> Why do you believe that north indian language are nonsense?

Hindi language should first correct the pronunciation of words like "Baink" for Bank, "Baal" for Ball, "Daaktar" for Doctor etc. And then thinking of enforcing that language on rest of the country.

I am curious, why Samskrut is not used as a common language for India, like how Hebrew resurrected as a language of Israel? With English as second language, and mother-tongue as the the third language. Samskrut has a treasure trove of important literature that not many in India understand!




the Jews were a people group, there is no such as 'Indian', there is nothing to resurrect since it never existed in the first place.


'Indian' is the same as 'Bharatiya'[1], which is as old as human civilization gets.

And I agree with OP that Sanskrit should be revived in India like the Jews did for Hebrew in Israel.
