Thank you for editing Zindagi (TV channel) but I would like to inform you that the Zindagi channel's language can be considered Urdu and Hindi as well, both at the same time. If you go by linguistics, then they are part of a broad language known as Hindustani language. The evidence can be found in the article itself. Hindustani language is a polycentric language. It has two standard versions Modern Standard Hindi and Modern Standard Urdu. When spoken they are identical but when written they appear to be different, as Urdu is written in the nastaliq script and Hindi is written in the Devanagari script. Before the Partition of India, the terms Hindustani, Urdu, and Hindi were synonymous. However, the two languages started to separate when Urdu began to draw words from Persian, Arabic and Central Asian languages while Hindi began to draw words heavily from Sanskrit. And with independence,the use of the word 'Hindustani' declined, being largely replaced by 'Hindi' and 'Urdu'. Sociologically Urdu came to be identified with Muslims and Pakistan and Hindi with Hindus and India. But they are just the same language with different scripts. However recently the word Hindustani has been used for the colloquial language of Bollywood films, which are popular in both India and Pakistan and which cannot be unambiguously identified as either Hindi or Urdu. And same is the case for Zindagi. It airs Pakistani shows. And in Pakistan the language is known as Urdu. But when they begin airing in India, Indians may call the language Hindi. Thus, to avoid conflict the language is known as Hindustani. It is even correct to do so as the spoken form of both languages are same and in these shows the language is spoken not written. If it was an Urdu novel coming in India written in the nastaliq script, it can't be called Hindustani, that would be too general. To be specific the written form would be called Urdu. Linguists and scholars when referring to the spoken form use the word Hindustani. I hope that I was able to convey my message. If you want to reply please leave a talkback template on my talk page. Thank you! :) -- Tamra vidhir (talk) 08:18, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Your addition of "Hindu Terrorism" to several BLP pages.
BLP pages have strict guidelines, you may find them at WP:BLP. You need to find at least a few WP:SECONDARY WP:RELIABLE sources calling a person "Hindu Terrorist" before adding such a label on a BLP article, or for that matter, to any page. Thank you. -- AmritasyaPutra T 02:45, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
