The Plan

The goal is to create a comprehensive index of bhojpuri proverbs and make them easily available for everyone to enjoy. This is also an effort to preserve some of these sayings and to help future generations and expatriates re-connect with their heritage.

Here are some resources available online that I am using for my reference:

• Book: A dictionary of Hindustani proverbs, including many Marwari, Panjabi, Maggah, Bhojpuri and Tirhuti proverbs, sayings, emblems, aphorisms, maxims and similes; ed. and rev. by R. C. Temple, assisted by Lala Faqir Chand. Available to read online here and for purchase here.
• Web: Anjoria.
• Web: Bhojpuri Idioms & Proverbs.
  

How you can help:

• Transliterate and Translate Bhojpuri sayings to English.
• Add bhojpuri sayings used within your family to this database.
  
• Annotate and categorize Quotations.
• Database design.
• Setup OCR Automation to translate books and append to database.
  
• Setup Amazon Mechanical Turk to crowdsource transliteration/transation work.
• Custom CMS/wiki for easy addition and crowdsource editing.
