Hi,
In continuation to Senthil's mail, I would like all the members of ILUGC to
go through the Macaulay's speech in British Parliament in 1835. Sorry for
attaching an image but I think this will be apt here. Regards Ravi Kumar
For eg, from 1800 to 1850, Sanskrit course was the Top Most sought one, in
most universities across Europe. That's how the europeans learned the art
of structured language, which was later incorporated in programming
languages. The Backus Naur form is essentially the Sanskrit Grammar.
On the other hand, we had been de-sanskritised, and de-educated using the
macaulyte system.
(Please dont link sanskrit with religion.. i am writing on generic
angle)..
