aoa your post is thought provoking.you are not alone in your concerns for the national language.i would first like to adress your querries.
Comments on your questions:
1 & 8- there is no such threat to the language because a language which is rich in history,expressions and litrature requires a pro-active compaign against its survival.and we dont see any such pointed conspiracies,or, or we?
2 & 4- we do have man of standind and wisdome who think as well as produce in urdu.but their dilemma lies in three facts:
a- we have poor literacy rate
b- and the few literate Pakistanies are not fond of reading
c- those few who read,read out of fondness for fashion rather than for reading itself,are tending towards english literature.
3- we dont need outsiders for blaming them for spoiling us when we are careless ourselves
5- intentions cannot be known,but what bollywood is doing is rather promoting their own language more than it is having any effect on Urdu.we can see people using Hindi words in communication.
6- couldn't get this point
7- well your initiative in farm of this thread and others' concern is a strong signe that we respect our language
9- how we can promote is the most important issue.there is positive signe in this respect...our high birth rate is prooving as a blessing in disguise,more the speakers of a language,extended would be the life of their language
anyhow the serious steps in this respect can be:
a- giving attention to liberaries
b- reproducing the work of urdu scholars in other languages
c- encouraging youngesters by holding urdu essay,poetry,writing etc compititions
d- exchanging the urdu books as gifts
e- generation of competent teaching faculty for urdu
f- our embassies should distribute urdu litrature books with translation to visiters
these are few small but interest invoking steps in the desired direction.
i ll try to add few more points some other time.
