isnt this a political subject? in fact i personally dont even think this thread belongs here but in the pak affairs section
the whole language thing is a political issue inpakistan. is nt the renaming of nwfp a political issue? was nt it a political party who advocated it?
urdu speaking people are much an ethnicity as punjabis are and sindhis. in fact a lot of urdu speaking people have the same ethnic heritage as the other two -sheikhs, qureshis, siddiquis,mughal, syeds, etc...
you have made no single point of how a regional language will be used in your previous posts - you just mention urdu is destroying regional languages. i have asked you time and time again to state clearly how languages should be used but you cant BACK yourself up.
i have gone out of my way to mention a few areas where regional languages and urdu should play roles. your theory makes sense in practise only if you carve up administrative zones based on languages alone otherwise yiour advocating the imposition of regional languages and urdu on the poor souls who live as minorities in nwfp, punjab, sindh, balochistan.
do youreally think its acceptable to impose upon them? most already view that pakistan is for the benfit of urdu speakers and punjab. you will appease sindhi seraiki pashtun baloch nationalists and impose their languages upon the minorities who feel the REAL threat of extinction.
you cant even sympathise with these people just because they are a 1%. if they dont mean anything to you whydont you fight for their independence. they are not colonies of the larger provinces.
the problem with your ideas is that it will cause unrest and disaffection is :-
- chitral
- the hazara belt
- peshawar and kohat city
- dera ismail khan
- attock
- multan and bahawalpur
- the northern areas
- mainwali
- quetta
- karachi and hyderabad
- islamabad
these regions are just some of the regions where the language of the province may not be spoken or there are large numbers of minorities.
can you imagine how pashtiuns would feel is the balochistan assemly started using balochi? canyou imagine how chitralis and hinko speakers would feel if the nwfp assembly started using pashtu? etc etc etc
have some sympathy for your country men ....
Because until someone like you learns to stop bringing politics into it, it shouldnt be allowed. You brought the MQM, hell you even said that I am here commenting only because of my disdain for the MQM. I never said anything about them, and I have already informed you that they dont represent Urdu, which you are trying to convey. I am not attacking Urdu speaking people, because I dont think urdu speaking people are an ethnicity, and that is what you are trying to portray. With that, you lose your own argument when you say an ethnic language shouldnt be imposed on people.
All you've done is brought your anti-punjabism on board, nothing else.
I am a much senior member than you are over here, and you cant digress just because you loose an argument. Not only have you brought politics into it, you have starting making personal statements about me to somehow prove your point, which are as weak as your venomous statements about the province.
I have already spoken to the moderators. And for your record, I have already given plenty of reasons, apart from the thread starters to make my point.
I dont care what you are. I dont care if you speak 'one regional language' that you cant even identify which just shows how truthful you are.
