Answers.Body: <p>As others have said, CiviCRM either wants a first and last name or an email address.  You appear to have just a single name field and no emails.</p>
  <p>I'm not familiar with naming in Urdu. Can you split the name into two parts and create a 'first name' and 'last name' field?  Does that make any sense for Urdu names?</p>
  <p>If not, you will need a workaround either by creating a fake last name or email for everyone.</p>
  <p>Longer term, it would be worth raising the question as to whether the current requirements are appropriate for global usage. I don't see any intrinsic reason why those requirements could not be relaxed.</p>

Comments.Text: In the right-hand column there one of the fields needs to be either Last Name or Email. So on the screen before that where you choose the fields, try it with "Last Name" instead of where you picked "First Name".
