How To Read Hindi Novels In Mobile?

Why don't Indians realize Hindi is an artificial language & a deviant of Urdu (read details of the question)?

  • Indians confuse the histories of Hindi and Urdu. Let’s call the language that developed during Muslim rule over the Indian subcontinent “X”, not Hindi or Urdu. Look at it from the script. Urdu is defined by its Nastaliq script, Hindi is defined by its original Sanskritized Devanagari script. The Nastaliq script for “X” is older than the Sanskritized/Hindi Devanagari script for “X” (not talking about the Sanskrit language). The reason why the Hindi-Urdu controversy took place in 1867 was because literary work in Nastaliq was being converted into Sankskritized Devanagari. Even till 1947, Nastaliq was more popular than Devanagari. Also, “X” had more Persian-Arabic derived & few Sanskrit derived words in it than present day Shudh Hindi does, & it was pretty much like present day Urdu (read Ghalib's poetry for example, a Hindi speaker can't understand it). That means that Urdu is older than Hindi by default. While Sanskrit language written in the Sankrit Devanagari script for Holy Scriptures is older than both Urdu & Hindi, Urdu is older than Hindi. Hindi is an artificial language, an innovation. I’ve provided enough proof that Indians are wrong with their lies.

  • Answer:

    Simple answer (not that you will accept it) is language evolves. It evolves in every culture and that evolution doesn't make the language in question 'artificial' or a 'lie.' The Urdu language originated in South Asia. It developed from the integration between South Asian languages and the languages of the Middle East. This language 'process' soon became the language of the Mughals, distinguished from local languages by it's large and extensive Arabic-Persian vocabulary which was superimposed on a native Hindi base of grammar, usages, and vocabulary. In other words, the languages melded - 'evolved.'

Very few crazy pundit like you proposes theory like this. Better do some more fact finding and you will come to know that Urdu is an assemblage of Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Khari Boli(Hindustani dialect used in Mughal Period) used by Mughal Army. It didn't even have the status of Royal Language. All official works were documented in Persian in Mughal Court. So the status of Urdu is more like a pariah dog without any pedigree.
