Abstract
The paper establishes that Urdu has been used as lingua franca and as
a medium of instruction throughout Kashmir, for a long time. The semi
independent region Poonch had adopted Urdu as the official language since
1892.
Urdu has been the medium of instruction in the state of Kashmir and
the Committee comprising Dr. Zakir Hussain, who later became the
president of India, and khaja Ghulam us Syedain, in its report endorsed the
use of Urdu as the medium of instruction, in the state. Glency Committee
appointed by the Maharaja Hari Singh, prior to the Zakir Hussain
committee had also recommended the use of Urdu as the medium of
instruction in Kashmir. The paper with this back ground, establishes the
wide spread usage of Urdu and its utility for the Kashmiries and a bright
future of Urdu in Kashmir.
