Q:b) why was urdu chosen as the national language of pakistan? /7
ans: Urdu has a long history. it was widely used in the mughal era but dates back as far as the sultans of dehli. it is beleived to have originated in Northern india when punjabi, pushto and turkish interacted with the local dialects of dehli and the surrounding areas. we also know that by the end of the 13th century, the muslim armies were useing a common language to make it easier for people from foreign parts to understand each other, this language went through further development to form what we know call urdu. thus, it was inevitable that a language with such a long history was to be chosen as the national language of pakistan.
Urdu has a rich literary background. poetry has been significantly prevelant in the language for centuries. for example, emperor muhammed shah and bahadur shah zafur took an interest in promoting it, the latter being a great poet himself. famous peots of the time include Mir, Sauda and Ghalib. the alighar muslim university set up by the great Sir Syed Ahmad Khan became a centre of study of urdu, and produced many talented writers such as Jazbi and Majaz. In the early 20th century, Dr Allama Iqbal took an interset in promoting the Urdu language and produced many literary masterpeices. thus, it was only sensible that a language with such a great literary background was chosen as the language of pakistan.
the link between urdu and the islamic religion is also importatn. this bond was tightened when Shah abdul Qadir translated the quran into urdu. many religios books have also been written in the urdu language, thus uniting the muslims. Mr jinnah saw the connection with the muslims and urdu and chose this language as the national language of pakistan in order to unit the muslim people into one pakistani community..
