I read this blog on Pakistaniat and I want to share it with you people. I am putting some of the excerpts from their. And also to the BBC’s article on this topic, 'Pakistan and the battle for English'.
We live in a country, whose national language is Urdu, yet our rulers have always preferred English. English is still considered to be a superior language. Why is that? Urdu has all the ingredients to become the language of science and government. Our Urdu is now becoming a mixture of English, Urdu and Punjabi. I think it is the birth of a new language. It wouldn't be strange if our coming generation start speaking ‘Urdu version 2’.
