You had a person's CV posted in your talk archive (#25). That person contacted OTRS and requested that his information be removed. I deleted it off of your archive, and left you a note as to why I made changes to your talk archives. --

आपकी बात सही है, हिन्दी ने काफ़ी भाषाओं से शब्दों को ग्रहण किया, और ऐसा किया की जो हिन्दी हम बोलते हैं, वह हिन्दी ही नही रही. पहले खड़ी बोली आई, फ़िर हिन्दुस्तानी आई, और अब हिंगलिश आ गई है, कुन्तु यह सब हिन्दी नही कहला सकतीं. क्या सोचते हैं आप? —

There's a difference here. Hindi is a standardized form of popular vernaculars, a written language built upon Arabo-Persian and Sanskrit vocabularies. The Arabo-Persian vocabulary is part of Hindi from its very onset, and khari boli cannot be compared to 'hindglish'. To say that 'true' Hindi excludes Arabo-Persian loanwords, is a postconstruct for political reasons. --

I would tend to disagree. Arabic-Persian influence came to India with the onslaught of Mughal invasions, by the influence of which, many of the Arabic and Persian words got assimilated into a common tongue for a majority of North Indians –
Hindustani. That I do not refer to today's Hindi as – "pure Hindi" and that is my personal opinion, completely uninfluenced by politics. And in that sense, I am not a fluent speaker of what I think "pure Hindi" is – बॉलीवुड जिन्दाबाद. —

God save my benighted andu-gundu-speaking soul, Bhadaniji, why is everything an issue these days? I said something to you (and only you); neither you nor I care about "purity" (rather the opposite, from your statement) but the world must crash around our ears. I'm old enough to recollect a time when it was not like this, on wikipedia or out of it. I think you, Bhadaniji, must be old enough to remember
this song? That's all I ever talked about.
Now let the topic change to whether "Duhaai" ("2-2 laments!") is a word of geographic-Indian origin or not. See? Things are not so straight forward. For instance, the word "Ghar" is surely related to the Sanskrit "Griha," but also to the Persian "Gaah" (place), all of which are derived from a common Indo-European root. Similarly, "Haseen" (lovely/vivacious) is related to "Hasi" and also to the Sanskrit "Hasya." I know exactly the person who could comment reliably on all this, and I could myself point that "Arabic-Persian influence" came to India 800 years before the Mughals, but rehne do, who cares for facts and all that crap? Certainly not this encyclopaedia.

About the meetup. Belapur is across town for me and it would be difficult to meet on a weekday. Is there any chance you coming to the town area?
