Divikumar Telangana state BJP leader and also the Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay on May 25, 2022, while talking on Shiva Lingas and corpses, publicly declared that “As soon as they come to power and establish the Rama Rajya they will ban the Urdu language.” However, it is modest to know what Gandhi, who frequently hailed the establishment of Rama Rajya as his intent, during the independence movement said a hundred years ago about Urdu language.
Gandhiji about Hindi and Urdu languages In 1917, Gandhiji while addressing the Gujarati Vidya Mahasabha held at Bharuch in Gujarat said, “I call it Hindi, the language spoken by Hindus and Muslims and written in the Devanagari script or Urdu script in North India”.
There is an argument that Hindi and Urdu are two different languages. But that is not correct. Hindus and Muslims speak the same language in northern India.
The difference between these two is created by the educated folks. You may either call it Hindi or Urdu, but it is the same language spoken by people in northern India. It can be called Urdu if written in Urdu script, If it is written in Nagari script, it is Hindi.
Now Bandi Sanjay has to say! Does prohibiting the Urdu language mean a ban on the writing of it? or even speaking of it too? As colloquial language? or using it even as a language at home? What is the point of banning a language spoken by millions (approximately over five crores)? We perhaps have never seen anyone in this world speak such words, or heard of them! It is purely a blind anti-Muslim outrage deeply rooted in the veins. An outcome of deeply offending resentment that has no bounds.
