If no one wants to accept it, its the problem of people and not the child...or do you think its the other way around? I never said that its the problem with Hindi, I just said that it needs to be made more acceptable.
No matter how bitter the truth, its simple that communicating in Hindi is usually looked down upon. Try and send your CV in Hindi for a job application. I am sure you will not be called even for an interview. BTW my one comment is taking the discussion way off-topic. > Yup! I did the same and it didn't take me much time > learning typing in Hindi.

I needed to type documents for printing purposes and nothing more. Also I didn't know about Bolnagri till then thus I had very limited options. Either I could have spent hours learning the Hindi Keymap or adopt the easier approach of Shusha. I adopted the latter. > There is always a proper way to do certain things.

That is where the difference between kids and grown ups arise. Kids don't have any option but to follow their teachers and thus they take the harder route but if you give a harder approach to an adult and ask him/her to type in Hindi, most of them will avoid it.
