	Sindhi Gs question (in Devanagri Sindhi scripts)
		Devanagri based Sindhi script fell into disuse in the 19th century with the standardization and adoption of Perso-Arabic based script by the British.
		Two arguments are advanced against it -- first, that it is not practical in the present circumstances to reproduce all the Sindhi literature in a new script, and second and most importantly, it creates an unnecessary schism between Sindhis in Sindh and those in India.
		Thus, a few Indian schools do use the Devanagri script for Sindhi instruction, arguing it as a practical matter for maintaining the interest of younger children (and their parents).

	Navhind Times on the Web: Zest
		The ongoing controversy about whether the Roman script should be given equal status with Devanagri script in the Konkani language has raised a lot of questions in the minds of the people of Goa.
		Also parents are educated in Devanagri script so they will face difficulty in teaching their children Roman script.
		Roman should be given equal status along with Devanagri because in the long run Roman script can increase the pace of Konkani speakers, even internationally like any other language such as Portuguese, French etc. Roman scriptwriters too will be able to contribute towards the development of the language.

	The Konkani Fogis and the Blinkered Eejuts
		Besides, it is impossible that the tribals (who were treated as outcastes by the Aryans) had any access to Devanagri, (the script of the Aryans) before the Aryan Saraswats came and took over their land.
		What TGF does not understand is their near fanatic opposition to the Romi script which has been used by the vast majority of those who fought to save Konkani from the clutches of the Marathi lobby.
		Contrary to what Aurora Couto opines about Konkani and Devanagri, activist Godfrey Gonsalves notes that one of the reasons, for Goans not accepting the Konkani language as widely as one could expect, is the Imposition of the Devanagiri script upon the majority of Goans - with a political view [6].
