So, if a language is a product of a culture and of a nation of people having its own unique syntax, Urdu is surely not in the same league as English or Farsi or Tamil. Urdu is not a language in true sense because it has borrowed syntax and grammar from the native languages and part of its vocabulary (especially the words/designations required for administrative work) from the guests who wanted to engage in benevolent actions like making/endorsing ownership claims, charging taxes and collect various other forms of protection money.Īs what was required to be written had to be (obviously) readable to the elites and not necessarily to the masses, it is not at all surprising that spoken Urdu is possible to understand for the natives, but it uses a script that is of Arabic origin and thus unintelligible to the locals. A language is a basic requirement of ruling the masses and hence a linguistic bridge was required to be built rapidly, and that is how Urdu was forged. When various guests (invited or uninvited is not of my interest) arrived in Indian subcontinent from central Asia, knowing the local languages was obviously a practical administrative problem. Urdu is a classic example of a pidgin that emerges when two cultures with fully evolved languages meet and they both are forced to find a working solution to communicate with each other not out of love but out of compulsion. Urdu may be a language of Ghalib and Amir Khusrau today, it was not born because Indian subcontinent (or the arriving guests) lacked languages for writing romantic poetry. There is no issue with the above line of thought used by great scholars currently chastising those who were up in arms against the Jashn-e-Riwaz, but the problem is when they try to forget the origin of Urdu and try and make it appear as a language born out of love between two communities. So, there is no denying that Urdu has a place in India society today that it has earned by proving to be an effective medium of communication at every level. And, as it was a chosen language of the royalty and noblemen, it was obviously forced to imbibe a lot of grace that differentiates it from the plebian vernaculars. There is absolutely no doubt that Urdu has served the art and culture of India by becoming a carrier of many a great artistic masterpiece produced across India since its emergence on Gangetic plains.

The fastest selling claims about Urdu that I can see going viral are that Urdu is a religion-agnostic language that was created in Hindustan to bring people together and (with Bollywood endorsing Urdu) it is a language of explored by great poets/shayars, making it the most powerful medium of romance.Īs Urdu is a “language” spoken by almost 10 crore people as their mother-tongue (with half of them living in India), it is silly to question its status as a language or ignore the cultural role it has played in India.

The process is so fast that before one can address the Urdu experts’ claims about Jashn-e-Riwaz, we already have the Karva Chauth gambit put forth so that we, as a nation remain just enough divided for both left and right wingers to have a career of stoking the ambers and keep them burning for the next marketing kid to be able to roast his/her pork/beef (with apologies of not having vocabulary and knowledge enough to be able to add a gender-neutral pronoun and a religion-neutral roast-able item).Īs I come from a generation that saw the fag-end of a massive linguistic debate, I am more tempted to take up the Urdu debate as it has spawned a whole range of interesting claims about the history of Urdu that we can actually look at without getting into the Hindu-Muslim Indian-Invader issues that are driving the market.
