@georgia This is actually Madhyadeshi (hindi region collective written in gurumukhi)

Also happens to be really close to the style of poetry I write in :)

@georgia well honestly I wouldn't find myself writing anything much realated to devotion and much of what I'd write would be related to a fiction thing I want to write sometime

@georgia Also like madhyadeshi is partially a term I coined, I think the collective language in which central indian literature was written was calle sadhubhasha.

Madhyadesh is basically the historic term for the uttar-pradesh-harayana->bihar region and basically corresponds to 'Hind-hindi' which i find poor term for several reasons.

For my appreciation of tadbhav I'd call it manjhesi but few would understand it then lol

@georgia

one thing I'd want to write for one of the major characters roughly would go like

जय जय बंसिया महाराज्
जय जय ईस(अ)-साँवराज्
जय (title in relation to something)
जय (title in relation to something)

I've got the meter I want to write it in more or less but I've need to develop the story before i could properly compose something

@meeper doesnt madhya mean middle in sanskrit? like in madhyamaka (middle path), aka the "all is shunya even shunya itself" buddhists?

@georgia yeah medhyadesh basically- center of the country, as opposed to north (pahadi kashmir etc)

You may include madhya pradesh but that was actually called dakkhin apparently

Uttar Pradesh is a such a shitty name idk who came with it probably based on the abbrevation of united provinces.

Hind/hindi is both divorced from the culture imo a malignant and ruinous name (i call hindi and urdu vishabhasha for a reason, at least the obsession with their name or the obsession with the stuff thay led to it)

For the dehli dialect in particular id call it khadiboli, maybe kauravi or dehlavi (dillavi) which have a better historic relation

@meeper hind is a Persian name referring to people living near the Indus river correct? no wonder so many BJP types like sanatana dharma..

@georgia sanatan is an equally poor name.

It sounds like an obsessive and ignorant search for a name solely as a reaction to hindu being persian....

@meeper its not very historical either. the most historical term would probably be aryan dharma but you know what Hitler did to that

@georgia historically would be no name at all and just a general concioisness imo. Ig Dharmic in general is alright when expressed in opposition to others and for specificity your actual sect or at least if its veda tradition derived or not hindu is moreso a political term to unite in the face of too organised and rather hostile religions

@meeper dharma of course can refer to any indian religion pretty much but yeah

@meeper even vedic dharma doesnt work because hinduism is so puranic influenced. I prefer the prasthanatraya to all other scriptures myself although once I finish some in my library I think I'll have other ones that I prefer to the puranas like the yoga vasistha and stuff by tulsidas
