@kathirikkakat@shrutammegopaya Well, it is simplified Sanskrit. It can and does inherit almost Sanskrit vocabulary.
Other language which can be a candidate of a lingua Franca is Sanskrit. That’s why constitution assembly voted in favor of Hindi over Sanskrit
@RishiJoeSanu@dhume The problem of English as lingua Franca is that it is eating our languages alive. We are not creating new knowledge in our languages. Smart and educated people are now shifting to English in all sciences. So the Tamil politicians aversion to Hindi is actually bad for Tamil too.
@dhume@MilanBrahmbha11 Sometime many English supporters claim that India couldn’t have been a economic power or scientific power without English, that is one reason China or Japan is quoted
@dhume The reason southern states ( actually it was only one state Tamilnadu) were Ok with English as lingua Franca because elite already knew English because British “imposed” it. Had india not been colonized, even southern states would have proposed Indian language as lingua Franca.
@the_mighty_mr@SadhguruJV How many Hindus were fighting for partition? Savarkar wrote some thoughts in a book as an intellectual exercise. It is the league who fought for it. Also Congress agreed to it.
@RMP_DeepakKumar@Profdilipmandal Our focus should be on economic growth. Even If Bania’s make billions, it doesn’t matter as long as plenty of good paying jobs being generated for people of India. All this talk of “brotherhood” “equality “ is just time wasting. We need “jobs” “jobs” “jobs”
@neha_aks@dhume Just being wealthy is not enough. A world class talent should feel attracted to immigrate to that country, Talented person should feel that he will be encouraged. That he being outsider, or his accent will not be a hindrance. That social environment will be conducive.
@WajSKhan Imran Khan missed the target and overplayed his hand. But he did a service to Pakistan, now army is called “property dealer”. Undercurrents of change in Pakistan can’t be controlled.
@dhume Imran Khan is not perfect. But he is the manifestation of the desire of middle class Pakistanis for change. They might not know how to fix Pakistan but better to start with someone like Imran Khan.
Imran Khan is not perfect. But he the manifestation of the desire of middle class Pakistanis for change. They might not know how to fix Pakistan but better to go start with somewhere..
