Narendra modi 'NaMo' now a word, makes its entry into Gujarati dictionary

[R.A.W.]

AHMEDABAD: His name springs hundreds of options on any internet search engine — books, poems and blogs. NaMo, as Narendra Modi is popularly known
in Gujarat, will now figure in a Gujarati lexicon.

'Lok-kosh: Bhasha Ni Asha', an online project will compile popular Gujarati words which have not yet found mention in dictionaries, to include words like NaMo which is described as 'how people of Gujarat affectionately refer to chief minister Narendra Modi' (Normal usage of the word means 'to bow'), Swine Flu and BRTS, for Bus Rapid Transit System. Besides, it will have a host of English words charger, eco-friendly, recession and bootlegger, to mean kingpin of the liquor trade! To be launched next week, the online lexicon has been compiled using suggestions from people.

"Gujaratilexicon's Lokkosh is an effort to compile exceptional words. People can exchange and share their Gujarati language knowledge by contributing words," said Ashok Kaneria of Gujaratilexicon. The lexicon will also have usages popular among NRGs (non-resident Gujaratis) across the globe. For instance, it has Bwana (gentleman) popularly used by NRGs in Kenya.

The first attempt for preparing a Gujarati lexicon was made by Dr Drumand, as early as in 1808. Titled 'Glossary', it was not a purely Gujarati dictionary nor was it intended for Gujarati speaking people. It was a very small dictionary consisting only 463 words giving English equivalents of these Gujarati words. Subsequently, similar attempts were made in 1835, 1841, 1848, 1861, 1873, 1921, 1944.

At the time of Gujrat-2007 elections Gujju's in Mumbai to greet each other by saying Om NaMo Namah

It was one of the very successful election campaign trick that Narendra Modi supporters used.

I understood the NaMo very late after I read about it in newspapers.

Man though he has a inglorious past but the kind of developments he is doing in Gujarat he is earning a high repo all over India.

Tell that to his opponants and stupid media.

While he talks development 7 years on people his opponants still talk about Godhra since they dont have anything against his good work.

Recent by-elections he snatched 5 seats from Congress taking BJP's number to 122/123 in Gujrat assembly.

Out of which BJP has 122/123 seats.

In 2007 election the number was 117 despite of stupid media predicting it between 90 to 105.

^^I thought you are trying to say BJP has 122 out of 123 seats in Guj Assembly

I thought you are trying to say BJP has 122 out of 123 seats in Guj Assembly

I am not sure about the exact number whether its 122 or 123. Modi snatched 5 from Congress but I think he also won 1 more seat hence confusion.

Although I leave in Mumbai for bread and butter, I originaly hail from Gujrat and I read Gujrat Samachar before anything else every morning as Gujrati is my native language.

Hope it clears.

Bihar has Nitish Kumar he is doing great job there.

UP is beyond repairing. It has more to do with the people than the politicians.

yups i do accept and would say UP is the nursery of crime within India. but at the end of the day there should be proper investment of resources not in some stupid parks or some stone idols for oneself on the name of development. And i was really amazed by the guts of this ***** that she continued construction even after the stay from the supreme court.

UP's politics is all about who is Thakur, who is dalit, who is rajput etc.

They even chose Raja Bhaiyya and Amarmani Tripathi despite of knowing their background.

Amitabh Bacchan a Brand Ambassdor of SP telling poeple that the crime has been wiped out from UP and he wants people to believe in it.

Look at people of Bihar. Irrespective of castes and religions they voted for Nitish he did hell of a job and hence people sunk Lalu and Paswan in Loksabha.

Where as in Loksabha people still voted for SP and Mayawati in UP.

Much worse than that the people have a feudal mindset stuck in the 19th century.While the brahmins,kshatriyas and ashrafs show extreme bigotry.They commit atrocities on the lower classes and the rise of Mayawati,Mulayam is a direct consequence of that

To add to that those two were ocuppied with settling old political scores with the upper classes rather than doing any developmental projects

UP and Bihar are our secret weapons, and our second line of defense after the mighty Himalayas against China. Lalu will take over Chinese railways and livestock feed (his Indian buffaloes will be put to stud on Chinese water buffaloes first), while Mayavati will handle roads and infrastructure for Tibet (with a statue in front of each gompa and monastery .... complete with dangly ear-rings and handbag).

Cheers, Doc

Sorry to wake you both up from your dreams but UP is well more secure than bihar and other lawless states of India. I have lived in UP for 10 years and with cities like noida and Gr. noida and investments pouring in, UP is on its way to become a prosperous state.

Although i agree this mayawati needs to be removed but bureaucrats and other ias are eying industrial bases and tourism attraction for the state. Have you seen how highways quality is improving?
