The resolute commitment (tapasaya) by the Batta ( kashmiri pandit) , after 1990 brunt of socio- political catastrophe inflicted on the community yielded worthy results to win that crisis situation, gracefully .
….Now the time has come that kashmiri pandit, as a community shall show the same resolute determination to keep commitment and nurture belongingness to, motherland and mother tongue – ancestry and heritage – religious inkling and spiritual commitment - cultural bond and social compassion. All this is important because life tends to become more and more burdensome as age comes up to load. When an individual, a family and a community integrates ingredients of ancestry, in making of the personality and life skills, life then is a virtue, all through. When the strength of muscle and money are losing virtues by and by, then it is only a vibrant and virtuous life skill – family support and social bond that is handier to stand by.
Every Kashmiri Pandit shall have the same resolute determination to settle in Kashmir as a shareholder of the motherland. One can work anywhere in the world but Kashmir is our home. Every Kashmiri pandit shall have the same resolute determination, not to let the mother tongue get extinct in the community.
There are different processes of language learning. One of the ways, in the structural process of language learning, is translation. Translation system of language learning is presently getting more and more prevalent because Google is strongly creeping in this area. The google translation system is working to widen its base for Google Translation System. Kashmiri language in Nastaliq script (persio-arabic script) has been incorporated in google translation system. But the same system for Kashmir devnagri script is not there in google translation system.
When google translation system becomes efficient with artificial intelligence then the barriers between the languages will narrow and a day may come when an international language pool will do what English has been doing for so long. And Kashmiri in devnagri script shall not miss here. Having realised this objective, A Team is working to get Kashmiri Devnagri Script with in Google Translation System and for getting Kashmiri devnargi incorporated in google translation system.
There are different parameters that need to be met. The main areas are:
1 - A body of the Kashmir Devanagari shall be available online for google search engine .
2 – The tools of translation shall be available on google search engine.
3 – There shall be a technical team of professionals to develop a uniformity of Kashmiri devanagari script through Unicode etc.
Actions on anvil
A. Some technical professionals are the founders of the team, they are on work.
B. Some distinguished language experts and litterateurs are the founders of the team; they are also on work.
All authors / writers who write Kashmiri in devnagri shall put their materials online. And the manpower working today is little to meet the need, a wide community support at all levels of social functioning will make the project a success.
