Abstract
Discourse analysis is the most recent technique to understand and
examine the course of history and contemporary aspects of a certain society.
Urdu language has through many ages including colonial era before
reaching the present stage in Pakistan. It is unanimously understood that
Aligarh movement effected Urdu more than any other factor in the history
of India. This essay gives a brief analysis of the discourses that were
developed during this particular movement whether consciously or
unconsciously. The effects of these discourses on Urdu in Pakistan are of
great importance as we see that elite class in Pakistan still believes that
Urdu has to follow the path that has been established by English to survive
in the modern world. These elites are the people who are decision makers
and while setting any policy regarding language or medium of education
for young generations, just follow the path of the British officers who served
in India during Colonial age. This essay is basically an effort to look into
the matter from a different perspective.
