This is insanely cool! I'm an Indian-American high school exchange student in Spain, so I relate to both worlds you've described in your piece. It's always fascinated me how both Hindi and Spanish fall under the same language tree (Indo-European languages), and about 8-10% of modern Spanish vocabulary is derived from Arabic. I would love for you to check out my posts; I'll be following yours :)
Pallavi, (we knew each other when you used to write for The Hindu from Tokyo, but you may not remember) you write so beautifully and so passionately. Thank you. There is some problem with my credit card and soon as that is sorted will subscribe and also ask other friends in Asia to subscribe. This is one of your inspired pieces but you write so many inspired pieces that I a have become another big fan of yours. Can we/I use this piece, in the next issue of the Journal of the Centre for South Asian Studies of Chulalongkorn University for which I will be the guest editor? I will ask the Director to subscribe for The Global Jigsaw. Thanks and keep going. All the best.

This is a theme that needs so much reinforcement. I loved the last paragraph.
Thank you!
