Abstract
What ails Urdu in India today? It is government apathy as much as lack of p rivate, non-government action. White the elite proponents of Urdu wait for somebody else to do something about the promotion of Urdu, there are many t hings which individuals or small groups can do. Those who love Urdu need to shake off the feeling of persecution and use the factors that work in favo ur of Urdu.
