Revival of Urdu

The Urdu language is undoubtedly the most widely spoken and understood in the Indian subcontinent. However, currently the language is seeing a decline in the quality. There could be various reasons of the decline.
One reason can be that the people are mixing more and more lingo from other languages in Urdu. Other than that, it is a fact that Urdu is not the mother tongue of most of the people of the subcontinent.
Therefore, such people find it extremely hard to develop any association to the Urdu language. They think that Urdu is just a foreign language imposed on them. Therefore, they just do not find themselves at ease in learning Urdu. They think that if they must learn a foreign language it should be the one that can land them at a good job. For example, they prefer to learn Arabic, which open the door to a plethora of job in the Middle East. On the other hand, they learn English, which lands them at job in the metropolitan area of the subcontinent. Alternatively, they learn Spanish, French, or Germen, which can land them at jobs in Europe.
So in such a situation what can lead to the revival of Urdu? Competent teaches should be appointed at the schools, so that the children grow up while learning Urdu. The masses must be told that the Urdu language is a reason and source of the national harmony. Thus for the sake of nationalism they must learn Urdu. With these measures, the revival of the Urdu will become inevitable.
