Nice name, dude, although jhamela has a more familiar ring.

There are forces increasing the distance between languages on both sides of the border, and forces bringing them closer. In India, urdu in Devanagari script is becoming very popular and has a great future.

``The new Pakistani leadership with its vision of “Enlightened Moderation” in the masses can be a prominent force behind this revolution``

Is this a bit of biting sarcasm? Or is the author truly serious? The Chaudharies of Gujrat are the epitmoe of Enlightened Moderation? Or is it the president who does not Utaro his Wardi because the emporor does not have any clothes? This piece is pure fluff, lotsa fancy words without a concrete point.
