do folks back there still watch Doordarshan? do they have their own programming with movies and such?
>>73252689
When I was in India the cricket world cup was on, so I watched a lot of that. The adverts drove me fucking demented. They weren't bad, they just repeated over and over and over and over and over.
>>73255157
Don't think anyone watches Doordarshan anymore, not even in the villages. If it wasn't a public enterprise it would have been shut down long ago. Every state/region has its own DD though.
I watch DD Bharti for the classical music and occasional historical/cultural programs.
There's a new channel called Epic which is pretty good. They've acquired the rights of some of the old shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat. They also have these cool short storyline sketches regarding Indian mythology.

What are some tips for learning hindi?
Apart from trying to learn the daft alphabet.
>>73256589
Idk man. Just do what you would do to learn any other language.
With hindi you have an advantage because there is tons of media to consume. Movies, music and stuff.
>>73256589
Buy some kindergarten books
>>73256799

Yeah, I'm trying to learn some basics through rosetta stone then I'll start trying to learn through listening.

What are good resources to learn Sanskrit?
>>73261866
>or in case this is your first time
>>73263257
Why would you want to
>>73263257
We learned Sanskrit through Hindi. Don't know what sources are there for English or German native.
I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get your hands on stuff by Max Muller.
>>73263653
Is Sanskrit to Hindi what Latin is to English?
>>73263824
I guess. Although I don't remember much Sanskrit now. We only had Sanskrit for 3 years in school. The focus was on Hindi.
Hindi and Urdu might sound the same but Hindi has more of a Sanskrit background while Urdu has a more Perso-Arabic background.
We don't get to use Sanskrit in our day to day lives. I guess the only time I hear/say Sanskrit is when reciting prayers.
>>73259646
Its really not so difficult nowadays since what's spoken is really a Hindi-English creole. For all our masturbation over hindu culture and nationalism we sure don't give enough of a fuck about our languages to, for example, use the native words numbers beyond thirty or really anything beyond 5th grade vocabulary. And since we don't hace a good grasp on any one particular language we end up using tons of beleaguered fillers and gesticulations to make our point.
>>73263824
well we use latin for law and medical school but sanskrit is used more towards someone's culture and/or hobby. latin is also much easier
>>73264378
Yeah, I've noticed that. Doing the Rosetta stone stuff is quite funny sometimes, as you'll get a section where teaching the language is basically just saying words in English with a funny accent. At one point it kept telling me I was saying the word "car" wrong.
Though that may be because I can't roll my Rs.
Anyway, aspects of it don't seem too hard, so maybe I'll get to basic conversation stage after not too long.
>>73264378

Speak for yourself. I have to deal with baniya shopkeepers counting in hindi all the time.
On a similar note Tamils are again chimping over Hindi.

Good for them. Forced cultural assimilation is NWO tier cancer that is especially terrible for a country as big as ours. This Hindi nationalism meme is getting out of hand. Just use English as a lingua franca and let people maintain their native cultural spaces.
Is kursee hai

All over the place. Bombay, Goa, Aurangabad, Indore, Delhi, Agra, Manali, Dharamsala, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Darjeeling, Rishikesh, and a few other places too. I literally just flew to Bombay with no plan and went wherever I fancied. It was quite a nice way to travel.

Maybe in historical role, but Sanskrit is much more important in Indian culture, religion, etc. than Latin is for westerners. Sanskrit is more formal, and more steeped in (relevant) culture to understand, which makes it harder, as >>73264591 mentions. Its not that bad for speakers of Indian languages though.
>>73264937
>especially terrible for a country as big as ours
agreed
>This Hindi nationalism meme is getting out of hand.
It would be better to have a desi language as the lingua franca, without pushing out local languages. Not sure if thats possible though.
>>73266347
Agreed, but we have a reality shaped by our colonial history and the current importance of English to make peace with.

If the Indian economy and educational system would be more developed and robust, there'd be less reason to learn english, and Hindi+Mother Tongue would suffice.

I'm interested. Thinking about seeing if I can move to India for a year or two for work.
>>73267856
Given that most worldwide business is in English it makes sense.
>>73269634
The Chinese seem to do just fine having English as an optional language to learn.
