Urdu Language Becomes New Political Flashpoint in J&K

Imagine there's a test for a job in Jammu and Kashmir, and it includes knowing Urdu.

Some people want to get rid of this Urdu part.

The BJP, a political party, wants this change, saying it's unfair.

Other parties in the area disagree, saying it's important to keep Urdu because it's been the language of official records for a long time, since before the country was divided.

They believe that removing the Urdu requirement would damage the region's history and culture since many important documents are written in Urdu.
