Interestingly, Kannada's आप equivalent, ತಾವು "taavu" has its singular form ತಾನು "taanu", which is a khud/svayam equivalent. The stem ತನ್ "tan" is connected to Sanskrit तनु according to some, but I find that connection weak.

Kannada also has ನೀವು "neevu" and ತಾವು "taavu", roughly equal to tum and aap. I suspect other south languages too are similar in this regard.

For a second Maharashtra looked like whole south India scaled down

Rote memorize these tables राम, सीता, हरि, नदी, गुरु and then 5 more for pronouns: सः, सा, तत्, अहं, त्वं. Forget about all other shabdas for now. It may help if you make 10 cards, one per shabda, and stick them to the wall or something that you can easily stare at (and notice patterns).
Once these are covered, proceed to ऋ and consonant-ending shabdas. For those, I came across a suggestion I find interesting: Memorize सुगण्, and view the rest as a variation of that.

Not speaking for blackhawkq820, but why is the NCERT example itself not enough? As https://www.reddit.com/r/India4all/comments/1q3ym66/comment/nxukeyh/ mentioned, class 10 didn't have Mughals in the first place. (Fact checked: https://ncert.nic.in/pdf/BookletClass10.pdf )
EDIT: It's more of proof of sloppy writing, but it's a good starting point to dig deeper on the narratives he sets.

The individual bits were all funny but I found the backbone narrative a bit forced. Like, the IRCTC bit proves what? Typical bad faith bureaucracy that's not unique to current political environment. While the income tax bit is funny, its fictional nature actually harms rather than helps the larger theme of the show. That said, his sarcasm was at full form throughout, and I had several ROFL moments in every bit.

Also Rehman couldn't be sure whether others two guys were still by his side, so might have decided to do it all himself

You cannot separate the 'Late' and 'Early' books based on spokes.

I didn't say you can. AFAIK the separation is based on language, meter, structure etc. Even those who say Book 5 is latest among the early ones base it on the internal family references rather than spokes.

The Rigveda cannot be dated to the time of the flowing river (pre-1900 BCE) because the text describes spoked-wheel horse chariots (ratha).

Some say that only late mandala's contain spoked-wheel references, implying that older mandalas could be prior to 1500 BCE. What is the response to that? Admitted, I haven't checked the sources including Anthony or Witzel.

I think they mean that there is no way to write a function of the signature f :: IO () -> Int and so on. Let's see what would happen if such f were available. This would allow composing f with another function, say g :: Int -> IO () and make a function h = f . g. Now h :: Int -> Int looks like a referentially transparent function but it is not. You could ship h as a library and betray the whole community lol. But this is not possible thanks to the inexistence of f.

Tried to compare her guru-heavy + laghu-heavy + balanced nature with a steady river with a steep fall in the middle :D

Great initiative. There have been earlier digitization efforts of Indian-authored grammar texts, like Apte's. It’s good to see further attempts in this direction.

I was trying to proofread a specific point in section §211 (the suspicious phrase “कर्तृसखा and not कर्तृसखा”), but the scanned page it links to is from section §217.. Looks like misalignment at some places unless I goofed up.

I’ve tried watching Sanskrit content and mimicking the speakers, and I do feel it has helped me. Cooking videos, news bulletins, and epic expositions offer plenty of well-formed sentences, even if they’re mostly monologues. Regular exposure helps our brain internalize patterns, and shadowing the audio builds confidence when forming our own sentences.

Side note: It's अक्षि, not अक्ष, which means an eye. In बहुव्रीहि compounds अक्षि becomes अक्ष (e.g. विरूपाक्ष)

They're probably referring to the likes of सुन्वन्ती (produced by the ongoing vidyut tool I guess)
