@Javedakhtarjadu What’s the point of all this. While applauding Mr. Akhtar’s sincerity, have any of these festivals resulted in any kind of renaissance in Pakistani society, to make life more humane for its non-Muslim minorities, to generate some sensible policies on making peace with India?

@Javedakhtarjadu Civilizations which can not afford pure water and air, run after pure language.

@Javedakhtarjadu Grammar and vocabulary are 2 parts of a language. Vocabulary keeps changing and borrow from other languages. It is the grammar which do evolves slowly but doesn't borrow. It is the grammar which is the building block of a language. 1/2

@Javedakhtarjadu भाषा का अधिक से अधिक समावेशी तथा निरंतर व्यापक होते रहना आवश्यक होता है, सभी वह सर्वोपयोगी रह पाती है। अन्यथा सीमित शब्दकोश के फंदे मे घुट कर मृतप्राय हो सकती है Language needs to be more and more inclusive and ever expanding. Otherwise it runs the risk of getting strangulated
