blog tehelka com: Dr MOhamamd Yaqub Aamir: Urdu hai mera naam main Khusrau ki paheli
Main Meer ki humraaz hun Ghalib ki saheli
(My name is Urdu and I am Khusrau’s riddle
I am Meer’s confidante and Ghalib’s friend)
Kyun mujhko banate ho tassub ka nishana
Maine to kabhi khud ko musalmaan nahi maana
(Why have you made me a target for bigotry?
I have never thought myself a Muslim)
Dekha tha kabhi maine bhi khushiyo ka zamana
Apne hi watan me hum agar aaj akayli
(I too have seen an era of happiness
But today I am an orphan in my own country)
I don’t think anything can describe the state of Urdu’s neglect and decline than these lines by IqbalAshar.
In this article I want to dispel the notion that a language can have a religion by tracing its origin and the roots of how that tag got attached to it, leading to its subsequent neglect.
Language is a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition.

Very true, when you hear “Urdu” uttered by the reporters and other presenters on Pakistani satellite channels, its unbelieveable, they have corrupted the Urdu by using English words they can’t even pronounce correctly. When one tries to read the written breaking news underneath, the english words written in urdu can’t be deciphered easily they read entirely different sounding jargon. They have murdered our beautiful rich language. Is there any way to stop this before our Urdu becomes extint. God save our Urdu.
اردو کا سب نے ہی بیڑا غرق کیاہے۔پاکستانی ٹی وی چینلوں پر نشر ہونے والے پروگراموں کے میزبان خواتین و حضرات کی اردوکسی طور لائق تحصین نہیں۔یہ بات بھی درست ہے کہ میزبان اپنی گفتگو میں انگریزی کی جا بہ جا ملاوٹ کرتے ہیں لیکن جناب آپ نے اعتراض بھی کیا تو بدیسی زبان میں ؟ اردو سے اس قدر محبت ہے تو رومن میں ہی لکھ لیتے ۔ آپ کے ارشادات کتنے فیصد لوگوں کے پلے پڑیں گے؟
