Hidden Brain, Episode titled, "Our Pursuit of Happiness": https://www.npr.org/2020/07/31/897673162/you-2-0-our-pursuit...

I found a section in podcast that talks about: "we tend to present our best sides to strangers rather than to people who inhabit our lives is very sad", really insightful.

I find this ironical that the technology(in this particular case their site) which is considered as a savior for these languages and dialects, by archiving them, indexing them, can get itself rendered as something to stay away from instead of making this resource accessible.

I had a chance to visit one of academy he helped establish, adivasi academy(their domain name has expired), tejgarh, vadodra.
