Innovation in Sanskrit is the key to this, but there are many obstacles in the success of these innovations, which require determination with skill to overcome them. Sanskrit is the precious gem of the past and the key to the future. No one doubts its scientificity and utility in the present era from a linguistic point of view, but still our educational system has often failed to take effective steps for Sanskrit teaching & learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IV. <\/strong>Discussion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sanskrit, as one of the oldest existing languages, has contributed immensely towards shaping the history of India\u2019s culture and civilization. But even today, its beauty, logic and almost flawless structure bring a universal appeal. The proper use of Sanskrit in everyday life can endow its user with enhanced creativity and imagination, clearer thinking, deeper concentration and better memory. Not only does Sanskrit help students to gain self-confidence and clarity in speech, language skills and logical thinking, it also enhances their skill and understanding in other, seemingly unrelated subjects like science, mathematics and computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Sanskrit generates a deeper awareness in students of themselves and everything around them. These are timeless qualities. Sanskrit\u2019s versatility of expression, its amazing power to create new words, its ability to meet the challenges and needs of the future, its incredible flexibility, and its utility in this age of science and technology\u2026. Innovative ideas in education are making pedagogies effective, collective & attractive. Sanskrit has also developed some new forms of teaching learning tools. These tools are so effective to create attraction in new era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today Sanskrit has become the official language of Uttarakhand1<\/sup><\/strong> and Himachal Pradesh2<\/sup><\/strong>. Sanskrit is taught at upper primary, secondary and higher secondary level in many universities, colleges and schools in India. Various programs & schemes are being organized for the promotion of Sanskrit language by various institutions like Sanskrit Bharati3<\/sup><\/strong><\/em>, Lokbhasha Prachar Samiti<\/em>, Bharat Sanskrit Parishad, Sanskrit Promotion Foundation4<\/sup><\/strong> and Central Sanskrit University5<\/sup><\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wikipedia says- \u201cSanskrit is a classical language<\/a> belonging to the Indo-Aryan<\/a> branch of the Indo-European languages<\/a>. It arose in South Asia<\/a> after its predecessor languages had diffused<\/a> there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age<\/a>. Sanskrit is the sacred language<\/a> of Hinduism<\/a>, the language of classical Hindu philosophy<\/a>, and of historical texts of Buddhism<\/a> and Jainism<\/a>. It was a link language<\/a> in ancient and medieval South Asia, and upon transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia<\/a>, East Asia<\/a> , and Central Asia<\/a> in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture<\/a>, and of the political elites in some of these regions. As a result, Sanskrit had a lasting impact on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies.\u201d6<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble awarded Prof. Amartya sen<\/em> says- \u201cWe live in the present, but that is tiny bit of time, it passes as we talk. The current moment as vivid as it is, does not tell us much about who we are, how we can reasonably see ourselves and where we would place our loyalties if and when we face divisions. Our identities are strongly influenced by the past.\u201d7<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

After independence, Acharya Narendra Dev<\/em> had said \u2013 \u201cOn being independent, our responsibility has increased a lot. It is our duty to give a special place to the study of Sanskrit learning in the curriculum and encourage the work of investigation. There is respect in the world because of the great men of the modern age and because of its ancient culture. It would be a matter of regret if we do not pay due attention to this essential duty and show indifference towards the protection and growth of Sanskrit literature.\u201d8<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many language experts in India, Who strongly recommend that there is no need to speak or express their thoughts in Sanskrit. We may only try to understand the scriptures & this is sufficient for this era. Educationist like Dr. Raghunath Safaya<\/em> writes in his book ‘Sanskrit Shikshan’<\/em> – “The ability to express ideas or thoughts in simple language (Sanskrit). This objective cannot be stressed enough. Understanding Sanskrit is more important in Sanskrit, not expression. We expect from the student that he\/she can study the texts after getting the knowledge of Sanskrit. There is no need to express your original thoughts in Sanskrit.\u201d9<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive change in the field of Sanskrit in the present education system, for which the National Education Policy 2020 has paved the way. The emphasis on multilingualism in the New Education Policy 2020 is evident from the use of this word more than 200 times in the entire 66-page document, indicating that the dominance and importance of language has been given utmost in this education policy.10<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanskrit has its significant place in this multilingualism.11<\/sup><\/strong> We have to find answers to the bitter questions of Sanskrit language’s prevalence, utility and future significance.12 <\/sup><\/strong>That is why meaningful initiative is also needed to give Sanskrit a proper place in the education system. Although millions of students are studying Sanskrit under classes 6 to 8 in the schools of India, but their learning has been limited to the memorization of only a few shlokas<\/em> and some root-word forms. Will it be enough to learn from the linguistic point of view? If not, today there is a need for a radical change in the fundamental ideology and methods of Sanskrit teaching. In the present era, there are two aspects regarding Sanskrit language-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
