They did not share a native language until William Carey a white looking foreigner standardised Hindi based on Sanskrit
@shortstories Carrey was a missionary. All he did was translate the Bible into Hindi, among other languages.
Just another Jesus freak...
He had to standardise the Hindi language in order to translate the Bible into Hindi
Each village spoke a different version of Hindi so he had to study the history of Sanskrit to standardise the Hindi language in written form
Indians would not have had a stadardised Hindi language to communicate from one village to another without him
Basicly until a White Christian Missionary showed up they have not had a standardised language for hundreds or thousands of years
This such an ignorant and malinformed take with the misinformation itself applied so ignorantly take I don't even know where to start...
@meeper @shortstories Start at the beginning. And when you get to the end; stop.
@shortstories Christian missionaries in India were with the British Empire, using education, social reform, and evangelical activities to subvert Indian culture and **strengthen colonial control**.
When people's culture is throwing poop at each other then they are better off with their culture subverted and should be thanking the British man for subverting their culture but instead they try to scam British people
The British would have been better off if they never helped the Indians in the first place
