if yes, that's a good thing. it is impossible to have definitive substantive discourse in urdu, a language-culture designed more to miscommunicate.
well, i didn't get much out of this obituary excpet illustrated weekly had a part time paki lover screening hindu letter writers for publishing. now that would be a bad thing, a real bad thing, no?

Dear Pradip with all due respect to your erudite observations, let me tell you that Urdu is an Indian language and not a Muslim language. Urdu, which itself was derived from varied languages,is a true representative of the multi cultural traditions of India. Further the so called Hindi movies are actually using Urdu written in devanagri script.I don't understand why people tend to disown a language which is rightfully ours (and not of Pakistan which itself is nothing but minor blurr in world history, and is bound to get back to where it belonged i.e. India, as it is unable to sustain itself). This beautiful language was usurped by the Pakistanis, but this should not prevent us from giving it's due place in the Indian society.
