en 31 March 1990 w:Narayani Gupta History for the Subalterns w:Economic and Political Weekly XXV Bombay Sameeksha Trust 663 https://books.google.com/books?id=rcwXAQAAMAAJ&q=Hindiphone 1 0012-9976 781590984 Of course the average publisher finds it far more practical and profitable to print masses of kunjis (guides) than to publish quality books. The combination of the publishers’ concern with quick returns and the indifference of scholars has meant that, more than forty years after Hindi was designated the rashtrabhasha, Hindiphone students have very few books to read, and most of them of appalling quality.

en 26 June 2020 Bhavya Tiwari The Multilingual Anglophone: World Literature and Post-Millennial Literature in Postcolonial India https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369801X.2020.1784027 interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies 23 (2021) 4 Abingdon, Oxfordshire w:Routledge 629–631 10.1080/1369801X.2020.1784027 1369-801X 10310369387 The conversation between the characters who are soon going to be fast friends raises questions about the readership and the new Anglophone novel. It does not dismiss any language, or invoke a colonizer–colonized debate or a Bhabhian “mimicry,” but satirizes the subject of Bhagat’s first novel in English, and subtly establishes the world of UP 65 as “authentic,” or “UP” (Uttar Pradesh) to take the title of the novel, for English-types and non-English-types in a Hindiphone world that is in conversation with the new Anglophone writings of India. Further, the textual worlds of both Bhagat and Sachan exist without any ties to western institutional and academic affiliations, revealing a multilingual readership of India in a simultaneous conversation with the Anglophone and the Hindiphone worlds.
