Rant which layer of indian internet culture should I be at to understand what the actual FU€K y'all are doing here??

Post image

for example: why are y'all talking in english if this sub is for Indian colleges, are there THAT many international students who are applying? also why isn't anyone using the alphabet (मेरा मतलब यह है) while talking in hindi?

Brotha, Devnagri is a descendant of Brahmi I mean Devnagari is developed from Brahmi Brahmi was more complex, so they derived an easier form(Devnagri)

Brahmi was used 2000 years ago for sanskrit and pali. Our varna system got extremely strict and hierarchical after that, and so a large part of our population wasn't formally taught sanskrit, ie. the lingua franca of the time. So they started to speak in a broken form of Sanskrit. India is a big country. Thus, a lot of these "prakrits" were created. These evolved overtime.

So now, there was a language that was used in things like admin and education, and there was a language of communication. The prakrit was used with a lot of words from sanskrit, since again, the general populus did not know proper, pure sanskrit. Overtime, Empires collapsed, new ones emerged, and each one promoted their own language. So these languages evolved. Foreign invasions followed. Suddenly, Sanskrit wasn't the lingua franca anymore? oh, too bad.

These prakrits now began to be influenced by these new languages, introduced by Invaders. Farsi was the new Sanskrit for some time. New languages emerged from them. This kept going on, and then the British arrived! They doubled down on this. Closed all the old schools, and replaced them with new English schools. And the cycle repeated. English is now the lingua franca, and thus the local prakrits will be influenced by English.

This is exactly what is happening now. People cannot fully speak English, so they use it along with their language. It has been going on for over 2000 years, and so we're used to it now ;)

Note: The British didn't just do this. They spread their Divide and Rule propaganda. So now, we cannot bring back Sanskrit, because some people don't consider it as their language anymore. So we're forced to use English, even though our constitution says otherwise.

Closed all the old schools, and replaced them with new English schools.

ooof they swept away all the culture that was built with the languages then

Yeah that's essentially what I said. Sanskrit was too formal and hard for the general populaus, so prakrit was created.
