Naseeruddin Shah claims Sindhi is no longer spoken in Pakistan
Shah's ignorant claims have left the Pakistani tweeps going berserk!
Naseeruddin Shah claims Sindhi isn’t spoken in Pakistan!
Bollywood star in a promotional interview with Tried&Refused Productions for his latest TV series Taj, bluntly claimed, “Sindhi is, of course, no longer spoken in Pakistan”.
For Naseeruddin Shah and others unserved, Sindhi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by more than 30 million people in the Pakistani province of Sindh. The language has official status in the Sindh province.
Meanwhile, Sindhi is also spoken by a further 1.7 million people in India, where it is a scheduled language, without any state-level official status.
And Shah’s ignorant claims have left the Pakistani tweeps going berserk!
Someone must educate Naseeruddin Shah ji that Sindhi is spoken and we have Sindhi media and read our Sindhi literature.
I think he doesn’t know about our land Sindh. So, please Naseeruddin Shah Ji, humble piece of advice: don’t comment on any issue when you are not sure about… https://t.co/IOi0DGEaTE— Veengas (@VeengasJ) June 6, 2023

India has 121 languages & 270 mother tongues. whereas, there are 77 languages in Pakistan (68 are native and 9 are not). As an Indian coming from a land of languages, he should be more cognizant (also abt sensitivity towards maa boli). Fyi, approx 14% -18% ppl speak sindhi. https://t.co/hbE1EUFM5H

The problem is when we assume that a person with expertise over one thing has expertise over everything. Worse is when they are asked questions that go beyond their expertise. https://t.co/yQjZll8y4q
