The thing I dont understand is that what you are anyone else exactly means when you say we should keep english and urdu as official languages and then at the state level have our very own provincial languages?
What I want to know is in day to day life how exactly is all of this put into practise. It all sounds good in theory but we need someone like yourself who believes ina ll of this to tell us how all of this urdu aand english as official language, and provincial languages as state languages will work out.
By the way India has serious homelessness and poverty problems - Pakistan does not - should Pakistan follow suit there? Why does India have to enter every argument?
I want to know how all this language issue will affect the life of Pakistan and Pakistanis on a day to day basis.
Its about time you admit India is eons ahead of us, and this excuse of 'oh they have poverty doesnt work'. I have interacted with Indians, from all over India, and never seen them squabble like how Pakistanis do, when it comes to ethnicities and matters of provincial differences. India came into the discussion because some of you think we cant survive without 'one national language'. India came into the discussion because they have a better system of working with languages whilst keeping everyone happy, than us, and keep in mind we came from the same platform, and the same time, and look how well they did, and we are on the verge of breakups (infact already had one in the past). Imposing a language which no one except some rich migrants speak on everyone was one of the biggest mistakes we made.
It does affect the life of a citizen. East Pakistan was a good example, as to how much it affected the people over there. Most people do not consider it their own language, and they see it as a threat to their regional/provncial language and will always continue to be. Imposition of Urdu (a language which none of the 5 provinces spoke) is something they quote as the injustices done to them. You can keep saying they hate Pakistan, just like East Pakistanis, but it will have disastrous consequences.
