Urdu as our national langauge

You are right on that. The point still remains valid that Urdu is the language that the highest percentage of population speaks and is the most diverse geographically in Pakistan, making it a better choice than say Punjabi or Sindhi. However, looking at this apparent anomaly as a manifestation of unfair political power of muhajirs is incorrect as they don’t have the political power. It is the Punjabi elite that have the political power and it is because of their preference of Urdu over Punjabi that Urdu is the national language.
