Saṃskṛta - Sanskrit Language
Saṃskṛta is the thread on which the pearls of the necklace of Indian culture are strung; break the thread and all the pearls will be scattered, even lost forever.
- Dr. Lokesh Chandra
Saṃskṛta is one of the oldest languages of humanity and is the world's only non-ambiguous spoken language. The beauty of Saṃskṛta is that it is a spiritual language rooted in science. Literally meaning "refined speech", Saṃskṛta has been used to convey the spirit of Sanatana Dharma for thousands of years. Since most Indian languages are either directly derived or heavily influenced by Saṃskṛta, it is the only language that could bridge the language barrier in India
Makarand Paranjape makes a great case for Saṃskṛta as India's National Language.
A Comedy of Errors
What was the first character that you learned to write as a child ? Unfortunately, a large number of Indians start with the English alphabet. So what's the big deal ? Some argue that a language is just a medium of communication and due to rapid globalization, we are bound to learn English sooner or later. Arguably it is India's large English-speaking population that facilitated her Information Technology and outsourcing boom.
Sadly, English first and foremost, is India's language of slavery. The spread of the language is a direct consequence of academic imperialism by the British. Generations of Indian students post-indepdence were indoctrinated into the western knowledge system due to perceived cultural and scientific superiority of the colonial west - a shallow, misguided belief that still persists.
