Sanskrit should be made mandatory in school education in India?

Question

We need to unite entire India on one platform to build a stronger nation. Sanskrit is the key to unlock the wealth of knowledge lying untouched for ages. Caste and religion will never unite India.

Answer 1

In a secular state such ideas are of no use. Unity lies in building the national character. Making it mandatory in schools and thereafter what? Medium of instruction is either Hindi (Local languagae) or English. Books are not available in Sanskrit.
These issues are of little importance. Real issues are: population, caste system and civic sense. India has to address these issues. The Sanskrit issue would develop in another problem.

Answer 2

It is a laudable idea. But, there is resistance to it among the Hindu communities themselves. It is perceived as a passion for the Brahmans. Our past tradition where learning was the preserve of the Brahmans and the select communities from the other varnas comes in the way of universalising of the spread of Sanskrit. There are many such prejudices that we have to grapple with while we want to introduce certain drastic steps for the welfare of the people. It requires a lot of ground work to clear the misgivings of the people. A big leap forward is long over due for reforming the Hindu religion from within. The old varnashrama dharma has lost its relevance. We are in the democratic age. Every thing in the Hindu religion should be available for all. None should be an out caste. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to stem the tide of conversions and such threats to this religion.

Answer 3

Sanskrit should be made mandatory in India, but not for the reason you told, but for altogther different reason. Sanskrit is the most advanced language, phonetically, and to convey its meaning it requires the least syllable. Germany is doing extensive research into sanskrit to make it workable in computer programmes, which will be faster, versatile, cover less space, and above all, very logic oriented. We are traditionally, strong in devanagri script, which supports sanskrit. So it will be advisable to create a platform of good knowledge bank of sanskrit, because in computing, it is the next level, say 10 years from now. And then those wise men sitting in USA who actually dont care, and those suggesting about contraceptive pills will shell their minds out to learn sanskrit.

Answer 5

Nope, and that is why. It would not coach kids some thing! And maximum instructors provide elementary grades for PE. even with if the newborn does no longer some thing yet slack off in PE, the newborn nevertheless passes. i imagine actual practise is major, yet i did not study some thing in PE. the full direction needs to be re-evaluated, in a fashion the position kids truly favor to study about well being. i develop into fat in intense college, inspite of PE. I taught myself about actual well being after college and lost 60 kilos. I must have had this information as a young person even as i develop into required to take actual practise.
