Its time to think.....



Dear readers! After discussing the history of Urdu literature, I want to share a general observation with all of you.It has been seen that we prefer English at each & every place.I am not saying that English should be banned or anything else but I must say that language is the base  of a culture & by giving importance to another language infact we are adopting another culture which is a great loss.We should keep ourself up to date in communication but we should not ignore our roots.
We feel proud to speak English instead of Urdu even at our homes, schools, colleges, clubs, offices etc.Why? What is the reason behind it? Is it means that we are impressed by English culture? Is it means that we are in any complex?
It only means that we are not aware of the richness of Urdu literature due to our laziness.We are well familiar with each character of Shakespear's any drama but we do n't know that who was Imtiaz Ali Taj.Is it our lack of interest in Urdu literature?
Only attention is required.Do n't you think that we should save our values.If yes then think where & what can you do for it.
The most funny thing is that we are upgrading our educational system fully into English.Just think for a while, is it a way to upgrade?No, not at all.Infact it is a way to degrade the patriotism. When a child inters in a school, he sees that he has to study his syllabus in a foreign language.That is the moment when it is penetrated into his soul that his national language can not fulfil the present requirements.The feeling of inferiority comes to his mind that is the reason he ever wants to speak English instead of Urdu,We have to remove this feeling of inferiority by high lighting the precious treasure of Urdu literature.
Think for a while that we have to save our identity.:)
