form the basis of cultural identity of Pakistan along with Urdu. With the declaration of urdu as the

with Islam . Several sufi poets, such as Shah Abdul Latif and Schal Saramast Wrote Sindhi verse.
Therefore, it was important to Promote it. Pashto is spoken in Khyper Pakhtunkhawa and its
Literature Carries a strong element of resistance against foreign rule. Such an element of resistance
is quite visible in the poetry of Khushhal Khan Khattak and Rehman Baba. This way Pashto became
associated with the Pakistan Movement. Balochi had traditionally been underdeveloped due to a
lack of its preservation in written form. Also , the people of balochistan had to be assured of their
significance as a cultural unit of Pakistan and so, It had to be a promoted and has been.
“Language Is the road map of a culture. It tells
you where there people comes from and
where they’re going”.
