Pressing Need For Urdu Tamil Connect

Muslim Murasu, September 2011

Urdu enjoys the pride of having ruled India for 800 years. Mughals developed this language passionately with full help from Hindus. It is one of the Indian languages. Apart from North Indian Muslims, Muslims from Andhra and Karnataka are also fluent in this language.
Language plays a vital role to give exposure to any issue at national level. Urdu is a sweet connecting language. North Indian Muslims are continuously holding esteem posts, thanks to their proximity to Delhi. Urdu becomes essential to meet and discuss a matter directly with Prime Minister, President, Central ministers and senior administrators. People in North India are fanatic about their language. Indian administration operates from New Delhi. It is not possible to win a favor or argument using Tamil language.
Tamilnadu leaders display dual characters. When they go to Delhi, they fully surrender to the language there. When they come to Chennai, they invent farcical hypocritical ideas about mother tongue and Tamil heritage.
Tamil culture, tradition, loyalties and pledges come handy in politics to hoodwink innocent Tamilans. Offsprings and wards of these leaders are not aware of Tholkappiyam, Kural, Silambu, doyen Avvai, Natrinai or Kurunthogai.
Tamil passion that was in its prime in the sixties was ravaged and decimated by political looters.
Those who seek to survive in Tamilnadu politics should learn expertise in the language of New Delhi. There is no other go. Local politics won’t help much.
Muslims are, basically, patrons and lovers of Islamism. A great treasure of Islamic knowledge is available in countless books in Urdu. It is impossible to be a complete Islamic preacher without being conversant in Urdu.
In Tamilnadu, Muslims speaking Urdu and those speaking Tamil are staying aloof and disconnected. Muhallas operate as isolated islands. There should be amicable understanding between Melapalayam and Ambur. Ilayankudi and Melvisharam should join hands in political domain.
Islamic preachers from Urdu should be introduced in Tamil Muhallas. Translated materials should flourish. It is essential to have Urdu-Tamil connect to survive and shine in religion, politics, economy, education and maintain influence.
