Its usually said that news channels like aajtak, starnews, indiatv, ndtv, liveindia, etc are hindi news channels but i have observed since a long time that they use shukria 100 times more than dhanyawaad….what is it..is it cool to speak urdu words and loutish or illiteracy to use "shuddh hindi" ?
one more thing, news anchors in india while talking to some paki ministers or mediapersons (for bombblasts, terrorism, etc) use "dhanyawaad" more often……but when talking to indians they try to show their competency of Urdu..why is it ? and do u need to be perfect in Urdu to become Indian Idol ? IF u dont have any knowledge of urdu (although u may be proficient in bengali,marathi,telegu,shuddh hindi,etc), can u become Indian Idol ?
Dont Indians have responsibility to popularise langauges that are indigenous , and not Urdu that is 90% persianized or arabianized…Is urdu not receiving undeserving importance in the media and bollywood ? what will happen to the indian languages that are on the verge of extinction or being adulterated with more and more persian word everyday…
will indians ever be able to speak as much urdu or persian as a pakistani or irani ? if not then why are they copying or trying to show "urdu is indian language" …although all the words that i have heard as "urdu" are of foreign origin
Probably to show off (they know a few words of another language).
It took me a long time to realise what they meant by Mezbaan Team during cricket updates.
It is also prevalent in Bengali news channels and newspapers too. Sometimes we find it very difficult to understand what they are trying to convey.
E.g. :- "Bandh mukabla-r naya dawai". None of these are Bengali words, yet they were the headline of a leading Bengali newspaper.
