Learn Modi Script 1.3
Modi script was invented as acursive“shorthand” or speed writing to note down the royal edicts.Overthe centuries, the Modi script has evolved and can beclassified as: Bahamani (16th century), Shivkalin (17th century),Peshwekalin(18th century) and Anglakalin (19th -20th century).Traditional Devanagari script was found to beexcessivelytime-consuming, since each character required as many as3 to 5strokes and the lifting of the hand, each time the strokewascompleted. Modi script got round this obstacle by “bending”theletters thereby doing away with the need of lifting the hand.Thisinvention thus allowed for a continuous writing which could beusedby court scribes to note the edicts.
