Literacy literally means "being well-versed with letters". Literacy is inherent to almost every other Indian language, as evidenced by the fact that almost every other Indian language has its own script. I am of course omitting dialects, which often do not have a script.

Shri Shreyas Munshi, an accomplished and highly qualified linguist, worked hard to develop PARSIL - one script for all Indian languages.

Since PARSIL is basically phonetic, now, even dialects can also have PARSIL as the script.

His book is now published by Cambridge University press, Hyderabad India.

He shared some extracts and very kindly permitted me to put them on my blog-post at - https://samskrutacharchaa.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/parsil-script-for-all-indian-languages/

Readers can interact with him at his email ID -

SL Abhyankar,


It appears to me that your motive is to promote your own site, rather than having the members in mind.

A genuine community spirited posting would surely provide a direct link, or at least an ISBN.


  I for one, am very interested in such matters, but...

Have you Googled for PARCIL , yourself?

Phonetically, parcil reads as parcel to Google.

Even a specific search of Cambridge University press, Hyderabad India, reveals now't.


  Thanks!

Dear Mr. Eddie Haddley/ Mr. Taff Rivers,

I am amused by your charge of my wanting to promote my site ! Do I have my site ? What I have is a wordpress-blog. I do not get any pecuniary gains by promoting anything. I am not interested either.

I am not interested in any name or fame either. My interest is only in "knowledge" ज्ञानम् If people call me a scholar or so, I ask myself, "Does that make me a scholar ?" I am fully aware that my knowledge is so very limited. But, yes, I have great yearn for it. So I keep reminding myself "Woods are lovely dark and deep, ... miles to go before I sleep"

If I get to know of something interesting happening in the context of Sanskrit and something, which can be of interest to like-minded people, or something, which would provoke a thought-process, I share it. That is why the this particular blog is for संस्कृतचर्चा. My thinking is not just भद्राः क्रतवो आयन्तु but भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः

In fact I did appreciate your suggestion, made by you in another message of yours to me, that ISBN, if available should be given. I got it from Mr. Shreyas Munshi and have added it in my post.

Let us keep Mr. Hadley, a healthy outlook, instead of seeing and suspecting non-existent ulterior motives. If भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतःspread of good thoughts will make the world a happier place. Let us do our bit towards that. I appreciate very much such spirit of the people, who started the googlegroup. If not with such spirit, why would one initiate such a group ?

सस्नेहम्

Comments against Abhyankarji are not warranted. I support Abhyankarji's opinions in this matter.

Taff,

   Even if you succeed in proving that SLA is promoting his blog / site here, how would it benefit you / us? He says that he isn't earning anything from his blog, but one may ask whether it is a sin to earn money while being of benefit to others?

   My humble request to you to be circumspect in your criticism.

Shrivathsa. B.

I am in agreement with Abhyankarji may his good work continue and he should not be bothered about comments from people who do nothing tangible for Sanskrit.

Sri Abhyankar's blog sites seems to me a pure labor of love.  I have learnt a lot and continue to learn a lot.   One of the premier bookmarks for Sanskrit for years for me and others, given the comments there.

Any implication otherwise is unfortunate.

धन्यवाद,
Sanju

Sir Abhyankar Ji;

For a long time I wanted to write this, but didn't dare:)  Sir, I want to declare myself as the President of your fan club.  (I am sure there is one; if not this missive should be considered as the beginning of it!!!)

I am rather Knowledge-challenged; but addicted to acquire it.  (I am sure at least some in this group are also just like me).  Sir, you are the "well" which supply the likes of me.  Of course, I don't understand everything that is posted -- I am like a pre-nursery kid trying to understand and enjoy rocket science!!  But you and many others in this group provide us the "paamaraas"  a taste of the nector.  Please accept my deeply felt gratitude for everything you do and have done and PLEASE continue -- and don't stop or even reduce whatever your inclinations impel you to do.

What else is there for me to say except ...Namo-Namaha to you.

Regards,

Iyengar

Mr.Rivers,
Google gave me the same answer.

One may compare BHARATI and  PARSIL with Gujanagari .
BHARATI and PARSIL gets headline in newspapers but not Gujanagari. Why?
