>Greetings:
>I'm Working on the Socipolitical and Linguistic aspects of Indian Writing

>and quite a substantial work on '(dev)nagri', I'm having trouble finding
>good resources on other scripts. I would appreciate your assistance in
>providing me any reference material  and work you might be aware of,
>especially with reference to the following scripts (though not limited
>to):
>
>Gurumukhi, Rong, Sharda, Kaithi/Mithilakshar/Tirhutia, Lhanda, Lepcha,
>Manipuri/meithei, Rong, MuDiya, Ol-Chiki, Waarang-Kshiti,Siddhimatrika,
