Hamid Ansari has said that the Languages enrich each other and a Language declines if it is not linked to the normal pursuits of life.

Addressing after releasing the book entitled “Justice with Urdu” authored by Justice Markandey Katju at a function here today, he has said that today Urdu is an international language as it is evident from the Internet.
