Thousands of Pakistanis regularly watch Cartoon Network, National geographic, Animal Planet and Discovery channel in Indian version. They use so many Hindi words to whom we Pakistanis are not familiar but we don’t have any other option. So we try to interpret those words in Urdu in our mind to understand the meaning but this thing gradually replacing our Urdu dictionary and we are becoming more familiar with Hindi day by day. In fact so many Hindi words are now part of our regular speaking due to heavy influence of Indian dramas and to some extent it is also affecting our cultural values.

I therefore, request to government to contact directly with above mentioned channel’s Management to give opportunity to Pakistani professional for Urdu Translation and force them to start another local customized Pakistani version.

I also request to Print Media officials to create awareness among people about this issue and raise some pressure on government take actions otherwise Urdu language would be completely demolished in coming years.

Urdu language ranks among the world’s top five languages and is a native language in Pakistan, Bangladesh (for the majority) and India. In Pakistan, more than 10 million people are using the Internet while in India more than 100 million people use the Internet. I don’t know the exact figures in Bangladesh but I am sure more than 5 million people come online from there daily.

If we do a comparison population wise, then we can see Urdu has a clear advantage over French, Spanish, German and many other languages. I am not against of these languages, but I just want to emphasize the importance of the Urdu language.

There are already hundreds of Urdu websites present over the web, and BBC and Google are also offering their services in Urdu. Microsoft already has included Urdu support in the latest version of MS Office and Windows XP. I think it’s time to make Urdu an essential part of TIG. Of course, its not an easy job but at least you should include support for Urdu for Panorama magazine right now.

TIG can easily attract millions of people towards TIG by including Urdu support in your multilingual platform. I am also a native Urdu speaker and would like to contribute for Panorama in Urdu as well.

I can write so many points and factors to convince you towards an Urdu version but I am sure you have got my point. I want to know what other members say about this suggestion. I think you should ask Pakistani/Indian members about my suggestion and invite them to do this job for TIG.
