Sanskrit -The authentic National Language of Bharat (India)

Sanskrit The authentic National Language of Bharat (India)

Sanskrit is spoken and used in almost all the parts of our country. In our golden historical periods of past, it had been the official language of Bharat.
What Bharat we see today, Sanskrit has lot to contribute to its identity, great size, Nationalism, Self Respect and Values.
But ever since we got adapted to the slavery of foreign rulers, we started loosing our identity, Aryans became the foreign-invader to Bharat, Sanskrit became the “Communal and Dead Language” and Vande Matram became an objectionable National Song!
Even after 62 years of independence, Sanskrit continues to be the marginalized language, spoken by some “minority” spread all over Bharat and in many parts of the world.
Sanskrit is taught as a ‘rote learning’ subject in many schools of Bharat, and where it is a selective subject, students usually take this language out of temptation to obtain higher marks or some sorts of scholarships and very few, out of emotional attachment .
Even, I have studied Sanskrit till standard eight, and I know my many friends who took this language in their matriculation but we are unable to communicate and properly understand the language.
I appreciate those great souls who have made very few Sanskrit movies and serials; I can remember only two: “Adi Sankracharya” and “Abhigyan Shakuntalam”.
I am aware that many people across the globe love this language- I wish that Ministers and Bureaucrats in Prasar Bharati and in Information and Broadcasting division of Government of India would also be loving this language and would be thinking to launch a 24 x 7 complete National Sanskrit TV and Radio channels, say Doordarshan Sanskrit, Sanskrit FM, etc. so that the great language of Gods is rejuvenated.
But I am sure that many people will object this step of Government and it will also not have much contribution to the vote bank politics. But not all channels of Doordarshan are making profits! Government has many white elephants and a well managed National Sanskrit TV/Radio channel will never become the one. Sanskrit has good niche market potential.
But whether our Government thinks or not in this direction, we should not let this language to be in dormant condition. Having many websites and online community/groups for support of Sanskrit is not enough.
Entrepreneurs will have to adopt this great language. Investing in the language will certainly pay back with good returns. Many Temples earns good amount of money through Dakshina/donations. If they could join together and contribute a little, we will have enough funds to launch this National Sanskrit TV and National Radio channels. If Sanskrit channel is launched, it can be allowed to be viewed in at least all the big and small temples of India and outside India, Sanskrit schools and colleges, Ayurvedic and Yoga Institutes, Vedic-astrological service centers, Shastriya Sangeet Academies etc. So we have a guaranteed viewer-ship across the Nation, perhaps many times more than many vulgar TV channels.
I have seen good market demand of Sanskrit Bhajan and contribution of South-India has been great in this regard.
National Sanskrit TV/Radio channel will allow intellectuals of different states to unite and do progressive works. Religion of Bharat will take new better shapes and will provide better thinking and life to its vast followers. The new emerged philosophy will ensure sustainable happiness to Humans, Animals, Plants and all other creatures of God. Debates by scholars on hot topics will attract lots of public interests. Students, Teachers, Professors, Researchers of Sanskrit will get opportunity to contribute to this National Channel. Those who know this language and are studying this language will be recognized and motivated. People will find this language easy to learn. It will ultimately lead to rejuvenation of our great country itself.

Dear Pradeep Nair , Namaskar! Thanks for the support. You have motivated me a lot. Kindly lead us and organise us, so that the great language gets rejuvinated. First thing is generation of Funds. We can take help from the owners of Sanskar, Asatha and other popular channels.

This is my situation too 'I have studied Sanskrit till standard eight, and I know my many friends who took this language in their matriculation but we are unable to communicate and properly understand the language'. Un-fortunately we got deaf ears on rule and it become our responsibility to rejuvenate Samskritam and we shall what ever hurdles they erect on our way. Namaste
