Astitva Yaa Pehchaan?

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

Neeraj and I have been having this on/off discussion for the last two days. I finally said to him that let’s ask the Hindi scholars out there to end our discussion.

So tell us what you think.

1. What is the meaning of the Hindi word astitva?

2. What is the meaning of the Hindi word pehchaan?

3. How do you differentiate between the two words?

Leave a comment if you know with sufficient explanation, because you know that I will definitely have something to say if it doesn’t go my way.
