Elite Muslims meaning the language of the ulama, all the good books are in Urdu. Language is important, English has become a low language 'globalized' into a pigin English. Higher thoughts are difficult to express in English and many words in English are corrupted with Christian ideas...for example saying charity in English and saying sadaqa have completely different feelings associated with them. Sadaqa is rich, charity is like giving your old clothes to a begger...I cannot explain it. Faith and eman are other words that cannot translate well.

I live in a different planet according Br. Abu Zakir according to his line of reasoning!
The pakis here can't even speak urdu - they speak punjabi and Jehalami mirpuri and most bangali here can't speak bangali but a village langue of shylet.. There is no elite here but new money people!
I think Rasuallah (SAW) asked people to speak properly!! This is not to say there is no place for dialect but keep it within your home and don't demand the rest of the country man to speak the village dialect. This is what most sylheti demands and now they think just because one speaks english, they are better then bangali speakers.
