It is the
command of God that; We sent not an apostle except (to teach) in the language
of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. (14-4)
By avoiding
Punjabi language.
By disowning
Punjabi culture.
By ignoring
Punjabi traditions.
Punjabis
are wasting their time.
Punjabis
spoiled their personal life.
Punjabis
are spoiling their social life.
Punjabis
will spoil the future of their kids.
Punjabis
don't know the real power of Punjabi.
Punjabis do
not know the reality of Punjabi that;
Punjabis
are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan.
Punjabi
nation is the 9th biggest nation in the world.
Punjabi
nation is the 3rd biggest nation of South Asia.
Punjabi
Muslims are the 3rd largest ethnic Muslim community in the World.
It is all,
due to not providing the right of education in the mother language of Punjabi
people and not declaring the Punjabi as an official language of Punjab.
Punjabi
language has emerged as an independent language in the 12th century. Baba
Fariduddin Ganjshakar is generally recognized as the first major poet of the
Punjabi language. Revered by Muslims, he is considered one of the fifteen Sikh
bhagats and selections from his work are included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the
Sikh sacred scripture.
As the Punjabi language is groomed by the Sufi saints Baba Farid, Baba Nanak, Shah
Hussain, Sultan Bahu, Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah, Khwaja Ghulam Farid, Mian
Muhammad Bakhsh, therefore, the Punjabi language has a spiritual background. Because
of that, the Punjabi language has the potential for wisdom-related inventions and
intellects to develop the moral character for the good deeds of life and spiritual
development for the life of the hereafter.
Punjabi
language is an older language than Urdu and has a richer cultural and spiritual
asset as compare to Urdu. Urdu as a language was created in 1800 CE after
establishing the Fort William College in Calcutta by British East India
Company. After invading Punjab in 1849, Britishers planted the Urdu and Hindi
in United Punjab for their political pity interests to divide the Punjabi
nation by diverting the Muslim Punjabis towards Urdu language, Hindu Punjabis
towards Hindi language and retaining the Punjabi language for Sikh Punjabis.
Hence Urdu became a virus in cultural and spiritual grooming of Muslim
Punjabis.
If we start
speaking other languages and forget our own, we would not be we, we would be
clones of an alien people; we would be aliens to ourselves" UNESCO, 1958.
For Skill
related inventions and intellects, usually international Lingua-Franca plays an essential role, whereas, for wisdom-related inventions and intellects,
spiritually rich language is of vital importance, especially if it is your
mother language. Therefore, it is in the best interest of Punjabis to adopt the
English as an international Lingua-Franca and Punjabi as their national
language.
Punjabi is
an actual, original and potential language of Punjab and Punjabi nation. A language
groomed, patronized, propagated by the “Sufi Saints of Punjab”.
Punjabi
language as an educational language of Punjab is essential to enhance the
literacy rate in Punjab by providing the educational facility in the mother
language of the people of Punjab.
Punjabi
language as an official language of Punjab is essential to facilitate the
people of Punjab in official dealing with the government departments of Punjab
by providing the communication and correspondence facility in the mother
language of the people of Punjab.
