Sanskrit is mother of Indian Languages, vital for global knowledge: Shah
New Delhi: Emphasising the foundational role of Sanskrit, Union Home Minister on Sunday said, "We don't oppose any language — but no one can live separated from their mother. And Sanskrit is the mother of nearly every Indian language. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The stronger Sanskrit becomes, the stronger every Indian language and dialect will be." Shah was speaking at the concluding ceremony of the Sanskrit Sambhashan Shivir organised by Sanskrit Bharati at Delhi University's North Campus sports complex. Highlighting Sanskrit's vast knowledge systems, Shah said, "The wisdom of yoga, mathematics, grammar, time calculation, environment, and more is enshrined in Sanskrit. We must understand and adopt it. To bring this knowledge to the global stage, the central government is spending Rs 500 crore on collecting and simplifying manuscripts." He stressed that Sanskrit predates colonialism and must be revived with pride. "When you start speaking in Sanskrit, you begin to think in it. Eventually, it won't just come from your mouth — it will emerge from your soul." "Today, India has a favourable environment for the revival of Sanskrit — whether it's the govt, the people, or the national mindset. With this alignment, the pace and impact of your work will only grow. India has never been a country that patents knowledge; our knowledge is meant for the world," he added. Praising Sanskrit Bharati's grassroots work, Shah said that since 1981, one crore people have been introduced to Sanskrit and one lakh teachers trained. He noted that 5.2 million manuscripts have been documented, with 3.5 lakh digitised. "This knowledge will benefit not just India but the entire world. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Even foreign thinkers like Einstein, Max Müller, Nikola Tesla, and Johannes Kepler have all acknowledged Sanskrit as a scientific language." Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the special guest, corroborated Shah's sentiment. "Sanskrit is truly our mother tongue . Parents take pride when children learn English, German, or French, but not the same pride when it comes to Sanskrit — and that mindset must change," she said. "To become a 'vishwa guru', we must embrace the knowledge stored in Sanskrit. Distancing from it by thinking it's a difficult language is incorrect—a false notion that was propagated. Nasa too has acknowledged Sanskrit as a scientific and computer-friendly language." She added that the Delhi govt spends Rs 10 crore annually to promote Sanskrit, with 750 PGT and 3,250 TGT teachers in schools. Sanskrit Bharati's Jaiprakash said Sanskrit is simple and joyful. "A narrative was created to alienate it, but India's culture is preserved in Sanskrit." The event featured a Sanskrit band, regional dance performances, and camps across 1,008 Delhi locations, where 25,000 participants learned to speak Sanskrit.
