Sanskrit fanatics' mischief to deny English to masses
Dr. K. Jamanadas, "shalimar", Main Road, Chandrapur -442 402
According to a news, Chinese officials are visiting India to recruit English teachers and select institutions where Chinese students can come and learn English. By 2008, when China Olympics are organized, everybody in China should know English. Whatever advantage India has now over China in the field of IT would vanish after that. The policy to increase knowledge of English in their countries is not only the policy of China alone but that of all East Asian countries.
But what is the situation in India? <b>A reputed institution, C-Dac, is busy praising Sanskrit as the most suitable language for computers. No "intellectual" felt sorry for such a disgraceful statement. </b>Despite all other languages in the world, to <b>consider one particular language as god-given (to the Brahmins of India) is the worst form of imprudence and arrogance.</b>
Caste superiority
Sanskrit has nothing to do with computer language, which is a binary language, a language of 1s and 0s, a language of on and off, a computer being nothing but a collection of millions of fast-acting switches. Those who claim that Sanskrit is a computer language have got a cruel and malevolent intention of projecting the misdeeds of their forefathers. A scholar in them is dead, only a caste superiority prejudice is seen in their such statements.
They are busy developing software for promoting Indian regional languages on computers. Vijay Bhatkar, the erstwhile OBC chief of this prestigious institution which could develop a super computer, was awarded "Maharashtra Bhusan". Unfortunately he engaged himself in providing Dnyaneshwari to the Varkaris of Alandi. Dnyaneshwari is a Marathi rendering of the Gita of 13th century which strengthened and propagated Chaturvarna after the fall of Budhism. <b>It was the time when Brahminism raised its head and its leaders, to divide the masses keeping themselves united, started promoting regional languages all over the country around 1,000 AD.</b>
Selling mothers
When I tried to impress to the "computer specialists" the importance of English for India, a "highly educated" computer specialist pointed out that Amrutanjan publishes its sale brochures in 19 Indian languages. Of course, it will do that. It is a business house. To earn profit is their aim. The business people even sell their mothers if it brings them money.
But C-Dac is not a profit-oriented institution or it should not be. And if it tried to be such it deserves to be shut down. If it is a "national" institution, <b>it must promote the real national language of the country ÃÃEnglish and nothing else.</b> <!--emo&:mad--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Though only 2% people know English, they are the opinion-makers and the whole of India thinks in English may it be agriculture, industry, law, medicine, sports, commerce, accounting, cinema, literature, poetry or any other field of life.
More, the then Maharashtra Education Minister was criticized by Sanskrit-loving scholars for introducing English subject from primary classes. He had retorted that this criticism was out of "conceit and ego" with a desire to retain their monopoly and pointed out that the wards of 13 past chairpersons of Marathi Sahitya Sammelan were being educated in English convents.
Microsoft warned
All the specialists in information technology must concentrate on English and even ask Miscrosoft, who are reportedly contemplating developing regional languages to refrain from doing this. <b>Let all the sufferers for centuries remember that the Sanskrit-knowing people made it their monopoly for centuries and kept the majority in ignorance, poverty and slavery. They are now doing the same with English.</b> <!--emo&:roll--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ROTFL.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ROTFL.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The Bahujans must note the motive of these people is to keep the masses in ignorance. <b>Don't forget that Brahminism controlled masses through language. </b>For details, see my "Decline and Fall of Budhism" (Blumoon Books, New Delhi, 2004).
Hindi now propagated by Hindi cinema is in reality Urdu, now being refashioned as Hindustani. But many orthodox Hindus are not willing to accept even that as the national language because of the hate for words from languages spoken by their former cultural conquerors. Sociologist Bal Krishna Nair laments about the opinion of elites that the adoption of Hindustani as the official language in place of Hindi would not be in keeping with the Brahminical revival that is making itself prominently felt in India during the post-independence period. The lovers of Sanskrit are the same people who are today asking others to adopt vernaculars but send their own children to English schools.
<b>What did the propagators of Sanskrit give to the people of his country apart from disintegration and slavery of centuries?</b> What kind of society they have produced? A society full of discriminations where more than half the people are unfit even for a touch, another one-third driven to forests and another group whose occupation is crime, a society where prostitution is practiced in the name of god and religion, a society where suicide is sacrosanct, a society where uttering obscene abuses is a part of religion, a society where daughters are murdered immediately after birth, a society where widows are burnt on the funeral pyre of their husbands, a society where a vast section of people are deprived from holding any property, holding any arms, getting any education, a society where taking a marriage procession on a public road brings atrocities, murder, rape and arson, a society where nearly the whole country use the public roads as a toilet. And one expects these very sufferers of this extreme exploitation to regard this language as holy and sacrosanct.
Regional languages divided the country into linguistic nations. Let us remember Dr. Ambedkar saying that the dividing line between linguistic provinces and linguistic nations is very thin.
