 Neelima. Thanks for posting this information and good luck with your work.

My query is, are there some serious blogs which make hindi contents
available in roman script. I can't read devanagiri script, but I still want
to read serious work in Hindi, hence the query. When I say "serious work" I
mean to say blogs which are not porns in Hindi in roman script. Whenever I
try to search some Hindi words on Google, I get millions of pages full of
description of sexual exploits or petty shayari.
Regards
TaraPrakash

Following is translation intent of my proposal of a study of Hindi Identity
Construction on Hindi Blogs.  under Independent Research Fellowship.   This
research proposes to do an online study of Hindi hyper text on Hindi blogs.
  It will be an attempt to make a critical appreciation of Language and
style of hypertextual prose as it flows through the terminals of Hindi
Bloggers. It will be an online study which will take in account the existing
blogs, Hindi Networks, Blog Archives, Comments etc. Narratives from Hindi
Online community will be collected. Objective is to identify the
construction of Grand narrative of 'Hindi Jati' (Hindi nationality) as
described in Hindi Literary Criticism especially that by Ram Vilas Sharma.
This construction of Hindi Jati with geographical space becoming meaningless
(or less important atleast) will be explored.                 As research
will be an online study therefore its progress will be available to all
interested in real time. Findings of the work will be shared through a
Weblog Publication and same will be presented at final workshop. Please note
that original proposal in unicode hindi is available at
http://linkitmann.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post_03.html   So far apart from
proposal a brief study of names of Hindi blogs is also available at
