I can bet my life that none of them would even know what Sanatan Dharma actually means.

'If Firoze Khan joins, then he will want a holiday every Friday'; protesting BHU students unfazed by RSS reproach, say they are defending Sanatan Dharma.

Shahidullah was the first Muslim student to graduate with Honours in Sanskrit from Calcutta University. When a few teachers refused to teach him, the then VC, Ashutosh Mukherjee (Father of Shyamaprasad Mukherjee) firmly stood behind him. #FirozeKhan 2/3

In 2006, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, an org dedicated to the establishment of a #HinduRashtra , was boasting about many Muslims teaching #Sanskrit in #UP : https://t.co/A1hpBscJdj . 2019- #BHU students hounding #FirozeKhan .
Muslims teaching Sanskrit in UP - Hindu Janajagruti Samiti

Lord Macaulay had said in 1835 that if we preach Indian to love English and leave Sanskrit, they shall be dominated. Now Muslims recognised the power of Sanskrit and they are learning it. What about Hindus? We need to regain status of Sanskrit in BharatBhoomi, so that every Bharatvasi shall know the real mothertongue of this motherland. - Editor
