@sifarchand You should check out Pien's thesis at UPenn in general. "Tracing Dehlavi: The origins of the hindi-urdu lingua franca". I also like Rahman's "From Hindi to Urdu". proquest.com/openview/e747a…

@thistheworstfr @socioplathh @dietbrainrot And you have her typical oversimplifications like when she said that the Indus script has more in common with the arabic script than indic scripts since they are both written right-to-left (not withstanding the fact that longer inscriptions in the IVC are typically boustrophedon)

@thistheworstfr @socioplathh @dietbrainrot She tends to be outright wrong and purposefully dishonest on many topics. I remember her saying that the Hittites spoke Sanskrit.

@cvkrishnan @unraveaero @IRWatchdog Also from @IRWatchdog, Indian researchers vanish from the Clarivate highly cited list of researchers because this list (while having big limitations in many areas) accounts for research quality, unlike the entirely made-up "Stanford top 2%" highly cited list.

@cvkrishnan @unraveaero The most productive of them all is apparently Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT) in West Bengal. Anybody who knows about private colleges in West Bengal is aware of just how bad MAKAUT and most of its affiliated colleges are.

@cvkrishnan @unraveaero So, basically there is no Indian University in the top 50. However, Indian universities already dominate the list when it comes to research productivity (papers per faculty). Something's very fishy.
