Knew a guy who did screen printing in college in the engineering program, which had a large Indian population. He put this particular phrase on a shirt and wore it around.
It’s a bit of a tangent, but linguistically, that’s quite interesting. How do those “redundant” (in western comprehension) sounds differ? Or is it just that there are explicit characters for each pronunciation (e.g. “cede” vs “can”)?

The real way to spell it would be in the Hindi script. This is just the most common approximation in the English version of the Latin script.
You can’t get a very accurate version in the Latin script because the Hindi alphabet (devanagiri) has 4 different Ds, two different CH sounds, etc.
