Need To Set Up A Sanskrit University At Khanakul In Arambag Parliamentary ... on 5 December, 2016
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to set up a Sanskrit University at Khanakul in Arambag Parliamentary Constituency of West Bengal.
SHRIMATI APARUPA PODDAR (ARAMBAG): The foundation of Indian culture is based on the Sanskrit language. There is a misconception that it is only a language for chanting mantras in temples which is less than 5%. More than 95% of the Sanskrit literature deals with philosophy, law, science, literature, grammar, phonetics etc. Sanskrit was the language of our scientists in ancient India.
From Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Mahatma Gandhi everyone was inspired by the language. As the birth place of Raja Ram Mohan Roy is in my Arambagh Parliamentary constituency in Khanakul, I urge the Ministry of Human Resource Development to establish a Sanskrit University there.
