Well Pakistan had two wings till 1971. That must be clear to you. Bangalis wanted to have Bangla language as national language for pakistan and Others from west Pakistan wanted Urdu as national language. 22 Feb, 1952 is a memorable day when the violation against urdu incremented and students were being killed in response to their protest.

i didn,t get this point, can you please explain this to me again?
also i am not getting that what will be the effect by declaring arabic /english as a national language. i dislike only one thing when people feel embaracement by using urdu as a medium of talking.
if i am wrong any where, please correct me.

jazakAllah khair
Well i am of the pine that we should follow the order of the day. If we have to use english as our conversation language then we should use it. but we need not to throw back our Urdu, we should use it wherever we find it good to use it. We should give equal importance to both languages. Example of China is before us, they never eel shy in using Chineses as edium of conversation but their english is also strong. They never hesitate to use it too.

Regards
