The article explores the genealogies of Muslim cultural and Urdu language reform in late nineteenth century colonial India and traces its post-colonial trajectories in contemporary public culture in Pakistan. It does so by analysing the language and gender politics of Urdu in two Pakistani TV dramas,  Aangan Terha  ( Crooked Courtyard ), written by Anwar Maqsood and screened on the government-run Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) channel in 1984, and  Quddusi Sahab ki Bewah  ( The Widow of Mr. Quddusi ), scripted by Faseeh Bari Khan, which was telecast on ARY Digital, a global private satellite channel, in 2012. The article emphasises the gendered language and performative politics of Urdu and respectability in colonial and post-colonial South Asia.
