Governor's Devanagari Script Proposal Criticized for Diversity Threat

Governor's Devanagari Script Proposal Criticized for Diversity Threat

Imagine if everyone in India was told to write in the same alphabet, like how we write in English.

The Governor of Himachal Pradesh suggested this, wanting everyone to use the Devanagari script.

The article disagrees, saying India is special because of its many languages and different ways of writing.

It's like different art styles - each one is beautiful and unique.

Forcing everyone to use one script could make some languages disappear.

Instead of making everyone the same, the article suggests helping all the different languages thrive, like by teaching them in schools or using technology to translate them.
