Mahajani
Commercial script used by the merchant class (Mahajan) of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Sindh (15th–19th century).
Commercial script used by the merchant class (Mahajan) of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Sindh (15th–19th century). It evolved as a cursive system specialized for accounting ledgers, contracts, and trade records. Though it disappeared after the 1947 partition as Hindi and Urdu were standardized, some elderly traders in Rajasthan continued using it into the 21st century.
