Language is a source of recognition for all nations. Language is not just about the medium of communication, it depicts the culture and ideology of nations. Every nation is always over protective to their languages; this makes a language a collective heritage of its speakers.
Urdu is national language of Pakistan and official language in some of the parts in India. In India Urdu Hindi controversy is a big dilemma, time and again people are exploited over the Urdu Hindi disagreement to set political gains.
Nineteen century was more controversial when Hindus raised a movement to practice Hindi as National language in all parts of India. To counter this attack, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan led Urdu movement to defend the subsistence of Urdu language in the subcontinent.
Most of the people have point of view that Urdu Hindi controversy had become the source of separation between Pakistan and India. However, it is not clear which single difference initiated the resolution for a separate nation.
Even until now, despite the declaration of Urdu language in some of parts, Indian Government has failed to ensure the application in real sense
Urdu Hindi controversy has long history but one thing is pretty apparent that Urdu has succeeded in preserving its versatility and unique expression through all years. Its speakers are motivated and are defending their language at different platforms with aim to keep its strong presence and popularity with users.
This controversy is more about the exploitation of subject for the political gains, but it is responsibility of speakers to preserve its beauty even through the tough times.
