Question

Write a slogan on importance of sanskrit diwas.......​

Answer 1

Answer:

For thousands of years ,ancient traditions and knowledge were passed on from generation to generation through only one language – Sanskrit. Sanskrit therefore contained in itself the very essence of Indian culture. This was recognized by Macaulay whom we call the father of our Modern Indian Education System. In his infamous Minutes of 1835, he made this historical speech in the British Parliament which struck a blow at the centuries old system of Indian education.

“I have travelled the length and breadth of India and have not seen any person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”

Macaulay realized that he could achieve his goal by eliminating Sanskrit from being an essential part of the Indian Educational System. The most important step that he adopted was to shut down several Sanskrit schools and to introduce English as a modern and civilized language. Sadly enough, even today we Indians take pride in speaking English while neglecting our own rich and invaluable language – Sanskrit.
