lol first of all, dont get so upset. Secondly, what do you want me to back up, I will glady do so. Urdu is native to only a few percent of people in Pakistan, and thats a fact.
Most historians and the people of Bengal would disagree with you. When people were killed in a 1971 like fashion for voicing their rights to have Bengali as the national langauge of their province, you automatically plant the seeds for seperation.
Yes, it might have been a unifying factor IF it was spoken widely. Also, if you read carefully, I am saying we should not have Urdu as the ‘sole’ official language. There is nothing to be scared of, if any other langauge is granted an official status. There are 23 national languages in India, like I mentioned before, and Urdu is one of them.
How can an alien language bind us? Also, I dont think we dont need languages to bind us together as it doesnt work that way. But if you say so, Urdu has done a poor job in binding us together, dont you agree? 55% of our non-Urdu speaking population parted ways in 1971, provinicial disharmony in another two prevailing.
Shallow thinking… you should not look at religion for ‘binding’ because this isolates the minorities.
Maybe those 90% or more people should revert to Urdu first before you can speak for them
