straight from the heart of the people. But it pains me much when such a sweet language is dubbed as a language of a specific community. The fact is whatever the language may be it comes into being with reference to its use among the masses. Be it Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi or any other language, they are spoken by masses dwelling in a specific region irrespective of the religion or faith of the people. Similarly, Urdu is a language of masses and its beauty lies there. Very essence of a language is bound to die, if it is dubbed the tongue of specific community or for that matter caste or creed.
