Totally agree. He has not only presented a choice in language but also a choice in vocation.

"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.

All I am saying is this is a very materialistic view of living life and as things are thats how a lot of people see things. Why just Vedic, Gandhian studies - any studies besides engg and medical are considered an utter waste of time. But society will evolve, if lage-raho-munnabhai can make gandhigiri cool (albeit still impractical to study) I am confident Maa Saraswati is just a decade or two away from reoccupying the place she had. The flame just needs to be kept burning with a critical mass still holding that knowledge and its time shall come.
