       @demha Yeah,  I honestly feel a bleak future only and  and insituions here are worse than useless to the point of actual hazard.The only indo aryan language with any dignity left in the present day is probably bengali but even they are just dragging themselves along, which is utterly pathetic considering tagore  had basically become the first  non euro to win a noble prize  for  his  work  in it.Honestly the country utterly failed in many important aspects of nation building and I  really see no way forward

       @demha the 3 South asia is a good case for how british rule was utterly hazardous lol.tho at least  in  the sociolinguistic cases in the indo aryan part I feel the whole turko-persian imperialism and it becoming a relgion identity thhing (more recent than folk give credit too) was an utter mess.Honestly the sociolinguistic stuff I feel was far more fatal than any of the brtuality they have been accused for

       @demha India has a unique mess of politics, it may be possible for me to do something but I'd have to be prepared to put my skin into stuff and have connections.And also given how the internet has gone to shit yet it becoming the vector for communication and with folk all addicted to reels and stuff it's a much more  draconian task.I do want to write some meaningful stuff but I need to sort out myself and matters quite a bittho honestly in general I'm halfway given to nihilism
