In discussion with IIT Bombay as a result of the activism for a big machine translation enabled project.
Govts of major Asian countries invested billions in their languages for tech. Indian languages are great, they're not the problem. It is the slavery of the mind. Like yours.

The problem of upgrading Indian languages can be solved within 10 years with the @narendramodi govt investing Rs. 10,000 Crore with a focused approach to enable all higher and professional education in all major #IndianLanguages. This is peanuts in civilizational terms.
@narendramodi Language is infrastructure for the mind, it needs to be treated as infrastructure for development with massive investment. This is how China and Japan did it. @BSKoshyari
Meanwhile we are looking for 2 crores to jump start the IIT Bombay initiative.

@narendramodi @BSKoshyari Why don't you call that Mulayam's incompetence? How can a language be incompetent? You think that phonetic, Indian languages using Panini BNF advanced grammar are less "competent" than character-based Chinese/Japanese with 2000 letters in the alphabet?
@narendramodi @BSKoshyari The inability of these people to think is stunning.
English technical words are being *invented* all the time. What happens in Japanese? They *invent* words. Across the world, govts set up committees to do this. Indian govt hasn't invested, it needs to.

@narendramodi @BSKoshyari No that was "invented" to show how dumb creating words is.
But Chinese have their own word for internet, for bus. No one understands these simple English words there. Inventing creates cultural continuity with existing concepts and vocabulary.
