World Urdu Conference 2005
The simple demand that Urdu lovers should make is that Urdu should be taugh at the school level, the link with employment will come on its own. If you don't have readers buying Urdu newspapers, magazines, and books then you can not blame the government for low employment in the Urdu sector.
Give Urdu its due, say delegates at Hyderabad meet
Hyderabad | January 14, 2006 6:15:05 PM IST
A three-day World Urdu Conference, being attended by delegates from India, Pakistan, US and Canada, began here Saturday with speakers calling for linking the language with jobs.
Terming Urdu as a language that linked people of various communities, regions and countries, speakers said it had survived despite all odds and would continue to thrive.
Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mufti Mohammed Sayeed said though Urdu was not spoken in his state, it had the status of an official language and linked people of various regions.
"This is true of the entire country. Urdu and not chaste Hindi is used in our television serials and films. But the true development of this language is possible only when it is linked with employment," he said.
"Even in Pakistan every province has its own language but it is Urdu which links the people of all provinces," Sayeed said. He suggested that modern subjects like science, technology and mathematics be introduced in madrassas to make Urdu students competitive.
Andhra Pradesh Governor Sushil Kumar Shinde, who inaugurated the conference and spoke in chaste Urdu, promised that a global Urdu research centre would be set up here.
The conference has been organised by Urdu daily Siasat.
Praising the efforts of Siasat in promoting the language, Food Processing Industries Minister Subodh Kant Sahay admitted that justice had not been done to the language despite setting up various committees to look into the problems.
Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy promised to open more Urdu residential schools in the state.
