>Whenever I have met foreigners or the English educated elite of India they

>say ' India is a complex country, it has so many languages and dialects'.

>Their words have always foxed me, are we so complex?. And the recent

>controversy on learning of Sanskrit. I remember Barkha Dutt of Star News

>asking a Punjabi Sardar women whether she would learn Sanskrit. Obviously

>the innocent lady saw no connection between modern day Punjabi and

>Sanskrit. Recent events goaded me to reading about the origin of Indian

>languages and the Central Idea behind them. Having read about seven Indian

>languages I realized the impact of Sanskrit on them. What is Life without

>sharing? Knowledge and Wealth is what we shall leave behind, it is only our

>Karmas that we will take on our next journey. Here are the first three

>articles on Indian languages.

>

>1. Sanskrit - The article starts with the words of Sri Aurobindo on

>why must we know Sanskrit followed by an ' Introduction on Development of

>Indian languages by Shri K M Munshi' and Scientific Literature in Sanskrit

>after which follows the development of language and literature over 11

>periods starting from the Vedic period to 1947.

>2. Hindi - The article starts with the development of regional

>Prakrits 500 a.d. followed by Modern day Regional languages 1000 a.d.,

>developments in Hindi from 1300 to 1947 and lastly the Scripts in use in

>India.

>

>3. Punjabi - The article tells you its origin and growth and its

>development from 1300 to 1947 a.d. It covers the Pre-Nanak period,

>compilation of Adi-Granth Sahib, how sayings of certain Sufi saints got

>into the Holy Book and writings of my hero Guru Govind Singhji.
