1.	Why was urdu language chosen as the national language in 1947?
Answer» other majority languages were very regional in nature. Choosing a regional language as national language WOULD have been disastrous for an already weak PAKISTAN by giving rise to communal and regional tensions.Urdu, on the other hand, had a well developed reputation of being a language of Muslims and was already being widely used as mode of communication between DIFFERENT groups of Muslims. It was only natural that Urdu was chosen as national language of newly minted Muslim country.Even today, you need only one language to live in any part of Pakistan and that language is Urdu. If you, as a Pakistani, meet another Pakistani who doesn’t speak your regional language, you are not going to act LIKE a foreigner around that person, instead you’ll just speak Urdu and you two will get along just fine.This is what I have done my entire life. Never had a PROBLEM in communication with any other Pakistani.
