Abstract

Language does not only express ideas but is also reflective of social behaviors. One can easily notice that several social discriminations are constantly being transmitted through derogatory words, idioms and phrases. This article seeks to divulge various forms of discrimination, not only informing daily social communiqué but registered by dictionaries as well. A cursory look at various repertoire of Urdu language and literature will show that physically & mentally challenged people have been regarded as being unattractive in their facial expressions as well as physical structure.
