Make Sanskrit National Language of India
Sign Now
This petition is to solicit nationwide support to make Sanskrit National Language of India.
WHY? Sanskrit is the oldest, most highly evolved language in the world.Till now, unanimous support from all localities has not been achieved for any single language. Sanskrit, no doubt will be acceptable to all.Sanskrit carries with it our ancient culture and has the capability to assimilate any level of modernization and advancement.Major Indian languages are derived from Sanskrit. It should already have been accepted as National Language.Sanskrit is fundamentally strong in phonetic and grammar.Sanskrit is purely a scientific language. Every word and character has a definite reason and meaning to it for pronunciation, meaning and formation of new words.It is easy to learn Sanskrit, as most of the Indians already know the alphabets, as they are already being used in major Indian languages.ACTIONS REQUIRED: Declare Sanskrit - the National Language of India.Make a time-bound plan for Sanskrit literacy taking help of NGO's if required.Make Sanskrit a compulsory subject for study in Middle and High schools.Promote Sanskrit to be made an elective subject in schools across the world.It is high time that we demand all school boards and minority schools to offer Sanskrit as a compulsory language in their school curriculum. Sanskrit will help bring our kids and us closer to India.
Internationally also, we have been seeing the trend... people moving towards eastern culture, now moving deeper into the roots - taking initiation, singing Name, chanting, practicing yoga etc. We see growing interest in these traditional sciences and people living with greater understanding. But, something is missing when they are attracted towards eastern culture. Originality is missing. It is true many a time with the eastern born and brought ups also. They also feel not connected to the root. The missing link can only be connected with the classical language - Sanskrit.
On the onset, it might look impractical to propose an ancient language for acceptance as a National or International language 'for all modes of communication'. But, that cannot be accepted as a sufficient reason to stop us promoting Sanskrit, as it will have long lasting benefits for the generations to come. Every alphabet of Sanskrit carries life in it. It is alive. It implements itself. Very sound of the character implements the deep meaning living in it in the words using them. Sanskrit is not limited to just forming a set of characters to provide a piece of information. It is much more than that. Vedic mathematics, Mantra Yoga etc. are some of the easily graspable benefits that have become popular recently.
Sanskrit is the best language in this world that can assimilate and give us the best of both worlds - ancient world and the modern world.
