Damn, I have zero say in what script the Maharashtrians want to choose for Marathi language. Stop misquoting me. But I do believe a progressive government (which India will never see in another two decades) should romanize all the languages
Not true, I’m almost confident the next elections will see a new govt, A coalition govt. but a new one.
I also agree with the Romanizing of the language for purposes of education.
But the scripts, both Hindi and Urdu have their charm and should be promoted equally.
When did the highlighted happen?
Yes, why not? The Tamils, Bengals and Gujaratis are already learning a different script which is not the same as Hindi. Why can't Marathi kids do the same? They needn't learn Hindi at all except for spoken communications.
In the hypothetical situation the Marathi kids learn Nastaliq (Anjuman-e-Islam students in Mumbai do it despite being Maharashtra Board), they can also code-switch to Marathi language in Devangari script if it's a part of the curriculum
Am I sensing that your sole gripe is with the language Hindi and its nationalization here? Not the education reforms in general?
