UP govt decision to send out press releases and CM's speeches in Sanskrit, apart from Hindi, English & Urdu, comes on the instructions of Yogi Adityanath.
An IIT-I official said the course is a bid to expose the present generation to ancient knowledge and over 750 candidates from all over the world were participating in it.
New guidelines will help Sanskrit universities and colleges get NAAC accreditation, which will help them be included in national and international rankings.
The student's union run by RSS-affiliated ABVP had protested against the appointment of assistant professor Feroze Khan on the grounds that a Muslim cannot teach Sanskrit.
Retired Kerala teacher Gopalika Antharjanam, who beat initial social opposition to teach Arabic, says it's BHU assistant professor Firoz Khan’s right to teach Sanskrit.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Clearly, this saffron thug, like his saffron bosses in Delhi, does not understand basic economics.
There is simply no demand for communiqués of any sort in Sanskrit and yet, this so-called monk creates a supply for this non-existent demand. Completely forgetting that Sanskrit speakers in India number a whopping 24,821 according to the 2011 census. Even that figure is questionable but that I guess is another debate.
Perhaps this Hindutva thug who runs UP could clarify the costs of this Sanskrit stunt. And more importantly, what other service in his dilapidated state gets the axe such that this Sanskrit service is financed.
And to the many Hindutva supporters who laud this move, do let me know if you are willing to pay a bit more in taxes to finance this.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
If pundits were happy with the complex printing ink wasting Devanagari script they may not have created various scripts under different rulers for vernacular languages to divide the country. Nowadays Devanagari Lipi Parishad prefers single Devanagari script despite it’s simplification into Gujanāgarī script for all Indian languages to slowly eliminate vernacular scripts the way they did with Maharashtra’s MODI script.
Education policy needed for India:
If English medium education is better in India then why not translate all English curriculum and Sanskrit literature in regional languages and provide equal education/information to all? Don’t people read PM’s Mann kī Bāt in all regional languages on website? Don’t they teach Bible in all Indian languages? Sanskrit scholars provide Vedic knowledge to westerners in English via translation and transliteration but not the same way to fellow Indians who protect languages and culture in Indic scripts.Gujarat has given great political leaders as well as simple script to the nation and yet Hindi is taught in a complex printing ink wasting script despite it’s simplification into Gujanāgari script.
With millions of headache typical of this unmanaged State, Sanskrit is a priority for UP. Such a shame. The State will rot like before for many many more years.
I hope all states promote Sanskrit. Sanskrit is our heritage. And we should never forget heritage. Though leftists want all of us kick out our heritage.
Mr Srinivas: I assume that you belong to the middle class, that cursed lot of Indians who pay all the taxes that keep the country running. Tell me then Mr Srinivas: what additional % of your income would you be willing to pay as taxes to keep this Sanskrit stunt going?
In other words, are you willing to put your money where your mouth is ?
Let me hazard a guess: No you are not willing to pay for it.

Good initiative to revive the native language of Bharat. Real History will be known automatically later on.
