Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 I'm interested in knowing how Hindi is used in indian universities in regions of the country where it is not the local language. Is it spoken as a learned lingua franca in universities in Pune, Chennai, and Andhra Pradesh, for example, or do academics in these places tend to speak the local language with one another unless it is not shared by a colleague? In particular, is there a tradition of using Hindi as the 'safety net' language in the early stages of the study of spoken Sanskrit, or does this again depend on what teacher and student happen to speak?
