| At last a University that bears the name Sanskrit | | | | gram panchayat area is considered as Sanskrit |
| has come to existence in Karnataka. This is the | | | | village. Since the days of remote past, Matturu in |
| first Sanskrit University in Karnataka. | | | | Karnataka has been considered as Sanskrit village. |
| Whatever shall be done on clerical level-conducting | | | | Because of the Sanskrit conversational courses |
| examinations, delivering marks cards, creating | | | | and camps conducted by AKSHARAM, thousands |
| more degree holders, affiliating Paathashaalaas | | | | of people are able to speak in Sanskrit with |
| (traditional schools of learning) will be definitely | | | | fluency. |
| done by this University and there is nothing | | | | This University shall make thorough scrutiny that |
| special. | | | | whether the speakers' language is pure, I mean to |
| But one thing is certain. Most of the | | | | say that how far the speakers' diction |
| Paathashaalaas have poor academic environment. | | | | represents the correct Sanskrit? How can one |
| No library, no furniture, no spacious rooms for | | | | remove the excessive influence of non-Sanskrit |
| teaching. Some buildings are very old. This | | | | languages? What about traditional way of |
| University shall rectify all these anomalies. | | | | speaking? |
| The University is seen differently by the | | | | What is the current scenario of traditional |
| people of different mentality. Some real scholars | | | | Shastric places like Mithila, Navadvipa, Bhavanagar |
| see an opportunity to enhance their level of | | | | and the like? What is going on in Varanasi which |
| knowledge through Sanskrit by build up contact | | | | is considered as the heaven of Shastraartha over |
| with this University. Some start to dream job | | | | centuries? There is necessity of vast survey in |
| facilities. | | | | these places. |
| Another category is there: This category | | | | Merely preparing a questionnaire is not enough. |
| focuses on only translations. Translation from | | | | Even taking interviews don't give clear picture. |
| what to what? If it is from Sanskrit, already | | | | There shall be a scheme under which some |
| there are hundreds and thousands of best | | | | trained pundits in surveying shall live in these areas |
| translation works with informative as well | | | | for at least three months. They have to speak |
| analytical introductions and useful indices available. | | | | informally with traditional pundits and students. |
| In most cases, they are published by private | | | | Only then the clear picture will be emerged from |
| publishers. If the translation is to Sanskrit, then | | | | the study. |
| the uniqueness of this University is established. | | | | Another thing is, there shall be survey of all the |
| No Sanskrit University is contemplating on | | | | Sanskrit Universities. The survey shall |
| analyzing modern Sanskrit Literature. There is no | | | | concentrate on productivity and not organized |
| encouragement for the Sanskrit poets. Apart | | | | functions. How many students have become |
| from organizing Poets' meet very rarely, no | | | | book writers in Sanskrit? How many students |
| Sanskrit University has become meeting | | | | who entered outer world have become good |
| place of Sanskrit writers. | | | | scholars? What shall be done for betterment of |
| But this University shall be bridge between real | | | | the quality in books? How shall the modern |
| Sanskritists by encouraging Sanskrit writers. It | | | | Sanskrit works represent the voice of the |
| shall focus on publishing Sanskrit works of writers | | | | people? |
| on various subjects- even on modern science | | | | I hope the real research, which shall be primary |
| subjects. If Kautilya had written a work on political | | | | focal point of any University will be given supreme |
| science in effective prose and that is not viewed | | | | importance and neither teaching |
| as an offence, a modern Sanskritist's writing on | | | | nor the seminars of paper presenting |
| current politics in Sanskrit definitely is not an | | | | dramas. The subject of this research mayl be |
| offence. Conducting programmes regarding | | | | Sanskrit works produced in 18th, 19th and 20th |
| creativity in lyrics, books, shastric works, | | | | centuries. This will become unique research |
| poems, short stories, novels-this shall be the part | | | | topic. Documenting the details and analysis of the |
| and parcel of activities of this University. The | | | | same shall be major concern of this University. |
| moment we talk about the literature with other | | | | Some stunt masters(but dangerous enemies of |
| languages, we cite hundreds of good publication | | | | real Sanskrit scholarship) are already |
| institutes. Since we have not such publication | | | | contemplating on how to squeeze money |
| institutes for Sanskrit, this University may rise | | | | from the government utilizing this university for |
| hope to Sanskrit writers. It is true that some | | | | their deceitful projects of Sanskrit |
| publication institutes like ‘arvaachiina | | | | ‘research'(?) . Obviously the guys of this |
| samskritam' do publish modern literature. But | | | | category don't have mastery over Sanskrit. In |
| the owners of these can not depend upon | | | | spite of (sometimes) having their Sanskrit |
| their institutes for livelihood. So these can not be | | | | degrees, they are clever only in |
| compared to good publication institutes of | | | | money-transactions. They are not enjoyers of |
| languages other than Sanskrit. Another sad thing | | | | good Sanskrit literature. Let us hope that this |
| is there is no forum anywhere in our country | | | | University shall not give entrance to these |
| for reviews for modern Sanskrit literature. | | | | swindlers even from back door. |
