it just so happened that I am doing a little research on the Brahmi
script (nothing academic, just for some art work), and we just have
this question on Burmese Tamarind Seed script, and another question
just occurs to me.
Can someone briefly explain how the Brahmi script developed into the
cursive and sophisticated Devanagari script, what were the influencing
factors, and what were the major successive descendants from Brahmi to
Devanagari.
