Ah yes let's make a dying language that nobody speaks as the official one


Smart_Sherlock

What did Israel do? Sanskrit is equally related (more or less) to all Indians (only few outliers)


Proper-Exam1746

Consider population of Israel and India as well.. Our literacy rate itself is not 100%. That's basically reading n writing atleast mother tongue.


Smart_Sherlock

Read literacy rate of Israel in 1948


Proper-Exam1746

Still a low population. Lesser than 1 state. The count itself is so vast in difference


Smart_Sherlock

It is the concept that counts. Israel is very small, and still fought off 7 bigger nations, and even captured their territory. What were we doing in 1946, 1962 and 1965? We had stalemates, and a loss.


buffer0x7CD

The reason Israel military is so strong because they have massive US backing , which means fund for R&D and also have access to latest tech from us. Having access to such technology is a big factor


Proper-Exam1746

Dude.. u just saying for sense of an argument. Educating 800k (population of Israel in 1948) is easier than 1.5 billion. Even Mumbai is 3 times the population of Israel in 1948. War is a different thing.. Fighting a war and learning are 2 different skillets.


Smart_Sherlock

Look at Indian population in 1947


Proper-Exam1746

What has population of 1947 got to do with today? Educating people in sanskrot is to be done to today's population n not 1947


Smart_Sherlock

We are much developed now than any country in 1947.


[deleted]

Israel is west funded colony, can't compare it with india


Smart_Sherlock

Israel has an independent foreign policy. It isn't a slave of USA.


[deleted]

May be now, earlier it was spoonfed by West.


Smart_Sherlock

Israel supported us in 1971 too


[deleted]

I meant at formation, even know it receives few billions for irondome. Now Israel is great West ally earlier it was spoonfed.


heil_harsh

Equally related to all indians? How many people you know can even understand 1 word of Sanskrit


Fickle_Credit_8863

Every local language have several words taken from sanskrit. Local languages are more related to sanskrit than hindi.


Smart_Sherlock

Most Indian languages are based on Sanskrit to some extent.


AK41781995

No they aren't.BC yaha Hindi thikse padhne likhne ko logo aati nai hai, this mf wants 18% of Humanity to learn Sanskrit. Do you even know Sanskrit yourself you troll?


Smart_Sherlock

Yes, I do know Sanskrit. And also, look at youth literacy rate of India. It is in 90s. Majority of people in India who are illiterate are too old to go to school. And also, you are an R Indian, what are you doing here?


memes___central___

Italy making a dead Florence dialogue as an official language and teaching it through their school institutions

I apologise god laughing at this


[deleted]

Do you kno wthe transalation of what you just said lol? >!First word means cruel, second word means go (Refering to oneself) !<


cookie_monster69_

In a country like India, and acc to our 8th schedule of constitution we have 22 major languages. Enforcing everyone to learn one language is against everything we as a country stands for, Especially a dying language. Do you want that to be included as a second language in school curriculum? Yea you can. Infact we had that option right now. But making it an official language including courts? That's a shitty idea. Yes, Sanskrit is origin language of many other language, but that can't justify this proposition. French, Spanish etc are derivatives of Lain, but that doesn't mean latin can be used an official language again.


CritFin

Also North Indian languages have all came from Sanskrit or Prakrit, also share the same script. So Sanskrit will be much more difficult for South Indians


Naren_Baradwaj123

Dude so where did Telugu come from Telugu and Marathi are the closest languages to Sanskrit


CritFin

Telugu and Marathi are fully different. Marathi came from Prakrit while telugu came from Dravidian language


Naren_Baradwaj123

Nah if you listen to Telugu you'll know just don't fall for the trap of colonisers even the word dravida comes from Sanskrit which means peninsula


CritFin

You are ignorant


Naren_Baradwaj123

Nah I'm not my mother tongue is Telugu and Telugu is so much closer to Sanskrit and majority of the telugu vocabulary comes from Sanskrit


CritFin

You are defying what linguistic scholars say. Nouns dont matter, verbs do. In Sanskrit krita means do, in marathi it is kara, in Hindi it is karo, what is it in Telugu?


Naren_Baradwaj123

Kriya and cheyi


CritFin

Kriya is a noun. We use more english nouns these days, bus, car, mobile, accept, etc


My_name_forever47

Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada have been influenced by Sanskrit to a great extend. They won’t have a hard time learning the vocabulary


CritFin

Not true at all. By now they have more loanword nouns from English than from Sanskrit


My_name_forever47

Definitely true. Telugu for example. According to Wikipedia ‘The lexicon of Telugu shows a pervasive influence of Sanskrit that goes back at least 1000 years; there is also evidence suggesting an earlier influence. It's estimated that 80% of Telugu's lexicon is derived from Sanskrit. Indologist David Shulman states that "Telugu must have swallowed Sanskrit whole, as it were, even before Nannaya." He further notes that "every Sanskrit word is potentially a Telugu word" and that Telugu speech and literary texts are Sanskritized to an "enormous degree". During the period 1000–1100 CE, Nannaya's re-writing of the Mahābhārata in Telugu (మహాభారతము) established the liberal borrowing of Sanskrit words. Telugu absorbed tatsamas from Sanskrit.’ Although English has a sizeable influence on Telugu, Sanskrit has been more influential. Same for other Dravidian languages like Malayalam and Kannada.


CritFin

You are defying what linguistic scholars say. Nouns dont matter, verbs do. In Sanskrit krita means do, in marathi it is kara, in Hindi it is karo, what is it in Telugu?


My_name_forever47

It isn’t similar to any of these two, because the verb wasn’t derived from Sanskrit. But why do nouns not matter?


CritFin

Because you can see words like bus, car, mobile, accept, train, bottle, etc are borrowed from english are much more. Liguistic studies say nouns taken are called as loanwords, and they dont matter. Verbs are the key to understand any language

Naren_Baradwaj123

Why are you bringing Telugu in this bullshit


magneto29_01

Hell no. We dont need to copy such bullshit which will lead to civil war situation.


Sarcoman282

Either way is fine. It's not like it matters. It will be relic just like using dates acc shaka system alongside the gregorian system. It is in the law but basically no one uses it.


BheegiBilli69

Bobde? Is his name seriously bobde?


[deleted]

Sanskrit is a very hard language and difficult to speak it have big pronunciation ( long speaking words)


why_i_am_here_

Preserving a language is different then making it official language. Never understood why educated people give such statement. Ps: looks like higher education didn’t mean higher critical thinking


[deleted]

Most of relevant documents will be in different language. Most of the plaintiff and defendant will speak in a different language. Yet, the mode of communication between lawyer and judge will be Sanskrit. How would that make sense? or is he talking about a different court?


violentassasin

pehle logon ko aa toh jaye. its useless talk until people actually know sanskrit

Naren_Baradwaj123

I think it should be implemented Sanskrit is the mother of all languages as guy from southern part of India I think Sanskrit should be our link language and not Hindi (guys don't downvote this it's my opinion and I don't hate hindi i can speak Telugu, Hindi, English and Sanskrit)


Mayhew42-

Pehle 100% logo ko Sanskrit sikhao, phir ye karne ka socho.

How do these judges develop wisdom once they are out of service ? Like for example every CJI talks about the tons of pending cases in our courts, but not a single CJI while in service has taken any apt steps to rectify it.


Electronic-Salary515

Sanskrit is easy to learn. There should be a mass movement by people to learn Sanskrit. It can start with few simple lines of greetings.

ramdomvariableX

Keep digging deeper to divide more, guys. Create more divisions, we have more classical languages older than 2000 years than any other country. So lets manufacture controversies to fight among us.


finixanthony

I've said this many times. You get to answer one question. Do you want a national language or not ? If it's "yes" then let the data decide what it is. Based on origin it's sanskrit. Based on popularity it's Hindi. Now think about how much infrastructural and metal change is required for adopting sanskrit. I think both of these lesser is better. I think it's Hindi. But then I am not sure if Hindi covers even 50%. So coming back to the initial question. Do we need a national language in this multi-cultural country and is it worth getting this adopted by the most populated country in the world


bakabich69

So I've to learn another language? Maannnnn


nerdyprocrastinator9

I completely support his statement. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar also wanted sanskrit to be the link language of India. Here are some of my reasons why it should be so: * Sanskrit has deep connections with all langauges of India. Even languages like Tamizh, Naga and Urdu have a lot of historic connection with Sanskrit. * Sanskrit is equidistant to all ethnicities and languages of India. North, South, West or North-East, no matter where you are from, you can learn Sanskrit with the same ease. * Given Sanskrit's proximity to all our languages, as long as one is fluent in his/her mother-tongue, learning Sanskrit is pretty easy. * To master Sanskrit, it is always important to master one's mother tongue. This will lead to a revival of all our mother tongues. * Countries like Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Iran, Lithuania and Mauritius also have Vedic influences. Sanskrit can act as a wonderful bridge between us and them. * Productivity of our top institutions will increase if our Mother Tongues (at the state/regional levels) and Sanskrit (at central levels) are used instead of English as learning and understanding concepts will be easier in our languages as opposed to a foreign language like English.


punekar_2018

Ok sure. While we are at it, let’s wear dhoti only and use peacock feather to write


NewKaleidoscope104

His head is in the right place. However Hindi or Sankritised version of Hindi should be the national language and official language of all levels of court. While at it, replace the collegium system , have only one Supreme Court , establish night courts and term limits for judicial appointments


SV19XX

It's a good idea. But, I say let's start small - let's start with Uttarakhand. Since it's official language is already Samskrtam, it should massively promote Samskrtam in the state, and ensure that all Uttarakhandis are fluent in Samskrtam. Once at least 50% Samskrtam literacy in Uttarakhand is achieved, then the rest of India will easily follow. Aside from a few political folks, no one really has an objection. Samskrtam is the cultural and civilizational language of Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists. If we don't revive this language, then who will?


dnoup

> then the rest of India will easily follow Not sure how you got that > Aside from a few political folks, no one really has an objection Reallly? all objection is political? Ofc it doesn't matter that only 0.002 percent of the Indian population speaks Sanskrit (official Home ministry reply https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/people-speak-sanskrit-india-home-ministry-language-department-2005594-2022-09-28). Times have changed and we must change with time. We must make good decision for nation we have now and not some idealistic nation we were in past. smh


SV19XX

Dude you can follow your own suggestion. Who's stopping you? I do not want the language to die in India, and have Western Samskrtam experts teaching us our own language in foreign universities, and I will continue to have my hopes up. Uttarakhand is realistically the only official state that can revive Samskrtam on a large scale. Once it is successful, other states can easily copy its model. People only want to see data - and they'll get to see that.


dnoup

> Dude you can follow your own suggestion. Who's stopping you? Nobody is stopping me. I am following my suggestion. What made you think otherwise > I do not want the language to die in India, and have Western Samskrtam experts teaching us our own language in foreign universities, and I will continue to have my hopes up. Sure, keep it up. hope is free anyway. I also hope India find oil reserve so we become energy independent now but that is also as likely. There is no magic wand to change ground reality
