Hey Dina Nath Batra, Have You Heard Yogi Ji Using Urdu Words?

Know your Urdu words.

“Shudh Hindi baba” at times (*cough pretty often cough*) uses Urdu words! #HawJiYogiJi!

Why are our netas so allergic to anything remotely associated with Urdu?

Yogi Adityanath does not consider Taj Mahal – one of the seven wonders in the world – as a true representative of Indian culture.

Dina Nath Batra, head of RSS-affiliate Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas, on Monday wished to remove Urdu, Arabic words from the NCERT school text books.

If our dear netas consider the language so cringeworthy then why are they using it themselves? It’s only fair that they stop using Urdu words, especially when interacting with the media. Right?

Or do they not realise that the words they are using are indeed Urdu and not Hindi. #Blasphemy.

We decided to scan through some of Yogi ji’s interview only to find that the “shudh Hindi baba” at times (*cough* pretty often *cough*) uses Urdu words! #HawJiYogiJi!
