Unfortunately, vested interests dubbed it as the language of Muslims only, conveniently forgetting the contributions of Brij Narain `Chakbast`, Daya Shankar `Naseem`, Prem Chand, Ratan Nath `Sarshar`, Raghupati Sahai `Firaq` Gorakhpuri, Anand Narain `Mulla`, Krishna Bihari `Noor`, Krishan chand, Rajender Singh Bedi, Gopi Chand Narang, Kalidas Gupta Raja, Raj Bhadoor Gour, Guljar, Santi Ranjan Bhattacharya and hundreds of other non-Muslim poets and writers. We also know that Urdu is one of the great national language and among the twenty-two (22) languages listed under Schedule VIII in our constitution. This sweet language is the mother language of more than hundred millions people of this country.

The City Kolkata (Calcutta) once considered, one of the biggest center of the language like Delhi Lucknow and Hydrabad. The plight of Urdu in Kolkata (Calcutta), The Mother Land of about twenty lakhs Urdu speaking People is very pathetic like the condition of Urdu in the whole state of West Bengal. It is note able that Kolkata (Calcutta) is the city where the first Urdu Newspaper started publication in the year 1825 AD as “ Jame-Jahan Numa” (Editor Hari Prasad and Owner Lala Sadasukh). The first Translation house (for Urdu) and the first Urdu Press also established in West Bengal. “Fort William College” (the building presently known as ‘Writers Building’) also established during British regime in this city, who’s contribution for the Language and Literature is unforgettable. The Calcutta Madrasa also established in 1780 AD. This Madrasa is first of his kind in the whole country. Though Urdu medium schools are available all over the country including in West Bengal. Colleges and universities are also available for higher study in this language. But the problem is that the ratio of school to the population is very low, even it is a fact that Urdu medium schools are still not available in so many Mohallahs and grams, where large number of Urdu speaking people leaves.

The language, which gave us slogans Inquilab Zindabad, and patriotic songs like Sare Jahan Se Achcha Hindostan Hamara and Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai during the freedom struggle, became alien in its own land after independence as it became the official language of Pakistan, our sworn enemy. The educational scenario of Urdu speaking community in West Bengal is somewhat depressing. Things as they are do not but present a very gloomy outlook. The situation demands the attention of all those who uphold the right cause and large hearted enough to lend helping hand in solving the problems.

Urdu key taluq sey kuch bhaid nahi khulta Yeh Jashan yeh hangama kidmat hai key sazish hai Azadi-e-kamil ka ailan hua jis din Matub zaban theri gadhar zaban theri Jis ahed-e-siasat nay yeh zinda zaban kuchli Us ahed-e-siasat ko marhoomon ka gam kyun hai Ghalb jisay khaitay hain Urdu hi ka shahir tha Urdu pay sitam dha kar Ghalib pay karam kyon hai Yeh Jashan yeh hangama dilchasp khilonay hain Kuch logon ki koshish hai kuch log bahail jain Jo vada farda par ab tal nahi saktay hain Mumkin hai key kuch arsay iis jashan par tal jain yeh jashan mubarak ho par yeh bhi sadaqat hai Hum log haqeeqat key Aihsas sey aari hain Gandhi ho key Ghalib ho Insaf ki nazroon main hum doono key khatil hain doono key pujari hain. This was said by Sahir Ludhianvi during Jasn-e-ghalib in which Indira Ghandi was cheif guest, after that he was banned on AIR radio. Shayad yeh hukumat ki sazish hai ke kuchh log bhehal jai, jo aur wadon se nahi bhehal sakti.

In west bengal % of urdu speaking muslim is very low , most of the muslim population of bengal speaks in Bengali. it is vote bank politics. all politician except BJP and Shiv Sena always appease the muslims for vote bank . they do not think for the majority population. The majority hindu population should think ,before voting , about this type of anti hindu politician.
