"Hindustan azad mulk ho"

Interesting lanaguage in Nehru's Constituent Assembly speech. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:45, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In English, those couple of sentences would read: "What foundation principles are there in this resolution? First: That India be an independent country." He is using the subjunctive case. Ho = be.

What is more impressive though is his near-perfect enunciation of both Perso-Arabic words (maqsad (مقصد), not maksad; qism (قسم) not kisam; Gaur (غور), not gaur; ba'Z (بعض) i.e. "some" not "baaj"; paiGaam (پيغم), not paigaam; dimaaG (دماغ), not dimaag; aaKhir ( آخر), not aakhir or akheer; taaqat (طاقت), not taakat, ... and so forth but also mindful that it is "shakl (شکل) not shaql," in the manner of some who overdo the Urduesque speech.). Also note his Hindi ghoshRna, not ghoshna. There is no political leader around today with that ability, not to mention his near-native English speech. Thanks for posting.

The Hindi form was intended for the use of Hindus, and was derived from Urdu by ejecting all words of Persian or Arabic origin, and substituting them with words either borrowed from Sanskrit or derived from the old primary Prakrit.^[1]
