Model Turn

 * Karnad:  The popularity of the Dakshini language and script keeps increasing due to its simplicity.   A large number of printing presses are established across the nation. Collections of old folk tales and epics in Dakshini are sold widely as writers come up with novels. Development of the agricultural sector continues. Land clearance continues. Landless farmers are given land in the newly cleared areas. With landless farmers being given lands in newer areas, the amount of labor goes down, forcing many feudal houses to sell their lands as no one is ready to till it. The power of feudal houses steadily declines. However there is no big feudal house to challenge, powerful enough to challenge the monarchy and its officers. Also, for a long time the feudal houses have not been allowed to raise armies.  Schools open up in the cities. Village level education in pathshalas by the local gurus is immensely popular. Cultivators of spices are aided by the government and the spice market starts to recover slowly.   Roads are being built, manufactories, foundries, furnaces and printing presses open up slowly across the country.
