First Look: Sonia Gandhi's Urdu letter to UP Muslims
by Mustaque Alam on Apr 21, 2007 11:59 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Sonia has not written any unwanted things in here letter. Why the hell this fuss. Urdu originated in India and one of the scheduled language of our contitution. Is it ok if she write bengali, kannada, assami etc any other language except? Is it wrong to ask for vote in election in such a clean manner? All the fuss crteated by RSS and BJP minded communcal people. It bullshit.

Its appealing people religiously. Its against Secularism.



Also, speaking about Urdu in UP is going to rise Communal tempetarure, because historically Pakistan movement was started and nurtured in UP and Urdu was their main demand.



Those who are for Urdu were supposed to go to Pakistan.



What is next? reservation for Urdu medium students in IIT/IIMs, Schools, Colleges of higher studies?



Yes, Urdu is an Indian laguage, BUT IT WAS SPOKEN BY MUSLIM ELITE, NOT EVEN BY RURAL MUSLIMS.



There is no reason to bring back the Language which once divided the country.

Why dont you remove this language from Bollywood. I know your people are prised this langauge in front of our muslim friend. But you hate this language in back. You should know that it is official language of Kashmir. People still do their offical work in Kashir, and as far as hindi is concernt it is bit difficult, coz there was so many words come from Sanskrit, which is very difficult language, I am not against any language.

60-70% Urdu words are of Sanskritic origin. Issue is not words, many Indian language use many words from outside India.



Issue is script.





Lets see, how many people watch Bollywood Movies if it shows casting in Urdu.



Few decades back, movie name etc used to be shown in Urdu. Now, its no more.



Kashmir: Urdu is imposed on them, that's why Kashmiri language became dead.



35% non-Muslims of Kashmir now uses Kashmiri language in Sarada Script. And within a decade, it will become a major force.

The Invader Mughals are not Indians;Urdu as the internet articles say is a Mughal court developed language.On 14th march 1888 in Meerut Sir Syed Khan had spoken "The English have conquered India, and all of us along with it. And just as we made the country
obedient and our slave, so the English have done with us."Does it not mean that Urdu is ----.Pl.Note the word" this country" in Sir Syed Khan's address .He is fair and honest he didn't say our country R.Ponnambalam

In fact Ashok Desai, noted COmmentetor recently wrote that Muslims in India should start writing Urdu in Devnagri Script.



In 2007, when everybody is working hard to raise their lot thro' education, demand for Urdu by Muslims will put them at disadvantage. We have 1001 problem, and nobody really cares about Urdu.



If a Bengali living in Delhi can start reading.writing in Hindi/English, why it makes Muslims different?



BY INSISTING ON URDU, MUSLIMS WANT MORE PROLIFERATION OF THIS LANGUAGE, USE THAT AS AN EMPLOYMENT OPPURTUNITY.



Worst form of communal politics based on language.

Dost,

Hum log Employment ke bhoke nahi, Aur hamin Urdu employment ki zaroorat bhi.



Hum log yaan employer ban ke rahte hain, na ke employee, tum log naukri ke liye dakhkha khate ho, See Azeem premji, how many hindu employees are working under it.



Kuch samjah main bhi aaya ya phir bangali main samjhawo

Azim Premji is a good muslim. But you are Deobondi, a fundamentalist Islamist.



Premzi doesn't speak for Urdu. He thinks about India, development of India.
