Sanskrit

   India is a rich country, rich with knowledge. All the ancient knowledge is buried in our country and we are unable to harness it, why ? because we cannot decode it. 99% of the population of India do not know Sanskrit. The C.B.S.E has included Sanskrit in the curriculum but only from 5th Std. and the journey ends by 9th Std, so we eventually end up as a half-baked Sanskrit learners who are good for nothing as far as the language is concerned.

But times are changing. The way the fragrance of camphor cannot be hidden, similarly Sanskrit which is considered as a "Divine" language cannot be stopped from blossoming.

We must all take some time and effort to revive this beautiful divine language which is not only rich because of its linguistic structure but it is also rich in terms of its structural intelligence which is most suitable for developing advanced computational architectures and tools.
