Importance of Urdu Language
(muhammadsirajuddin, karachi)
In our country the craze of
English language is at its peak. Our local language is Urdu then why we are
giving much importance to English. Japan, China, Germany, Korea and Russia they
all are well developed countries but they do not know English and if you want to
work in these countries then you have to learn their local languages,
development does not means that everyone in your country is communicating in
English development can be achieve by generating an environment of local
language, and if we keep promoting the language of other countries then the day
is not far away when we will forget our culture along with our language and will
be following the culture of other countries if I am not wrong then we are
already following the culture of western countries which is totally against our
religious and social point of view . The person talking in English is
considering most honorable in our society why? Who will give me the answer of my
question who is responsible for this cross connection of culture and language?
There are so many English learning institutes in Pakistan they all are busy in
teaching language to the local peoples, to get the knowledge of other languages
is not the thing to be anxious but to give more than required importance on our
mother tongue is the thing to be anxious. In our education system we can the
dominance of English language a person get his early education from a government
school and college when went to universities for higher education then the
teacher expect from him to communicate in English how he can speak English when
he have a weak English background the person is not responsible for this
instance it is the government who is responsible for the importance of English
in our Education system if you cannot speak English then there should be a
choice for the student to express his point of view in Urdu but we are the
bagger of the line and the teachers don’t allow even a regular talk in Urdu
inside the class room.
Now a days you can see that what is the status of Urdu speakers in our country
some politicians are talking rubbish about the Urdu speakers but they do not
know the world knows Pakistani nation as Urdu speaker no rather than sindhi,
Panjabi, Pashto and balochi I am not degrading any language I just want to
acknowledge the importance of Urdu language they should respect their mother
tongue as well as its speakers and should promote a Urdu friendly environment in
the country.
