Urdu can be a global language a la English
Urdu has the potential to become an international language for communication like English, said Dr Aquil Ahmad, Director, National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL), New Delhi.
Hyderabad: Urdu has the potential to become an international language for communication like English, said Dr Aquil Ahmad, Director, National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL), New Delhi.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the training programme for teachers of Madrassas. The Centre for professional development of Urdu medium teachers, MANUU collaborated with NCPUL and organised a seven-day programme.
"In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), earlier, court proceedings were held in Arabic language only, advocates are now allowed to plead the cases in Urdu also," added Aquil Ahmad who was also the chief guest of the event.
Professor Fatima Begum, Vice-Chancellor, presided over the inaugural ceremony whereas, Prof S M Rahmatullah, Registrar, was the guest of honour. Speaking to participants, Dr Ahmad advised them to become ambassadors of Urdu as this language is our culture too. Urdu was surviving because of madrasas in India, and schools and colleges were not doing enough to promote it, he remarked.
