How successful has the promotion of sindhi language in Pakistan since 1947?

Answer 1

From period 1947 till Ayub Khan took over through Military Coup, it was at all not successful.

Jinnah tried to implement URDU (instead of promoting provincial , ethnicor local languages). He took initiative to enforce Urdu to be the only national language of Pakistan (English remained as official foreign language).

As a result mass protest by people from East Pakistan (where the mother tongue was Bangla, Bengali). Students revolted and outraged to the speech of Jinnah in 1952 'Urdu and only urdu to be the language of Pakistan'. Students and ordinary publics were killed in Feb, 1952 in the streets of Dhaka (Dacca).

And it became a political issue for the Bangla speaking East Pakistanis to get rid of Pakistan (and that happened in 1971, the birth of new nation Bangladesh took place).

Now 21st Feb is recognised by UNESCO as Day for Herritage of Language

(because of the blood given by the Banglalee public in 1952 to preserv theit own Mother tongue). No other nation in this world did that much to preserve their say in their own Mother tongue.

Answer 2

Pakistan is a multilingual country with six major and over fifty-nine small languages.

these five major regional languages are: Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Farsi(Persian) and Balochi.Punjabi is the local language of the Punjab. It was a popular language amongst the Sufi poets who used it for their romantic folk poetry. These poems contributed greatly to the popularity of Punjabi. After Independence, steps were taken for the promotion and development of the language in other parts of the province. The Government have ensured its development by giving support to those institutions who are using it. Sindhi was written in 'Marwari' and 'Arz Nagari' was of writing which was subsequently changed into Arabic. After Independence, steps were taken to promote the language e.g. the Sindhi Literary Board was set up in 1948 which has printed many books and magazines in the language. Pushto literature was boosted after Independence since the poets had contributed a great deal to the freedom struggle. The Baluchi language has also been promoted by its broadcasting on the radio. The establishment of the Quetta Television Station has also helped to promote it.
