> once things start being written down, the actual knowledge tends to get lost (see India for example)

> pretty much no intellectual, either in India or the US, actually cares about the mass-wiping out of Indian languages by English
Well I've never heard of this so lack of awareness would be an obvious cause if it's an issue, are there any orgs raising awareness of it?
