Once Upon A Language

Peggy Mohan Literary Urdu is not adapted, in India, for modern discourse of a technical nature. So you choose: if it is emotional it will be in Urdu; if it is scientific it will be in Hindi; if it absolutely must be in common 'Hindustani', it will be trivial and depthless. You mustn't jump from branch to branch of this language tree. But intuition and fearlessness have a wav of cutting through these man-made strictures.
