My dilemma

I want to write something in Hindi but always ends up writing in English. I don't know is it because of our education system.

I always find the Hindi language vocabulary to be more in depth and powerful don't know why then English vocabulary.

The Hindi vocabulary have some feeling the complexity but always ends up writing in English.

English is dumb language some one said that but in this time it's all over the place

क्या स्त्रीलिंग बहुवचन हिंदी में गायब होते जा रहा है?

मेरे आस पास मैं स्त्रीलिंग बहुवचन का इस्तेमाल धीरे धीरे कम सुनते जा रहा हूँ । कल ही मेरी एक दोस्त ने एक महिलाओं के समूह के लिए "वो आ रहीं हैं" के बजाए "वो आ रहे हैं" बोला ।

मैं जानना चाहता हूँ कि यह बात किसी और के भी ध्यान में आई है या यह सिर्फ़ मेरे आस-पास का स्थानीय/क्षेत्रीय लहजा है ।

Is Devanagari or Nastaliq script better for writing the language

American born Pakistani here. I can usually read basic Urdu pretty easily due to reading Arabic to read the Quran from a very young age. In the past couple years I've also taught myself how to read and write Hindi in the Devanagari script, though I am still a bit slow at reading it compared to Urdu.

From my experience the Devanagari Hindi script has been a bit better for writing the language, as it contains clear syllable markers (ौ ै ा ी ू ो े ् ि ु ं ॉ), many of which the perso-arabic script does have, but it's not commonly used in Urdu since they kind of just assume you already know the language. So for example an Arabic speaker would kind of be able to read Urdu but wouldn't know how to sound the words out aside from shared vocabulary. Similarly it is hard for Urdu speakers to read Arabic as they don’t usually use syllable markers either for the same reason, and the Qurans that are printed in India and Pakistan have syllable markers that make it easier for non Arabs in general to read the Quran.
Though Urdu does have the same alphabet as Arabic and Persian largely and is therefore better able to sound out the words in their original form if you wanna speak real Urdu, in every day speech it’s pronounce regularly anyway, like ق/क़ are usually pronounced as ‘k’ instead of the deep throat letter they are meant to represent since it’s naturally harder for most Pakistanis and Indians to pronounce throat letters .
Also Hindi has specialized letters for aspirated sounds whereas Urdu will just attach the ‘h’ letter next to the consonant similarly to English, again making it apparent that Devanagari is better adapted for its job than nastaliq.
For example,
bh = भ = بھ or ب+ھ
th = थ/ठ = تھ/ٹھ
I’ve also come to realize that perso-Arabic must be super hard to read for beginners due to its joined letters which I wouldn’t have experienced since I’ve learned it from a very young age.
