Sanskrit Classics

A well-known UK-based Sanskrit scholar and the Executive Director of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan centre in London has been conferred an honorary MBE by King Charles III for services to Indian classical arts in Britain.

A village in Assam is known as 'Sanskrit Village' as all the people here have been speaking this ancient and classical language since 2015.

Scholar Sheldon Pollock will stay on as mentor and chief editor of the Murty Classical Library, Rohan Murty, founder of the multi-million dollar project of translating historic Indian works to English, has said, even as an online campaign for his removal intensified on Thursday.

Very few of us will contest that India's classical, literary heritage is vast and precious. But very few of us have really accessed this heritage. Language is a big issue that comes in the way of both modern day Indians and people around the world dipping into the ocean of India's classical literature.

Taking strong exception to Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) Sanskrit Week celebrations in schools under its ambit next month, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today said it would be appropriate to have organised a 'Classical Language Week' in each state based on its linguistic heritage.
