It might help local businesses and tourists, but a cringe festival. They have to stop this chutiyapa now.  It is one of those things that Indians like to do -

Cake smearing on birthdays

Gutkha spitting in trains

Talking loudly on phones in public

Yrashing lays and kurkure packets on roads

And this

Why do we always put them on a pedestal out of all our neighbouring countries is one thing I never understand.

 

We don't have these gaudy border ceremonies with our other neighbours.

 

Always give these thankless people lead roles and singing opportunities in Bollywood. Why not Srilanka, Nepal or other neighbours.

 

And less said about cricket the better.

 

It's high time we stop treating them as equals.

Even up until 1947, many Muslims were fluent in Persian. Take Allama Iqbal, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Urdu poets. But interestingly, he wrote more poetry in Persian than in Urdu. In fact, Iranians often claim Iqbal as their own poet rather than Pakistan’s. Iqbal himself once said that his Persian poetry holds far more value than his Urdu work.

Did you know that Iran’s current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, completed his PhD on Iqbal’s philosophy? That speaks volumes about the deep cultural and intellectual ties that once existed between Iran and the Muslims of the subcontinent.

This connection between older generations of Iran and what became Pakistan persisted until 1947,  but gradually it faded, first with the rise of Urdu, and later with the growing influence of Arabic.

Today, many religious clerics are pushing Arabic so aggressively that even Urdu is being sidelined.

On the other hand, India seems to be drifting toward a purist form of Shuddh Hindi, which is increasingly difficult to understand. I worry that one day, even North Indians might feel like foreigners to us. The Hindi spoken in Indian political speeches and talk shows feels completely different from the more familiar Hindi we hear in Bollywood movies.

 

 

Language changes when there is an cultural shift in the society. Hindustani or Hindi mixed Urdu was quite prevalent in North India due to Islamic interferences.

 

But that alienated North with South where lingustically Sanskrit has an influence.

 

Culturally, North India is shifting back to its Sanskrit roots slowly due to which the pure-Hindi or Sanskritized Hindi is increasing its influence. It will also help in bridging the language issue to a large extent, as Sanskrit used to be the court language of almost entirety of present day India (even though common people may speak different languages).

 

Historically, entirety of India..east of Indus river Pakistan had Sanskrit as their main language. When the culture shifted, language too drifted apart.

That's correct. If they really wanted to do such ceremonies...do it with Nepal, Bhutan or with Sri Lanka.

Yes India gave multiple chances to Pak mil for off ramp.. even gave them a face saving exit during the night of ceasefire by not retaliating.

I got the impression that despite the influence of Sanskrit on South Indian languages (except for Tamil???), still the present day South Indians can understand Bollywood movies type Hindi much better than Shudh Hindi (which we hear in Indian Media).

You cant speak a single North Indian language and you become expert on Sanskrit and Tamil. Stop p[eddling soft ISPR agenda. Tamil is one of closest languages to Sanskrit.

 

 

PS: Their is a reason why Naarthies are ditching Bollywood Films.

Atari Border is used to supply food/Aid to Afghans

Its ok to help friendly country but doing this beating retreat **** show i dont understand it, especially with poopistani. Its sound same as regular fixtures of ind-pak cricket during icc events. Poopistani are enemy country we should seal all border not allow any civilians to allow for poopistani visa on Indian passport or we will have an army of youtubers working as an isi agent. We should stop all kind of connect with poopistani. Absolutely zero engagement with them.
