Abstract
A few decades back, means of communication was just
print media, i.e. newspapers, then it included electronic
media, i.e., radio and television, and now social media has
become a big part of it, like Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram etc. Hence, its scope grew wider and
communication has gone speedier. These means of
communications are making masses aware of the current
affairs in a very effective manner.Moreover, they provide
entertainment to them. In addition, they are transmitting
knowledge of every field like literature, religion, politics,
etc. however, there is a negative aspect of this activity, too,
that is, Urdu means of communications are using English
words, phrases, idioms, sentences ,and proverbs in
abundance, though their Urdu substitutions are available.
This trend of using English words, phrases etc. is big
question mark on the progress of Urdu. The research article
under study deals with the use of English words, phrases
etc.
