Neglect of Urdu

Sir,
The neglect of Urdu in our country is a matter of great concern. Urdu is a very fine and impressive language and can be written just like shorthand. Most of our old literature is in Urdu and not   knowing this beautiful language means to be bereft of its knowledge. Not only this, in the past, Urdu had been in language of  courts and most of the policemen make use of a good deal of Urdu words.
The Centre and State Governments should take steps to propagate and preserve  the language. It must be introduced  and taught in schools as a compulsory subject.
Yours etc….
