The Court ruled that FabIndia *cannot* market their product as' khadi'. Following the court order, Fab India has stopped using 'khadi' as a platform. The compensation case for the Khadi Emporium/ co-operative is still sub judice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urdu was a thriving language far before the British concept of a 'princely state'. 15 hours ago, ravishingravi said: I have to agree. Urdu is one of our own. You both misunderstood me. I never said Urdu is not part our heritage. Hindi was the language in many kingdoms of north before the Islamic invasions. Later. those Islamic sultanats had official language as Farsi/Persian. With such an influence, the common langauage became Hindusthani. Urdu was an offshoot of that movement , where Urdu had 99% of verbs derived from Sanskrit/Prakrit and Most words are from these languages. 25% of words are from Persian. I am not sure when the script for Urdu was chosen to be Arabic/Persian. But the religious divide of Urdu and Hindi happened even before Mughal period. So, with the ruling class help, Urdu gained dominance as official language , even though the sultans preferred Persian. It continued until the British arrived and post 1830s. Awadh/Benaras and other areas fought back the dominance of Urdu and they petitioned the British to help out. Urdu is a beautiful language,, no doubt, but it has a bloody legacy because of being the official language of UP Muslims, Post-Partition, Urdu was imposed on other regional languages like Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashtun, Baloch, Bengali and even Kashmiri. It even caused the reason of conflict between east and west Pakistan, with millions of Bengalis slaughtered, although it was racial too, language caused a barrier too. Hence, any attempt by Bollywood or media to impose Urdu over Hindu culture is resisted. Let Diwali be Diwali, No need to secularize it.

It is eventually about patronising common folk about Hindu festivals. Diwali, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, rituals are mocked as regressive.
