The government of India is about to declare Sanskrit as dead language if less than
1 coroe of people declare that they do not know Sanskrit in the on going census..
1. Sanskrit is our traditional language form where Marathi has evolved
2. We must save Sanskrit at any cost and if we are not than the future generation will never forgive us.

GURGAON: Acclaimed author and linguist
Umberto Eco
once compared languages to
biological creatures. A language, he said, follows an organic lifespan - it is born,
it grows old, and it passes away.
If the analogy holds, then Sanskrit, one of the most ancient of tongues which
originated in India, seems to be living the last of its grizzled and decrepit years.

There has been talk of declaring it a dead language, and some believe that it is only
a matter of time before this language too goes :
the way of ancient Greek and Latin.
