Malayalam and Kannada are not written in Tamil script. While all three languages belong to the Dravidian family and share some historical connections, they each have their own distinct writing systems. * Tamil uses the Tamil script, a Brahmic script with a long history dating back to around the 2nd century BCE. * Malayalam is written in Malayalam script, which is an adaptation of the Vatteluttu script, itself derived from the Pallava script. * Kannada has its own script, Kannada script, also derived from the Brahmic family.

Congress rightly did not interfere in promotion, or demotion, of Urdu or for that matter any other language. It is not the job of a government to promote or demote a language. That is best left to the society. And indeed, 2 nation theory resulted in the death knell of Urdu in India. In united India Urdu would have been a spoken language, as was in the initial years of post independence India, and that would have kept the language alive. If people don't speak a language it will die a natural death just like many languages have come and gone in the past.

Akbar the Great, the Mughal emperor who ruled over much of the Indian subcontinent in the 16th century, was known to be multilingual and had a keen interest in languages. Some of the languages he was familiar with include: 1. **Persian**: Persian was the official language of the Mughal court and administration during Akbar's reign. Akbar himself was fluent in Persian and used it extensively for governance, diplomacy, and literature. 2. **Turkic Languages**: Akbar was also proficient in various Turkic languages, which were spoken by many of his Turkic and Central Asian officials, generals, and subjects. 3. **Arabic**: As a Muslim ruler, Akbar would have been familiar with Arabic, which is the language of the Quran and is widely studied by Muslims for religious and scholarly purposes. 4. **Hindustani**: Akbar likely had a good understanding of Hindustani, which was a vernacular language spoken by the common people in the Mughal Empire. Hindustani later evolved into modern-day Hindi and Urdu. 5. **Sanskrit**: Although there is no concrete evidence of Akbar's proficiency in Sanskrit, he had a keen interest in Hindu philosophy, culture, and literature. He patronized Sanskrit scholars and sponsored translations of Hindu texts into Persian. 6. **Chagatai**: Chagatai was another Turkic language that Akbar was likely familiar with, as it was spoken by many of his Central Asian Turkic nobles. 7. **Braj Bhasha**: Akbar had an interest in Indian vernacular literature, and Braj Bhasha was one of the languages in which many devotional works and poems were written during his time. These are some of the languages Akbar the Great was known or likely to have been familiar with, reflecting his diverse cultural and linguistic interests in the Mughal Empire.

The other day I was watching a documentary on Mazar e Ghalib and was shocked to see his poetry wrongly written on the walls. Either it was script or or the Shayer itself. How can people be so insensitive about this. The only reason I can think of is that hardly any people left there who can read Urdu text. Javed sahab plz go there and take along Gulzar sahab for correction. By the way I am a Punjabi who lives in lahore but can read Urdu text. So the moral of the story is that we as Pakistani have are the true custodians of all Urdu poets of India. How’s that😂

[@mobeenmalik6835]

@@marinafazal8565 they can’t even say KEH all they can manage is KE. So irritating Though I wanted to ask Javed Sahab , did Ghalib die in 1974 but I did not. I say this as after independence the congress boycotted Urdu and all its ports and their heritage of hundreds of years by just their state policies. Even Mazar e Ghalib remained a godown during that period. It’s redemption time for them and Javed sahab who is just a Filmy poet talks rubbish about languages. He doesn’t qualify for that. One cannot rightly pronounce the ward Ghazal in Devnagri let alone write it. They don’t have Ghain they don’t have Zay in Hindi so all they can say is Galib KI Gajal
