Was genuinely surprised at how many there were in Barcelona
I live in North Carolina and they're all over the place here

South Sudan?

>>215756822
Because it will make literally hundreds of millions of people seethe and could even result in a separatist movement (language policy was a big reason why Bangladeshi separatism from Pakistan happened too)

>>215756864
Go to any poor African country and visit a supermarket. If it's a former English colony there is a 90% chance it is run by an Indian (Lebanese if it's a former French colony)

urdu and hindi is similar
I mean create a new conlang and new name, indonesian is just simplified malay

>>215756923
The Urdu is not the issue. For everyday language Hindi and Urdu are functionally identical. The issue is the South Indian languages that are completely unrelated to the Indo-Aryan languages. Tamil speakers believe that their language is the oldest on earth and HATE faving Hindi imposed on them.
You can't "conlang" this away, modern standard "Shuddh Hindi" is a conlang anyway, it's standardized Khariboli with Persian vocab taken out and replaced with Sanskrit

Because it's a made up nation. Worse than even Belgium in this department.

Sanskrit has religious and caste connotations now that it didn't use to have before. 2500 years ago, many people spoke Sanskrit, but it was already separating into vernacular Pali and formal religious Sanskrit by the time of the Buddha in 500 BCE. Since then Sanskrit was only a lingua franca until the 1200s/1300s, then it just became a religious language for Brahmins in temples.
Trying to encourage it again is commonly seen by non-Brahmins as imposing dominations they feel they were breaking free from 70 years ago

nigga my nation is also made up

caste autism truly has held back india potential

>>215757303
Yeah but you guys are far less annoying and nationalistic in person and online.

>>215757303
There's a lot of things that have held back India, but I will say it's a miracle that it's still together. Everybody, including Britain, was expecting it to collapse into civil war by 1950 at the very latest, which is why they were in such a hurry to pack up and leave - they didn't want to be stuck managing a series of giant communal riots and separatist movements destroying the Raj while they were still in control. With Gandhi's civil disobedience movement, they hardly made any money from it anyways so there was no point holding on anymore.

There was a guy who fasted unto death for 56 days to get linguistically organized states post independence, that's what caused madras state to be divided into Tamil Nadu, where tamilians live, karnataka where kannadas live, so on and so forth, also Hindi can mean anything from Bhojpuri to awadhi to mewari in North India, they're just classified as a dialect of Hindi for government purposes even tho some of them are older than hindi

>>215757254
Nobody actually "spoke spoke" sanskrit even 2500 years ago, sanskrit is the "written" version of the spoken language, highly technical with ultra specialized vocabulary, the very name means "well formed" since putting millennia old hymns and wisdom literature on paper was considered to be a sacred act, so it had to be near perfect grammatically, what people 2500 years ago spoke was wildly different, just like how the vernacular "Hindi dialects" have such vocabulary that sounds different but still have sanskrit roots, still it sounds very different when compared to "purified" sanskrit vocab of Hindi

I have never seen an indian/muslim person irl
I saw my first black person and asian person irl at 20 when I went to the capital of the country

>like the jews did with hebrew then
Hebrew was easy to revive since it was a liturgical language that all dialects like Yiddish are derived from tho

>>215758777
>that all dialects like Yiddish are derived from tho
Lol no. Yiddish is German with some Hebrew religious terminology thrown in.

>>215758792
Stil, I believe that the reason why the revival of Hebrew was successful was because it was the only thing that unified all the Jews through their Judaic background.

Can't say the same for India memeing Sanskrit the same way the Chinese did with Mandarin when half of your population speaks and writes in a different language and even that half is split between quarters of people speaking and writing in different language. All while trying to make sure that whatever you do don't send a message to them and inciting them into balkanizing India.

>>215758865
The language revival meme is funny for two reasons. First, Hebrew is the ONLY successfully revived language in human history, and second, people seem to think a language policy that works for 10 million people will work just as well for 1.5 billion people

>>215758900
>and second, people seem to think a language policy that works for 10 million people will work just as well for 1.5 billion people
Yea. It's crazy how anons tend to hyperfixate on the result but not analyzing the amount of legwork needed to actually get the result and how that legwork changes on a contextual basis so they end up recommending a "one size fit all" suggestion.

>India–North Korea relations (Korean: 인디아-조선민주주의 인민공화국 관계), also called Indian-North Korean relations or Indo-North Korean relations, are the bilateral relations between India and North Korea. Both countries have growing trade and diplomatic relations. India maintains an embassy in Pyongyang, and North Korea has an embassy in New Delhi.

the british empire is the most evil empire in human history solely because they didn't make indians extinct when they had the chance

The British need to apologise. Long before they themselves became jeeted, they made the following countries jeeted, against their wills

>Singapore
>Trinidad and Tobago
