🕉️ Indic Script Unifier: Devanagari Converter 🕉️

Grounded in the profound phonological framework of the Maheshvara Sutras by Panini, this tool acts as a powerful unifier for Indian languages. 🇮🇳 Because Indic scripts share a common phonetic DNA, this extension bridges regional gaps by seamlessly converting native scripts into a single, readable Devanagari format. 🌉



💡 The Spark of Inspiration

The motivation for this project stems from the monumental effort by the Sahitya Akademi to transliterate Rabindranath Thakur's classic Bangalā works into Devanagari. 📖 Witnessing how this opened his legendary literature to a wider audience sparked the idea for a real-time web tool. 🌟
