Discuss the Hindi= Urdu controversy in 250 words

Answer 1

THE HINDI - URDU CONTROVERSY

 In the United Province, Urdu was the court language. all the petitions to the officers and to the courts had to be submitted in Urdu. It was opposed by some sections of the society as Urdu was not known to all.
The government( British Government in specific) instructed that all the petitions should be submitted in Hindi and the official announcements to be made in both Hindi and Urdu.This hurt the feelings of the Muslims and they opposed it.
Due to this, there was ill feelings between the Hindus and the Muslims. the Hindi-Urdu controversy also became a cause for the formation of Muslim League in 1906.
