Abstract
This article examine Pakistan's educational and linguistic policies and how they impact the country's sociolinguistic landscape. The study found a complicated relationship between educational language and social identity in Pakistan. The descriptive method analyzes Pakistan's historical, social, and linguistic contexts to evaluate policy-making decisions. It also explains why the two languages, Urdu and English, were proclaimed the state's official languages, ignoring the newly constituted nation's local regional dialects. Data were gathered from secondary sources such as the Sindh Public Library, Sindhi textbooks, news articles, Google Scholar, and published articles. According to the study's findings, a more inclusive language policy that recognizes and promotes regional languages could help bridge Pakistan's linguistic divide and foster a stronger sense of national identity. It is essential for policymakers to prioritize language diversity and inclusion in order to promote unity and understanding among all citizens. The article concluded and recommend that language politics in Pakistan have exacerbated existing social tensions and hampered the country's ability to achieve true national unity, particularly in Sindh province, where the Sindhi language is widely used
