.Governor's words
[ 10 Feb, 2007 0159hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
"However, the governor, who is also the chancellor of the university, was
taken away safely from the place. Not only students, but teachers too felt hurt
with his speech and remarks therein."
What a fool. I dare him to give such a derogatory speech to any group
that holds and cherishes any ideal. He only dares because he thought Hindus were
sheep. What would he do if he knew that Government Ministers in Mexico are
supporting Vedic research in Mexico. It is truly a fact that Hindu Dharma &
India's greatest enemies are Indians. At least its also obvious that India's
greatest Supporters are Indians as well. Ravana and Vibhishan. Duryodhana and
Yudhisthira. I guess its not a new phenomenon. V
VARANASI: Governor T V Rajeswar would not have imagined that his
well-meaning advice to students of Sampurnanand Sanskrit University (SSU) for
career building would invite their uncontrolled ire, forcing him to leave the
place unceremoniously under security cover.
The governor, who was addressing the convocation at SSU on Friday afternoon, had
to leave the place amidst utter chaos and slogan shouting.
Protesting against his remarks against Sanskrit learning, the students not only
threw chairs and shoes at the convocation venue, but also turned violent,
indulging in brick-batting at the main gate targeting the motorcade.
However, the governor, who is also the chancellor of the university, was taken
away safely from the place. Not only students, but teachers too felt hurt with
his speech and remarks therein.
Everything was going on as per schedule at the convocation until the address of
the Governor, who was presiding over the function.
The entire audience was shocked when he described Sanskrit learning as worthless
in this age of science and technology.
He said that Sanskrit learning would lead students to the bail-gadi yug (age of
bullock-carts). "Sanskrit is no longer the language of God,"he said adding that
the knowledge of English and science was essential in this age for a bright
career.
He went on to say he would take a lead for amendment in state universities
regulation for compulsory education of English.
He exhorted Sanskrit students to come out of the age-old confines of the
language and look forward to learning modern things for development.
He said that even Greek and Latin languages were out of the syllabus of western
universities while Sanskrit was being taught in most Indian schools even today,
he said.
He added that languages like Sanskrit and Persian had been promoted by the
British to divide and rule the country.
Not in SSU alone, the governor had earlier also called upon students at the
convocation at Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth (MGKV) to rise above the Vedic
and Gandhian studies in this age of modern science to ensure their place and
position in modern-day metros.
"Aj zamana badal raha hai. Sirf Vedic aur Gandhian studies se aap log aage nahin
badh sakate hain,"he said. He said that students should move ahead with the
time, leaving out-dated traditions behind.
This speech of the governor annoyed students, who were there to receive their
degrees. Seeing their restlessness the function was cut short and the National
Anthem hurriedly sung.
However, the students created a scene at the venue, hurling chairs and shoes.
They also raised slogans against the governor
