Bihar’s education department has eliminated the status of Urdu language as a regular subject in the syllabus of Bihar School Examination Board. According to its fresh guidelines, Urdu will be taught as an optional subject in secondary schools and an Urdu teacher will be appointed in the school only if 40 students opt it as their subject.
Earlier Hindi, Urdu and other languages were treated as mother tongues and a teacher of every mother tongue was appointed in schools. Moreover, the condition of certain number of students opting the subject did not apply for appointment of any mother tongue teacher, Dr Khalid Mubashir, assistant professor at Jamia Millia Islamia’s Urdu department told Muslim Mirror.
However, in a notification issued to all education officers in Bihar, the state’s education department said that teachers for six subjects inluding Hindi should be appointed in every secondary school. Moreover, a teacher of “second language” should be appointed in the school if 40 students choose it as their subject. In its next circular, the department made it clear that Urdu will be treated as the second language and hence its teacher will be appointed only if 40 students choose it as their subject.
Prof. Mubashir said that it was “sad” that rules have been framed to eliminate Urdu like Persian and other languages. He urged people to raise voices for withdrawal of the education department rulings.
Similarly, representatives of several Muslim organisation have jointly called for withdrawal of the rulings and restoration of Urdu as a regular subject in the Bihar School Examination Board. The organisation include Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiat Ulama-e-Bihar, Imarat Sharia, Edara-e-Sharia and Jamiat Ahle Hadith.
Students are already burdened with learning multiple languages. Why burden them more? Hindi and English are must subject in Bihar. No one should object to these two if they are Indians. Why burden them with another compulsory language? That too at the cost of tax payers.
Urdu is the language of poetry. This language is holy. Urdu should not be thought as optional subject.
Urdu language is literature language not any holistic language …if hindi can be taught in schools then why not urdu..most of our literature were well know of urdu .if u look back u will notice for sure .I think evry indiviauls should learn literature. Whether it is hindi or urdu
Urdu is the mother tongue of millions of Biharis just like Maithili, hence no one is burdening the hindi speakers, they can learn hindi but native urdu speakers through this new regulation are being forced to drop their mother tongue.
As you said *Hindi and English are must subject in Bihar. No one should object to these two if they are Indians. Why burden them with another compulsory language?*.
Well, Why not it must be implemented in all over the India, why only in the Bihar?
Since everyone living in the India, is an indian, very good. So, Why not frazzle ALL the languages all over the India, other than Hindi and English.
So come on.
This is injustice with urdu language

Why attack only urdu and not other languages. In the name of burden they are attacking something else

Actually burden is education department, they seems to be illerate, dumb, many urdu books are translated in hindi and vice versa. Many hindu writers earned their living by urdu poetry, etc. They ate actually harming hindi.

Sanskrit me do students bhi Hain to unko teacher appoint kiya jata hai Urdu bhi Hindustani language hai is ke saath na insafi ? Yek zamane mein Sanskrit upper class ko chod kar kisi ko seekhne ki ijazat nahi thi. Ab zabardasti seekhne per majboor Kiya ja Raha hai sab ko. Kiyun ? Urdu Sam logon ko bhasha thi, Hai, Rahegi. Ye hamare Desh ki modern & Sweetest lingua franka language hai.
