प्रियाः संस्कृतानुरागिणः, संस्कृतभारत्याः परतया दयानिधिमारन्-महोदयाय पत्रं प्रेषितं वर्तते, भवन्तः अपि एतादृशं पत्रं प्रेषितुं शक्नुवन्ति। To, Mr. Dayanidhi Maran, M.P., Lok Sabha. Sir, I heard your objection about Sanskrit in the Parliament. You are misinformed that Sanskrit is not an official language of any state. Two States one is Uttarakhand and other is Himachal Pradesh where Sanskrit is the 2nd official language of the state. Not only that, whenever there is All India Conference any where in the country represented by all states, the language of communication is either English or Sanskrit. So, only two languages are actually All India languages. Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Sindhi languages though included in 22 languages according to 8th schedule of the constitution, are not an official language of any state. But all are included in language conversion programme as other 18 languages including Sanskrit. You had no objection about other four nonofficial languages. You only chose Sanskrit for your objection. So, your arguments are baseless. You may be knowning that the most of the languages and dialects of India are based on Sanskrit. Only DMK have a different story. Your well wisher. *Contact details and address* [email protected] [email protected] Permanent Address 3, First Avenue, Boat Club Raja Annamalai Puram Chennai Tamil Nadu 600028 Tel : (044) 24371515,9840022728 Present Address 100 Lodhi Estate New Delhi NCT of Delhi 110003 Tel:24621515, 9840022728 (M)
