1 we cannot type our own languages on english keyboard, maybe transliterate it.
2 India has just TOO many languages, Hindi, Bengali,Tamil are not the ONLY ones so its really not possible to make a forum for a country with so many widely used languages.
3 people in India that use the internet know how to speak and read english as it is our official language and hence there is really no need for language specificity3.
Why an integrated forum would fail ? :
Because the idea of a local forum is to enable ease of cash transfer and the possibility of meetups, which a South Asia United Forum wont be able to successfully integrate because of the obvious border issues.
90% of people using internet in India know english, but that isnt the case with people from other south asian countries.
Plus lets be honest, everyone in South Asia pretty much hates Indians, its a documented fact, I know cuz I did some digging around sometime ago.
On the contrary if there is a payment system that integrates all the countries in SAARC and enables easy payment to individuals for both small and large amounts, then definitely we can see some progress.
I DO think this is as a good idea, i just dont see how it would work.
Rebuttal
1. yes you can type in the National language of India which is Hindi.
2 To many languages . yes but the national language being Hindi is expected from most.
3. dont know what you meant by that . but Language specific forums are there to help people speaking in that language. India having the internet users, are mainly english educated hens English being the proffered means to communicate. taking that into context the users involved in bitcoins in india is low. participation is low ,(THE MAIN PROBLEM)
Why an integrated forum would NOT fail ?
You are looking at this only through the lens off trading bitcoins for fiat. obviously this would mean problems in transaction in a particular foregin currency would become difficult. but the number of indian users would remain the same , more members from the neighboring countries would be involved. and even add to your trading profit. so no harm here.
Plus lets be honest, everyone in South Asia pretty much hates Indians, its a documented fact, I know cuz I did some digging around sometime ago.
Well if you think every one from south asia hates indians then we need to be able to extend our hands and show how much of a friendly people we truly are. changing perception comes through individual act. and yes most of the south asian do speak English.
What i am aiming at
1. Greater participation of people .
2. Giving help and getting help from neighboring country members.
3. An International collaboration, working between people cross country forming partnerships.
Resulting effect:-
larger community
problems gives rise to newer and better solutions (tow heads are better than one)
friendly ties with neighboring countries (after all a peaceful nation is a better nation )
Why Am i promoting this idea.
Because Our indian community is far to small, it cannot sustain on its own . trust me it needs to be integrated and have a wider community outreach.
My question to all is why would you oppose it ? and i will try to give a reasonable rebuttal to your opposition. lets talk people.
