I purchased a small book of East India postcards about 40 years ago and have just got round to looking at them.
Is there anywhere these can be translated into English. I've got about 30 different ones altogether.

Possibly Gujarati? Try an ad in the local newspaper or FB group once the language is confirmed. I'm not sure OCR copes too well with hand-written script, but I may be wrong so it's always worth trying it out with a suitable reader.

The script on this is Devanagari, and the language probably Hindi, which is/was the majority language in Gwalior.

The second image is inverted.

I may be wrong, but I believe OCR for handwritten Hindi is still in the experimental stage.

I would guess that there are some members on here from India who may be able to help?
