We can save Hindi by legitimizing the Roman Hindi script. This will also have a unifying effect on the nation as it will bring English and Hindi speakers closer. It will also allow other regional languages to become more linked to each other and to English, by virtue of a common script.

Chetan Bhagat

Dear Friends,

I am an ordinary fellow like you. I am just able to speak the so called "good" Hindi and Bangla, and I've almost mastered the art of speaking the Sanskrit-influenced Shuddh Hindi. However, I thoughtfully (ideologically) disagree with their usage. I can feel the inconvenience of the masses in reading the native texts in native scripts.

Yes, you're right. I am opposed to the usage of Indic scripts or lipis. They may seem attractive and culturally worthy, but at the end how're we benefitted from it? Multiple scripts and over them the complex language and orthography methodologies forcefully detach you from your favourite mother tongue, even in its simplest form.

Scientifically speaking, simultaneous usage of two or multiple scripts can be dangerous for a layman's psychology. As in the case of Uzbekistan where Latin and Cyrillic are co-official.

“While my daughter has difficulty reading in Cyrillic and my 9 year-old son can’t read in it at all, it’s hard for me to read Uzbek books in the Latin script,” Kuldashev said. “It’s also difficult for me to read what my children have written.”

Uzbekistan: Dead Letter (Chalkboard)

It's with only one language in Uzbekistan, now think what about India. Increasing importance of English may be important but what about the status of the remaining Indian languages if not observed properly.

Therefore, for stabilization and progress, adoption of a reformed standard hand-friendly and modified Latin/Roman alphabet is necessary. It should be necessarily different and better from the current usage(s) of Roman in writing Indian languages.

I am myself a non-Hindi, but it's a pity shame that even my Hindi-speaking friends can't read Hindi properly and If people speak Hindi using different loanwords (words of foreign origin) how would I convey my message using those words which are very different to inscribe and in turn read in Devanagari script. Same goes for the other scripts.

Governments make worthless useless issues in defence of language heritage, no one has ever bothered the current usage of the languages in a positive way and in a scientific and proper manner.

Let it be Tamil script and Engish words; or Sanskrit words and Bengali alphabet, they make no match.

Even Devanagari in usage of Hindi has very minute discrepancies.

We have to reform.

So let's reform.

You take initiative, and a revolution is born.
