Unlike Latin scripts and several other writing systems, Indic scripts do not have any equivalent to capitalising the first letter of a word to show that it's a proper name.
For new readers of the Bible in Indic languages, this may be somewhat daunting if they have no immediate means to recognise that a particular word is a proper name.
USFM 2.4 already provides the marker pair \pn_...\pn* for marking proper names.
USFM 3.0 documents a further pair \png_...\png* to mark geographic names.
Might it be worthwhile to make use of these markers in all the Bibles maintained by FreeBiblesIndia ?
This would give app developers the chance to add features to toggle the display of all proper names in [say] a different text colour (as a user option).
Unless someone makes a start in such a direction, there will be no motivation for app developers to even consider such a notion.
