1. My religion is not spoken of or relevant here so please don't make assumptions, as you have no support for your claim.
2. Allah = God in Arabaic, Khuda = God in Persian, so assuming you are muslim I hope you recognize this quote: "an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab..." (if you don't know who said it I suggest you do some research). You can easily draw the conclusion that it doesn't matter what language you speak.

3. Saying Allah doesn't necessarily make you a muslim (pre-Islamic pagans believed in and used the word Allah). And thus using another name for God doesn't necessarily make you non-muslim.
4. The trend in changing from Khuda to Allah in Pakistan etc is a political issue that stems from the former military rule of religious conservative Zia-ul-Haq 1977-1988. He thought the use of Allah more religiously correct than Kuda.
So please, my friend, don't let yourself be manipulated.

Gaaon ke nazdeek jo teela (hill) hai , ooo (uss) ke paas (near there). You got it right this is how they speak in villages in Northern India. Even though these variations are intelligible to native speakers of Urdu/Hindi, use of such words shows backwardness (lack of education). And as far as other similar ghetto words are concerned, they are just too many because there are so many dialects of hindi spoken in Northern India however,they are more like broken Hindi.

@Altafzaman Yes I actually agree with you, don't see him as very religious but he's usually associated with "religious conservative". Can you tell me what part he played in Afghan-Russian war, I'm not very well read in that... only ever heard about the USA's involvment

@Yaiyasmin Great response Yasmin. BTW, I do not believe Zia was a religious conservative. He used the religion for his politico-military purpose against the Russians in Afghanistan (with US as the puppeteer) and against the Indians in India. Unfortunately, he has left behind a not so good legacy for Pakistan and all Pakistanis will have to work hard to get rid of that.
I'm not interested in learning Urdu at all, I only watch your oral vids cuz you're sooo pretty! :D though I like your tour videos when you show us new places.
