  • The specialty of Joshi's script is that it is extremely user friendly and at the same time freely available for all. Another advantage is that, it can be used in modes like- online and offline by downloading the script on one's computer. One can also attach the Javascript to a website and thus enable the usage of local language on their website. "It is free for all and there have been countless people and organisations who have been using it for promoting regional languages," adds Joshi. A number of websites are benefited by using GaMaBhaNa in their noble cause of encouraging regional writers, poets and authors. "To name a few, they are- myboli.com, misalpav.com, mr.upakram.com, sureshbhat.in, marathiabhyasparishad.com and so on. In fact, the Nepali section of Wikipedia is also powered by GaMaBhaNa. It is open source, which means anyone, and everyone can get it free of cost. People also call me and ask me for the source code," says Joshi.

    The advantage is that users do not need to be technically sound to be able to make use of the script. Added features on the website are the library and editor that assist the user while writing. With people from Maharashtra Mandals in countries like UK and USA making use of GaMaBhaNa, Joshi has surely helped languages cross the borders.
