India's modern Sanskrit tradition, such as it is, choking to death on its own bigotry. https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2019/nov/24/bhu-teachers-call-for-removal-of-muslim-sanskrit-professor-firoz-khan-write-to-president-2066406.html?fbclid=IwAR3N1vGFbffJsiT9hT0oz1X4zQbm6KXY-bDss-LQTvWGl0gl1zi6tZM-UkI #Sanskrit #India #firozkhan

क्या धर्म को प्रमाण की आवश्कयता है, या इंसानियत की
समझने योग्य तो बस इतना ही है,
धर्म का इंसान या फिर इंसान का धर्म 🤔

I am a Muslim. I always scored 90+ in Sanskrit during school days. I somehow enjoyed the language. There were many Hindu students who struggled to get even passing marks in the subject. Our Sanskrit teacher Miss Sayyada was a muslim too.That was our childhood !

This also points out to the ugly and prevalent truth that we are still not over the divide that the country has always suffered from in the past. It's even more sad to see the divide growing wider today.

Languages and academia should not be associated to any religion.

As Ravish Kumar rightly puts it, the New India is a Bujdil India.

बुजदिल translates to weak and coward in english.

So a professor isn't allowed to teach a subject because of his religion. It is #HinduRashtra already.
