Bharati Script Wants To Unify Indian Languages: One For All, All For One
India has 22 official languages. Schools teach in 58 different languages. There are newspapers in 87 languages. And, about a dozen major scripts are used to communicate in these languages.
Though the country once boasted about this linguistic complexity, people have since found that it poses barriers to effective communication.
India has a population of 1.24 billion who communicate in several hundred languages and dialects. Most of these languages are written in unique scripts, but some use Devanagiri and modified Perso-Arabic script. Even though India has 22 scheduled languages and the official language is standard Hindi, there has been no way to unify these many languages.

Even though India has 22 scheduled languages and the official language is standard Hindi, there has been no way to unify these many languages.
This was the case until now, but according to a recent
report, an IIT-Madras professor has has developed one such script that
he calls Bharati, which can convey in all Indian languages, can also be
used for regular writing and can be learnt easily.
The script combines the simplest features of several existing scripts to come up with a new one that is logical and simple (via).
According to Professor V Srinivas Chakravarthy, who
developed the script and applied a patent for it, Indian languages are
more logical compared to a lot of its counterparts, but Indian language
scripts tend to be unreasonably complicated and ornate.
“Anyone who knows one of the major Indian scripts can learn Bharati script in an hour,” The report quoted Prof. Chakravarthy saying.
