Subject: Request to implant Punjabi Language as an Educational and Official Language of
Honorable Chief Minister of
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 of the world.
Punjabi
nation is the 3rd biggest nation of the 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
Punjabi language has been 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, Punjabi language has spiritual
background. Because of that, Punjabi language has potential for wisdom
related inventions and intellects to develop 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 the 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.
Honorable Chief Minister of Punjab , 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.
Honorable Chief Minister of Punjab , Punjabi is an actual, original
and potential language of Punjab and Punjabi nation. A language groomed, patronized,
propagated by the “Sufi Saints of Punjab ”.
Honorable
Chief Minister of Punjab, you are requested to take an earnest action to
implant the Punjabi language as an educational language of Punjab to enhance
the literacy rate in Punjab by providing the educational facility in the
mother language of the people of Punjab.
Honorable
Chief Minister of Punjab, you are requested to take an earnest action to
implant the Punjabi language as an official language of Punjab 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.
With
Respect and Regards,
Shahbaz Arain
