Why do Pakistani people speak English mixed with Urdu so much?

Re: Why do Pakistani people speak English mixed with Urdu so much?

I think if you are bilingual its natural for words of the other language to creep in during conversation.
I have words from english as well as arabic creeping in while conversing. At times even complete proverbs in arabic. Its not done on purpose. It just happens unintentionally. In fact its a hinderance because at times I may use urdu/arabic words unintentionally infront of an audience who understands neither.

From average person to a celebrity (Singer, Actor, whatever) to politician and army general etc.

Why can’t they just talk straight for more than 30 seconds… in their OWN National Language?

I can see using very few words of English once in a while in conversation but why do they have to say whole sentence in English switching all of a sudden from Urdu?

As a side question:** Why** do they feel ashamed of wearing their own clothing or attire? (And that includes representatives from Pakistan and politicians, even foreign ministers etc.)

Do they think its** cool** to talk in English or act like Englishman from Scotland, England no matter how much they fail to copy… and they will be respected more if they speak eloquent English even when they are living and breathing in Pakistan?
