Error in the transcription of the subtitle

[edit]

I am new to Hindi, but I'm pretty sure that the subtitle should be "Ant Hi Aarambh Hai" (not "Anth ..."). The Devanagari, clearly visible in the page image, shows a त in the first word, which is not aspirated. As I say, I'm not an expert, but I did check with a Hindi-speaking friend, who says my transcription is right AND that some South Indians have a tendency to transcribe all T sounds as TH (thus explaining the error). I changed the subtitle given in the article, but I don't have the rights to change the article name itself. I also (being a non-expert) don't really feel like it's my place to do so. Could someone with more Hindi/Devanagari (and Wikipedia) experience pull the trigger on this? That or at least satisfy my curiosity as to why this should be the preferred transcription?
