Sanskrit our culture
Sir—This refers to the article, “Secularism means anti-Indian” (January 22), by Indulata Das. The Hindi used in Government offices still draws heavily from Sanskrit. It is only in the private sector -— the media and entertainment industry -— that popular Hindi, deriving words from all sources, is used.

The Sanskrit words in Hindi are increasingly being replaced by Arabic and Persian words in the name of ‘simplification’. Should non-Hindi speakers, who are encouraged to learn Hindi, carry an Urdu dictionary as well? Sanskrit-based Hindi will find greater acceptance among non-Hindi-speaking Indians. Mr Subramanian Swamy said in a private gathering, “Let us so ‘Sanskritise’ Hindi that it becomes Sanskrit in the end.” Sanskrit is not merely a language but a culture as it is derived from sanskriti.
