	Ancient Scripts: Modi
		The Modi script was used to write the Marathi language spoken in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
		Typical of South Asian scripts, a "consonant" Modi letter is in fact the consonant followed by the inherent vowel /a/.
		Usually the same stroke form is used for the same vowel across all letters of the script, but in the case of Modi (and a few other South Asian scripts as well) different stroke forms exist to represent the same vowel in different letters.

		expressing his anguish about the horrendous events unfolding in gujarat, mr chandrashekhar took his mentor to task for remaining a mute spectator, if not accomplice, to the politics of hatred being played out in modi’s gujarat when the nation expected of him the qualities of resolute leadership and bipartisan behaviour.
