The history of Urdu

"Lughat-e-Kishwari is an authentic Urdu Dictionary compiled by Saiyad Tasadduq Husain.
In which the meaning of word Hindu is written as thief, dacoit, footpad and slave."

Linguistically speaking, Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language. As such, it is a descendant of Old Indo-Aryan(Vedic Sanskrit) of ancient Vedic people.

There is no such thing as "Urdu grammar".Even the word Urdu as a language did not exist until 1800. Before 1800, Urdu itself was referred to as "Hindi".Urdu is Hindi in Arabic script without Tatsamas.

Hindi is written in Nagari which was used even before birth of Islam.

The word Urdu as a language first appears in the couplet of poet Mashafi (c.1800). Before this poet, Urdu itself as a name of language was was unheard of [ Source: A house divided: the origin and development of Hindi/Hindavi by Amrit Rai. Oxford University Press 1984]


check the census of 1911.The Majority of literate Hindus did not prefer Urdu (36/55). Majority of literate Sikhs also did not use Urdu(44/58). While almost all literate Muslims used Urdu (14/14). 
Even among literate Hindus, 70% could not read or write Urdu. 1941 census shows even lower numbers.
Close to 30 percent Hindu Sikhs could not read or write Punjabi but only Urdu. While all Muslims who were literate wrote only Urdu. So it shows Urdu was most dominating language of Punjab even in 1911.
In early 20th cent, literacy of Punjabis in Urdu was higher than their literacy in either Punjabi or Hindi. 



The word "Love Jihad" is of recent coinage. However, theme seems to have a history of 1000 years in India. The main theme of romantic poetry (Mathnawi) in Urdu and Persian was "A Muslim's love for Hindu girl,her conversion and victory of Islam over HInduism"
Even the love stories of Urdu poetry are about the Hindu girl's affair with the Muslim boy, her fight with her family and conversion. Screenshot excerpted from the book "Muslim Saints of South Asia" by Anna Suvorova, HOD of institute of Oriental studies, Routledge publication

The main theme of Urdu poetry is "Hindu Girl falling in love with Muslim boy and converting" in "The Hindus, An Alternative History" by Indologist Wendy Doniger with 5 decades of work. https://divinity.uchicago.edu/wendy-doniger 



This is historian William Dalrymple talking about the same theme. Now, these are all historians of high repute. The undeniable fact is that there was a proliferation of such proselytization oriented love themes in medieval Urdu love poetry. 




The society of Urdu poetry was full of pedophilia, slavery and opium Many of Ghalib's poems celebrate Pedphilia and sexual expolitation of young beardless slave boys

By late 19th century, Urdu society became so depraved that Urdu poets like Hali made it their mission to purge all the vulgarity and "boy-love poems" celebrated by the likes of Mirza Ghalib 

Mirza Ghalib himself kept many boy slaves . Forget about the poem or its interpretation. Boy slaves continued to be sold like water in Urdu heartlands until British put an end to slavery 
Urdu society of 19th century hailed Ghazni as a righteous king and establisher of Islam in Indian subcontinent It also celebrated the relationship of Muhammad Ghazni with his slave Malik Ayaz.

A 19th century painting from Urdu heartland celebrates their relationship. (Not shown here owing to the nature of the content).

Urdu literature until 1880 had more love songs on young boys than women Male sex slaves were powerful and won military victories.Women sex slaves were treated badly.

Khilji himself did not let women be his lifetime sex slaves. Once past their prime, women in sex harems were simply thrown into the fire.
Young male sex-slave Malik Kafur was a Hindu boy. He was abducted, castrated, converted and sold at a whopping price of 1000 dinars.

Sufi lovers were not homosexual. They were Pedophiles. Naẓar ila'l-Murd("Contemplation of the beardless") is a Sufi practice of "spiritual realization". Sufis inundated Urdu poetry with a lot of Pedophilic poems and medieval Mughal art had numerous Pedophilic depictions.

Begum Aizaz Rasool was a member of Muslim league. She was actively involved in splitting India. She stayed back and was made member of constituent assembly that drafted the constitution. She pushed for Muslim reservations and Urdu as National language. She was awarded Padma Bhushan in 2000. She was awarded Padma Bhushan in 2000 for her work in "minority welfare".

For 70 years until 370 was revoked, Urdu was imposed on them. Urdu was the only official language in Ladakh where nobody could speak Urdu which was completely alien to them.

British colonial policy of encouraging Urdu, resulting in resentment. https://twitter.com/sukarma000/status/1282688965531676672
