Pakistani National Anthem.

English seems to be a better bet as people have more motivation to learn it than Urdu which carries negative political baggage specially given the history of it being one of the reasons for losing Eastern wing
So you think that Pakistani anthem should be in English? and tell me how many % of Pakistanis in villages/ suburban area and rural area can speak/write and understand English?

They have generational motivation to learn English thanks to the Raj.

Why you're so eager to live in a colonial mindset? we haven't a rich historical heritage to proud of? why you insisting that our anthem should be in English rather than in Parsian or in Urdu?, explain me in a logical way not in a trolling way

The laws are written in English and inspired by the English law. People still choose English to learn in attempts of gaining employment opportunities. English is considered merit while Urdu is not.

Reasons fair enough don't you think? Unless the state wholeheartedly accepts Urdu, implements it by hook or crook, only then can we talk about it.

Not interested in Persian. Too feminine for a choice of language for Pakistanis
 
Are you of the opinion that the lyrics should be taken out and only melody left if people cannot understand the alien language of the anthem?

Do you believe India is a nation? It seems like a colonial entity.
It’s not an alien language. If you can understand Ghalib or Iqbal you can understand the National Anthem.

So you need to understand 2 of the most complex minds of the previous 2 centuries to understand the National Anthem? Ain't that a little harsh for someone in Tando Ala Yaar or Dera of Ismail Khan?

Some may argue that I have colonial aspirations for Urdu akin to English but sure if its easier for you to go with Slave mindset theory.

Which government position gets advertised for where Urdu is a prerequisite?

IN LAW of govt Urdu is a official language of Islamic republic of Pakistan, English is always secondary language of Pakistan

English is co-official language and the constitution of Pakistan is written in English.

Just like ancient times, where Persian was the language of the Mughal Court and Urdu was the language of the military and officer class.

People voted for some cricketer few years ago because he could speak better English than his opponents.

We have not colonial mindset like you have, and tell me how many our politicians/ senators/ members of national assembly. ministers/ official high rank officers/civil servant can speak/write and understand English correctly? 99% is from our corrupt and illiterate/jahil and lord system who know the DAMN about English, even our current president can't write English properly i can assured that to you,

If it helps none of them can write Urdu either and these people count their corruption in English numerals not Urdu.

Either take Urdu out or give the language the respect it deserves.

Because no one forced them to and I am proposing that they should either be forced to learn Urdu through incentives or Urdu forsaken of the mighty task.
 
Ex Indian? You must be one of those educated people who believe India was partitioned.


Urdu is still evolving and still a very modern language. It has taken many words from English and continue to adopt and utilise foreign words but it has failed the task of national language be it lack of interest by the people or by the state to propagate it properly.

English seems to be a better bet as people have more motivation to learn it than Urdu which carries negative political baggage specially given the history of it being one of the reasons for losing Eastern wing.
"but it has failed the task of national language"

This seems like a personal opinion to me and which you are certainly entitled to.

You can bet on the fact that Pakistanis will continue taking up Urdu faster and more agreeably than English.

As far as this negative baggage with Urdu, nobody cares about what happened in EP/BD any longer. Most actually have no idea.
