					<description><![CDATA[X.T.M notes that a Bahá’í prayer performed in Mumbai for the 2017 bicentenary was in Shuddh Hindi, and wonders whether that translation came from Urdu, Perso-Arabic sources or English, since only a few languages are translated directly from the original Persian and Arabic.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe title="Bahai prayer - Bharatanatyam by Sonam Vora and Sachhidanand Narayankar" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gxlE4pGTIe0?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The Bahá’í community of India hosted this performance in Mumbai roughly around about nine years ago, because 2017 was the sacred bicentenary of the birthday of Bahá’u&#8217;lláh.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s also interesting is that the prayer is translated into Shudd Hindi, whereas the two languages in the world that get the direct translation from the original Persian and Arabic language of the Writings are Persian, Arabic, and Urdu.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s interesting that I don&#8217;t know where the Shudd Hindi gets translated from: Urdu, Perso-Arabic or English.</p>
<p>I also got this invite today for this very interesting talk below; K might have some interesting views on the below.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Links NDTV's report on Sushma Swaraj's UN speech ('We made IITs, Pakistan made Lashkar'), and remarks that even a weak Hindustani speaker could follow most of it, wondering why the Pakistani delegate wore a translation earpiece.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/we-made-iits-pakistan-made-lashkar-says-sushma-swaraj-at-un-10-points-1754294">https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/we-made-iits-pakistan-made-lashkar-says-sushma-swaraj-at-un-10-points-1754294</a></p>
<p>Why one earth is the Pakistani delegate wearing a translation piece? Even I, with my much weaker grasp of Hindustani (<em>decent enough to understand Pakistani dramas</em>), could understand most of this clip with the exception of a few Sanskriti/Shuddh Hindi words here &amp; there.</p>
