Hindustani Vs Hindu: Gul???? - Page 10

A lot has already been written about the ridiculousness and OTT tracks of QH because the writers are trying to chase TRPs rather than logic. Even though it annoys me that the writers have dumbed down various characters and taken the audience for granted, what's not acceptable to me is the inaccuracy and wrong information promoted on the show.

I have always defended the writers and creatives of this show but today when Nikhat used'Hindustani' for 'Hindu,' I lost my cool.

Gul wants to remove misconceptions about Muslims in India. Then why have your writers make such a big mistake?

Gul, are you not a Hindustani then? Last I heard, Hindustan was a secular country with all religions represented equally.

I hope Gul takes this issue with the writers because as an Indian, it's totally unacceptable.

Hey guys

This post was not made to start internal conflicts. It was an oversight by the PH. I am sure they didn't do it intentionally but as a responsible media house, they should have paid heed to this blunder

Chapter closed

Peace out...Phir bhi dil hai bhartiya (I will refrain from using hindustani) :)

@BOLD. Sorry to barge in, but I don't think Hindustani is a purer form of Hindi, the opposite in fact. I am copying and pasting from a previous post: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/83870566

"The language of North India and also Pakistan before Independence was 'Hindustani', a mixture of Hindi and Urdu. Colloquially this is what is still spoken in large parts of India, and this is what you hear in Bollywood films.

Hindustani derives from Persian, Arabic, Sanskrit and Turkic. At the time of India's independence Hindustani was being groomed by the British to be the official language of both India and Pakistan, but India opted to use Hindi with the Devanagri script as one of its (now 23) official languages, and Pakistan Urdu with the Perso-Arabic script."
