@inflics: Why is Pakistan’s national anthem written in heavily Persianized Urdu? Some say it is Persian. Historians say it is Persianized Urdu. But one thing is certain. It was a deliberate choice made in 1947. A choice that some historians claim was made to carry 1,000 years of Islamic civilization in just a few words. The anthem is not just music. It is a statement of identity. Do you think it is Persian or Persianized Urdu? Drop your take below.
