In "Hindi vs. Hinglish, Head to Head," scholar Ananya Vajpeyi traces the 
evolution of Hindi from its roots in Hindustani to the "Hinglish" of today, 
arguing that a language of 500 million people needs to develop a richer 
vocabulary of social science and self-confidence to stand up to English. 
To do this, she advocates an academy, much like the Académie 
Française, to stave off linguistic pollution.  Article can be found here:
