Mumbai – The Supreme Court has rejected the petition opposing the Maharashtra Municipal Council’s board of writing in Urdu, which has led to a decision respected for linguistic diversity in the country. The court has rejected a petition challenging the Bombay High Court’s decision allowing the board of the new Municipal Council building to write the new city council building in Patur in Akola district.
The purpose of the use of Urdu is to communicate only effectively and linguistic diversity should be respected. Justice. The decision given by Dhulia made important comments regarding linguistic diversity. The decision appealed that the language should not be used as due to dividing people.
The city council is to provide services to the people and meet their daily requirements. If some people are familiar with Urdu, then there should be no objection to the use of Urdu other than Marathi in the Municipal Council Board. The language brings people with different ideas and beliefs together and this cannot be the cause of their division.
We have to face the reality of our misconceptions and prejudices. Our strength can never become weakness. We should befriend Urdu and every language. Urdu is not a foreign language, it became born and popular in India. Prejudice arises from the misconception that Urdu is a foreign language. Like Marathi and Hindi, Urdu is also an Indo-Aryan language. Urdu was created due to the need to expand their thoughts and communications for people of different cultures, and over time, it has become the favorite language of many famous poets. Even today, there are some Urdu words in the language of common people, about which not everyone knows. It cannot be said that it is wrong to talk in Hindi daily without using Urdu or the words borrowed from it.
The Hindi language itself comes from the word Persian from Hindavi. Urdu also has words borrowed from many Indian languages including Sanskrit.
Interestingly, Urdu language has more influence in both criminals and civil court proceedings. Words such as court, affidavit and tissue are commonly used. According to the Constitution, the official language of the Supreme Court and the High Court is English, yet many Urdu words are still used in the courts, such as Vakalatanama, Dasti etc.
Language is not religion. Language does not represent religion. The language is associated with community, region and people, not religion. Language is culture. Language is a measure of measuring the social progress of a community and its people.
Citing a quotation of Maulud Banjedi in the judgment, Judge Dhulia said that when you learn a language, you do not just learn to speak and write, you learn to be open -minded, independent, tolerant, generous and inclusive towards all humans. A former member of the Patur Municipal Council of Akola filed a petition raising the issue.
