Sanskrit should be brought to common man: RSVP Chancellor

Tirupati, Mar 13 (UNI) Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha (RSVP) Chancellor V R Panchamukhi today stressed the need to bring Sanskrit into conversation in society.

To propagate Sanskrit, which was playing key role in the all sectors and reflected the glorious heritage of our country, all media channels should provide more time for the language in their daily programmes.

Forgetting Sanskrit was equal to forgetting our glorious heritage. Before freedom, all leaders had praised the language. Even Dr B R Ambedkhar stressed that Sanskrit should be adopted as an official language, Former Bihar Governor Rama Jois recalled.

It was unfortunate after Independence, Sanskrit was neglected and preference given to Hindi, claimed.
