Abstract
The 1973 Constitution recognises Urdu as Pakistan's only national language. It also promises to make it the official language of the state. Since the adoption of the Constitution, the process of Urdu's implementation is still far from complete. In many areas, it has not even started. The fifteen year time frame given in the constitution has passed almost thrice but English remains an administrative, economic and social necessity. The Supreme Court of Pakistan issued its verdict on September 8, 2015 directing the federal and provincial governments to make Urdu the official language within three months. The judges left the ball in the government's court - implement the Constitution or change it.
