The issue

Dear Urdu Lover,

Hope everyone is doing well during this lockdown crisis Don’t forget “STAY HOME STAY SAFE”

As you know by keeping your relationship with your beloved language of URDU means you

  •  Increase your Family Bonding both here and back home  
  • Keep your Cultural Identity,
  • Become an Active Community and
  • Keep your legacy alive. 

Remember, your children need it more than you.

SO WE URGE ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PLEASE PUT URDU AS YOUR LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME (question no 20) SO THAT OUR PRIDE OUR MOTHER TONGUE “URDU” IS IN TOP 10 LANGUAGES IN AUSTRALIA.

By learning the URDU language, your child can communicate with over 2 Billion people in Pakistan, India, Fiji, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE & Middle East, Nepal, Burma, Iran, South Africa and all other parts of the world.

We would like to remind our community members that by this week or next week you will receive a census booklet in your mail. Kindly please fill it either online https://census.abs.gov.au/ or written form and post it to the mentioned address, because Census is the most comprehensive snapshot of the country it not only plays an important role but it also tells the story of how we are changing demographically.

It counts every household and every person in Australia. Census data is used to plan and deliver services across Australia.

SO WE URGE ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PLEASE PUT URDU AS YOUR LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME (question no 20) SO THAT OUR PRIDE OUR MOTHER TONGUE “URDU” IS IN TOP 10 LANGUAGES IN AUSTRALIA.

Also, please mention Religion ISLAM (do not leave that vacant at any cost) as it will have a profound impact on the census.
