A multi-lingual society recognises the importance of education in languages. While there are some interventions for appointment of language teachers and promotion of classical languages, there is no comprehensive scheme or language policy and we need to have inputs on this dimension.

Israelis are taught in Hebrew which was once a dead language that no one spoke, it is now their national language. Similarly Japanese is the medium of instruction in Japan, and Korean in Korea. All these nations are leaders in science and technology, so India should be able to do the same with Sanskrit. And, we would have access to our own great literary treasure instead of having to depend on the interpretations of foreigners.

As a child is most benefited by learning in his/her mother tongue, complete primary education should be in mother tongue. Once the child gets into high school (i.e., 6th class), it would be good to stick to just 2 languages. English for international acceptance and job; and Sanskrit for actual education. One can not be a good Indian without studying Literature, Shastras and Philosophy in Sanskrit directly. Translations would not do. Therefore children should be thoroughly exposed to Sanskrit.

The policy of English as the medium of instruction has only popularized an uncouth and pidgin English among Indians, which is suitable mainly for transactional purposes. English speaking Indians know nothing of English literature. But we had a highly developed literary ethos in the vernacular languages. The best of our vernacular writers were well-versed in Sanskrit also. We must bring back this combination of Sanskrit and the vernacular as the primary languages, and English as third language.

"भारतस्य प्रतिष्ठे द्वे संस्कृतं संस्कृतिस्तथा " अयं तदेव सार्थकं भविष्यति यदा विद्यालयीय पाठ्यक्रमे त्रिभाषा सूत्रे संस्कृत भाषायाः द्वितीयभाषा रूपेण अनिवार्यतया स्थानं दीयते। यदि संस्कृत भाषायाः ह्रासः जायते चेत् अस्माकं देशस्य संस्कृतेरपि ह्रासः अवश्यमेव भविष्यति।

Wake up! English is eating our regional languages alive. Macaulay's dream is coming true. Let us keep English in its place, in international affairs and learning advanced science and technologies. The only way to turn this English tide around is to bring Samskritam back alive in our midst. It is the bedrock medium of our culture, not just Hindus but all vedic and equally non-vedic traditions of India. Sri Ambedkar was, is right on this issue. Teach Samskritam in every school.

My view is to have 3 language policy.1.national language as Sanskrit as proposed by Dr.ambedkar.2.regional language. 3. English. We can list rare languages of India and any person holds degree in that we can give yearly pension or tax exemption of 25% of his total tax payable.

Samskrut has been the cradle of Hindu civilisation and culture. Samskrut is also known as the mother of most Indian languages. Due to historical reasons, Samskrut lost its pre-eminence and went out of common usage. But truly, Samskrut has gone right into the bone marrow of Indians. To bring back our lost social ethos and restore national pride, Samskrut must be brought back into the mainstream in the country. Samskrut, definitely, has the potential of becoming our national language.
