Hi,

Learning a language is an experience in itself and when it comes to a language of such a rich historical value, it only adds up to your personality and life experiences. You get to read literature of a totally different domain, understand the culture of several countries where the language is of primary use.

Urdu is spoken by a large portion of the Indian population, but only by one community. With the popularity of English and Hindi, knowledge of Urdu is becoming more limited. Because there aren't many candidates, it will be easier to find work. Though there are few job opportunities, they are plentiful.

You could work as a professor, a translator, in MNCs, or as a journalist at an Urdu publishing house. Learning a language has only advantages. Because Urdu is a living language, learning it can be extremely beneficial. Historians and sociologists would benefit from an Urdu doyen.

Outside of India, especially in the UAE, the scope for Urdu is greater. It is a widely spoken language in Pakistan, the Middle East, and many other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Canada. As a result, finding work is easier in those countries. You may be able to find work in multinational corporations in Arab countries. You could also work in local journalism and news organisations.
