I really salute this fellow. I would like to know if the book is also being published by some regular publisher? If it is to be distributed freely in electronic form, then it would be a good idea to post it on some website and provide the link. No nation can truly progress until it develops its own language for scientific literature. Has anybody ever thought we have plenty of art and literautre in Urdu, BUT do we have science and engineering literature in our own language? How many of us can really use standard Urdu for scientif communication? Future historians will gauge the progress of today's Pakistan by citing the number of engineering and technical books we produce in our own language. When they would find none, the only conclusion and comment would be that we were a nation that took pride in using a foreign language of people who ruled our country for some time. Moreover, only through our own language will we be able to spread knowledge to masses whether social or engineering and technical. At present, first generation of a poor man goes to school and faces hinderance due to lack of knowlege of English. Therefore, a poor man's child is forced to quit school, may be after 5th grade. Due to this 5 grade knowledge, the next generation progresses a bit further. The only solution is to adopt Urdu for all kind of education. English can be kept as a compulsory subject though. One poor argument that is given against the adoption of Urdu language as medium of scientif and engineering education is that there are not enough alternatives in Urdu for various scientif and engineering terms in Urdu. No one thinks that unless we start using Urdu for this purpose it would not develop further. Somebody would find a way to express mathematical equations and other terms in Urdu IF we start using it for this purpose. If we keep treating our language as we do it now, it will loose its synchronism with modern world and will gradually become extinct. However, if we start using it for engineering and scientific education, it will gradaully develop and flourish and we will no longer mock and laugh at various scientific and engineering terms translated in Urdu. I saw a person who has to hinge his arm on a sling due to fracture for 15 days and could not move it. He got using his other arm for regular tasks. After the fracture was healed, his limb had become weaker and he had forgotten to use his arm. Doctors advised him to start using the healed arm for regular tasks so it could become healthy. I think, Urdu will not become a healthy langauge unless we start using it for regular tasks. -- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam --- On Thu, 2/14/13, adeel asif <adeel_raja84@yahoo.com> wrote:
