Raman Krishnaswamy
Dr. Kalainjar Karunanith of DMKi Vs Dr. Michaels
by Raman Krishnaswamy on Jul 23, 2016 08:09 PM

The Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam organised a protest meeting against inclusion of Sanksrit in school education in front of the Central Railway Station in the city on Sunday.
Volunteers of the outfit raised slogans against the Central government’s proposal to include Sanskrit language in Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools and in IITs.
The DMK leader Karunanithi publicly announced “If anyone advocated Sanskrit, every Tamil should take a whip and be ready to eradicate the language. “We will not allow domination of Sanskrit not only in Tamil Nadu, but in any State. We will chase it away,” he warned.

The Glory of Sanskrit
by Raman Krishnaswamy on Jul 23, 2016 07:56 PM

While scores of Foreign Universities are offering Courses in Sanskrit and are eagerly sought by students from Europe, US. UK and Italy, in India, the cradle of the language, its propagation is condemned, giving it a 'Hindu' colour.
Dr. Axel Michaels of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, has commented that "Linking Sanskrit with religion and a certain political ideology was “stupid” and “detrimental to the cause” of its rich heritage.
“Even the core thoughts of Buddhism were in the Sanskrit language. To better understand the genesis of oriental philosophy, history, languages, sciences and culture, it’s essential to read the original Sanskrit texts as these are some of the earliest thoughts and discoveries,” he added.

Attempt after 1000 years of Religious Subjugation/Extremism
by Ekasila Handicrafts on Jul 17, 2016 10:37 PM

Indians never had freedom since more than 1000 years due to Barbarians rule of forces from Arab/Turkey/Middle-East, and laterally in the hands of Britishers.

Only since 1947, we are now able to talk, walk and read freely in our own languages.

I was working for a Digitization Tender in Telangana and Andhra in the recent past for the Registration and Stamps Departments, in which our Scope of Work was to digitize the Land Records from 1835 to 1999 (after 1999 onwards, all documents were digitized) and surprisingly found that none of the documents and records prior to our India's independence were in Telugu in either Telangana or Andhra (in the Stamps and Registration Departments).

Also was surprised to see some documents wherein the Registration Fee was levied 3 times higher than Urdu for having written in Telugu, and penalty for not attempting to get the documents written in Urdu also. While digitizing the documents, I found less than 1% documents in Telugu language and rest all in Urdu only.

My hearty congratulations to Keralites for reviving Sanskrit and All the Best.

Kudos to these people!
by Rachit Sharma on Jul 17, 2016 01:36 PM

While we North Indians keep blabbering and bickering over our "glorious past", cry nostalgia of the times never seen and do nothing to revive it, the South Indians have actually gone ahead without making any noise and are quietly reviving our glorious past! That's the difference between us and the Southies... mere words vs. actions.

Sanskrit
by Sridharan Srinivasan on Jul 17, 2016 05:05 AM

Certain things suit their time only. Before British arrived barbers wife was attending Child birth. Nothing was thought of as a profession , certain people took it as passion. Though it was not financial success, it was more for their satisfaction. While most of the people of a community were doing their traditional jobs, few deviated , took interest in other things learnt & became known for it. Basically the same thing of pursuing what interests you& being satisfied with what you get out of it for a living. Now we are concerned more about material comforts & go after it , some making it a success & others making a living out of it. This is our world now & may be it will change later. So no use in blaming because life is lost in persuing your chosen path.

Sanskrit Ruined because of Bhramins
by Sam M on Jul 13, 2016 08:49 PM  | Hide replies

Its is myth that Sanskrit was never a spoken language in spite being tough it was a widely spoken language during ancient times .Bahamians where meant to teach the language and spread the adyatma spirituality teaching to all sections of the society .But Bharamins instead started imposing the importance of themselves on the society they kept the people devoid of mantras and even said Gayatri mantra was meant only for Bharamins .Normal people moved away from Spirituality and towards materials ways of living the entire education system was ruined just like the congress has manipulated education in resent times .As of know I would request the government to start whee they left free Sanskrit to the deprived and scheduled people and provide them real knowledge whihc was deprived for them for centuries rather than providing reservations

As usual.blame everything on the poor Brahmins. They taught Vedas and Manthras to all those who came to them with interest. Sanskrit as a language developed much later. Now we need to develop it as a language. Even today the Language Malayalam is full of Sanskrit words.

We indians now should not quarrel about brahmins or others ..first of all your professsion is not your caste,in the medieval times everyone was equal and had different skills,for eg someone with skills and liking for metal work became ironsmith or goldsmith,someone with a liking of surgical instruments, beauty & hair became barber..the problem & the great division started when all these professions were made to turn into the respective castes of the above mentioned skilled folks by the vested interest(which later on did no good to the same people who did all this division in the name of organising the society) this great division of our unity still continues & during those times it was further exploited by the foreign invaders from the central asia and later the british empire..so we have our own internal contradictions & we should not blame anyone now but we should introspect ourselves and have the vision of unity & strength .we should forget our past which was adulterated many times by our own folks as well as foreign powers..sanskrit is our pure form and we should respect it and promote it and try to revive it lovingly not by mechanical preaching or by making it compulsory ..we should see Japan as an example where their ancient japanese language is still used officially as well as all by the masses and the private sector..when your language is pure your food is also pure(Japanese Food,Healthy & Basic food since generations).So was our Food very

Today we have doctor families, engineer families, IAS families, business families, Techies is another new forward caste in cities, they look down upon those belonging to the slightly lower caste of BPO/ITES employees.

LAZY PEOPLE DID NOT WANT TO STUDY SANSKRIT AND BLAMED ALL ON THE HARD WORKING BRAHMANS. LATER LAZY PEOPLE BECAME POOR AND BLAMED EXPLOITATION ON THE WELL TO DO BRAHMINS.
VERY EASY TO BLAME SOME ONE OUTSIDE BUT DIFFICULT TO LOOK FOR FAULTS WITHIN.
