No Kannadiga in his right sense will “Say No to Sanskrit” because Kannada came from Sanskrit

Karnataka is witnessing a strange protest from internet activists. The state government’s plan to set up a Sanskrit University in Magadi in Ramanagara district is being criticised actively on social media. Many critics say that Sanskrit is being imposed at Kannada’s expense. But is it true? 

#SayNoToSanskrit campaign 

A Twitter trend is going on that is urging the government to drop its plans of building a Sanskrit University and is warning of protests in case the government goes ahead with its plans.

T A Narayanagowda, President of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, said that they won’t allow the Karnataka government to set up the varsity using Kannadiga tax-payers money. 

Prathap Kanagal, head of JD(S)’ IT wing said, “What is the need to set up a Sanskrit University using government funds?”

Activist Ganesh Chetan said, “The days of emotional blackmail with Sanskrit (and) Kannada fake mother daughter sentiment and using this to exploit gullible Kannadigas are over.”

One of the users tweeted, “What purpose does a Sankrit university serve, in Karnataka? How will it benefit Kannadigas? Dear Kannadigas, let’s stick to Kannada, alone. Sanskrit is as alien and foreign as any other lang, to us. Let’s not splurge money on this futile exercise.”

Another user tweeted, “By going at this rate, Kannada will perish in another 20 years. Imposing Hindi and now Sanskrit which is almost considered as dead language is allotted 360 crores for VV. What jobs can Kannada ppl get from Sanskrit? Stop this bootlicking.”

Karnataka needs a Sanskrit University 

The fact remains that Karnataka needs a Sanskrit University. In fact, every state in India needs one such educational institute.

It is easy to look at a minuscule minority that uses Sanskrit today and to dismiss the language as insignificant. However, Sanskrit is actually the most lively language.

According to Dr. Peter M Scharf, a renowned academician of the Sanskrit Library, Sanskrit has resiliently borne the brunt of time, and for years, it remained the primary knowledge-bearing and culture-bearing language of India. 

Sanskrit has the largest body of literature, and Panini’s grammar remains impeccable, which allows the language to adapt itself to changing circumstances.

In fact, India as a civilization could still potentially blossom from the sheer amount of Sanskrit literature present. For instance, Hindu religious works are abundant and the ability to preserve and memorize these in Sanskrit should become the routine.

Sanskrit is not alien to any language or part of India, because of the cultural significance it carries. 

Kannada is heavily influenced by Sanskrit 

Now, this is where protests against a Sanskrit University in Karnataka seem rather unreasonable. As per Dr. Scharf, all modern languages in India draw about 50 percent from Sanskrit. As per him, Malayalam and Kannada top the list when it comes to drawing from Sanskrit. 

It is widely accepted that Kannada is heavily influenced by Sanskrit. However, anti-Sanskrit activists keep claiming that Kannada didn’t originate from Sanskrit. 

Also, there is a lot of fear-mongering about Sanskrit imposition. The fact remains that Sanskrit University is no attempt at imposition. It is all about getting to the cultural roots and preserving Karnataka’s rich Sanskrit heritage. 

A Sanskrit University in Karnataka will, in fact, only enrich Kannada due to the semblance in two languages. And no one who understands this would want to say no to Sanskrit.

    All of it is just juvenile political rhetoric spearheaded by the largely irrelevant congi party, ahead of the assembly elections! As if debates on twitter are going to change the destiny of this country’s developmental trajectory! LoL!

    Logic pro max: Sanskrit is foreign but english, french, portugese, arabic & urdu are Indian! 😂😂😂 You can only thank the ultra cheap dravidian fundamentalist ideology of soriyaar & his illegitimate infantile minions for exporting this cancer of irrational regional jingoism to Kannada & Telugu lands! The bad joke however is, contrary to popular assumptions, Tamilians outside TN are the largest group who learn Hindi & Sanskrit than others! LoL!

    BTW an entire village in Mattur, Karnataka speaks only Sanskrit irrespective of religion, varna & jaati! What’re kannadiga jingoists going to do about it?

    Language politics is played by local politicians so as to keep control of the state and prevent the nationalisation wave by starting a mother tongue wave

    Karnataka is witnessing a strange horrific period. It’s the same thing that’s also happening in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu people hate Sanskrit as they feel it’s inferior when compared to their “oldest” language Tamil. They don’t like Sanskrit day also.

      The communist left political parties along with Christians have corrupted the minds of gullible Tamil population few decades ago in the name of Language games and used Tamil being the superior over Sanskrit.
      All the people including Congress party and minorities who are opposing Sanskrit and Sanskrit university why are not opposing the English which is the Language of Colonizers, Urdu which is Language of invaders, who made Indians as slaves for centuries, looted and plunders India’s wealth, destroyed India’s native culture, customs, Temples and everything?

      Don’t fall for this nonsense, it’s time native Indians to bring back their roots, culture, customs and many native Languages including Sanskrit. If we don’t work towards this restoration, our future generations will not have anything left to their Identity, history and their roots that is the ancient India.
