I oppose your views on calling Hindi an orphan child. It depends on us, how we treat and use it. If people are ashamed of using Hindi, then it's their problem, not of the language. > Solution?

I did the same and it didn't take me much time learning typing in Hindi. I was able to chat in Hindi within 2 days of printing the keymap out. > English.

There is always a proper way to do certain things. And if someone is determined to use Hindi on computer, he wil surely learn how to type in Unicode. Were we able to write Hindi alphabets in a day or two at Nursery School? Why didn't our teachers instructed us to stick pre-printed alphabet stickers in place first and writing in pencil later because it's tough to write? When Indic computing has evolved and Susha is a thing of the era bygone, why should we keep ourselves tied to a legacy which rides on the back of English keymap? > That is just my opinion.
