Language can be the medium of education from basic to advanced level.Language should have the capability to express all types of feelings and thoughts.Language should bear the national cultural, social, and civil values.Language should be written, read, understood, and spoken in different parts of the country with a higher frequency compared to other languages.Language should not be limited to a specific faction or region.In his statement, the maulvi opposed Bengali as a national language because it did not fulfill the following criteria: This was followed, on March 20, 1972, by a statement from Maulvi Abdul Haq.
In response to the language policy, the Bengalis of former East Pakistan rejected the decision. In the case of Pakistan, the post-Partition language policy set out to suppress the cultural diversity of the country’s different regions, which state leaders regarded as a threat to the unity and integrity of the country. In the years that followed, Urdu not only undercut its position among Balochi writers, it pushed Balochi into a political and cultural corner.Ī language, by its nature, is not limited to its functional purpose as a means of communication. However, this amiable relationship began to change after Partition when state leaders declared Pakistan one nation, and established Urdu as the national language, often by means of force. Even Baloch nationalist organizations like Anumjan-e-Ittehad-e-Balochan, the Qallaat National Party and Baloch Haq Tawwar used Urdu in writing their political poetry, declamations, essays and letters. In some of the earliest Baloch writings – from Faryad Balochistan and Shams Gardi to Mehrab Gardi – Urdu, not Balochi, was the chosen language of expression. This is in part because during the first half of the 20th century, both languages co-existed, maintaining a non-interfering friendship of sorts. Most Baloch in Pakistan speak Urdu as well as Balochi, their mother tongue. Once in the Desert | Artist: Murad Khan Mumtaz
