dated February 28, 1957: C.V. Raman and Sanskrit

 

 

The Sanskrit Commission, at its sittings in Bangalore, interviewed

Dr. C.V. Raman, who expressed the view that the people were rooted in

Sanskrit. " It was truly the national language. It was wrong to say

that it was dead; it was very much alive and it embodies everything

we call ours. " He could not imagine a day, Dr. Raman said, when they

could give up English. The sooner they recognised this fact, the

better it was. After English, came Sanskrit, in which was embodied

all the culture of the country. No Indian could fail to be stirred by

Sanskrit, an essential element in the education of every Indian.

Everyone should be made to read, write and speak in Sanskrit.
