Dear Farooq:
I appreciate your feeling and comments on the udu book of electronics. Brother Khalid did this before as well. But what is the response of nation? What does our governments thinks about Urdu? Let me share with you some crucial facts adopted by our govts:
Govt of Pakistan has left urdu language since long and in the beginning. Urdu language was declared as national language but English language at the same time was adopted as �official language� which obviously �means �officials� are perhaps not part of the nation as they can not communicate in urdu!(atleast until now they have really proved practically that they can serve everybody�s interests/orders except caring for people of Pakistan).
2 More than a million letters/notes are writtenevery year �by our �official govt� but not a single page is written in our national language.
3Urdu is compulsory upto intermediate level and English is compulsory upto university level.
4 Our �official and national govts� has already killed it and some poor individual souls are trying to help it alive.
5 Immediaately after establishment of Pakistan Bangalese insisted not to stic with urdu and adopt Arabic language as our national language and they were ready to leave bangla Bhasha for Arabic �but we chose to broke the largest Muslim country on the face of earth to be two pieces for Urdu and then our self killed Urdu. If �officials� would have accepted this offer today Pakistan would not only had become a unified country but also entire technical/administrative control of middle East would be in our hands instead we are now largest donkey workers providing centre for middle Eastwho is providing low value added sindhi,Punjabi,pashtoon and baluchi labour.
5 Untill now with a huge fleet of universities we are not able to write any urdu screen readers for blinds �and �of NU FAST� claims proved to be a dreamed when request for a demo was made.No, nation can develop/progress until they ensure equal opportunity for �the less previllaged people of their country.
6 Like our confused govts, Dr. N clare�s Fedral Urdu University� is biggest symbol of contradiction wher everything of management and IT/engineering is being taught in English whereas the very name of the university clearly indicate that it was an organization meant to promote urdu as medium of instruction.Therefor, instead of perusing their urdu promotion task they are equally wrestling to be another money making centre instead of urdu language promoters!
There are many other facts and factors I leave for other colleagues to comment on but please remember one stept of a team is better than hundred stepts of an individual!
Kindest regards.

�
| 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
