Is "geographiya" an urdu word ? Strikes a discordant note in an otherwise smooth flow of urdu boli! In hindi it is called ' bhugol' i.e. bhoomi gol - which is a basic assumption if u want to learn modern geography.

محترمہ خاصی بڑی علمی شخصیت ہیں مگر اس سیشن میں دو لوگوں کو جھٹلا دیا پہلی مرتبہ غالب کا زکر کر کے یہ کہا کہ میں نے غالب کا زکر نہیں کیا کیونکہ میری زبان اتنی باوضو نہیں تھی بعد ازاں یہ کہا کہ اردو اگر ابلاغ کی یا خبر زبان ہے تو اس کی بے حُرمی جائز ہے بعد میں اس سے بھی مُکر گئیں تعجب ہے اسقدر تیزی سے اتنا سفید جھوٹ
Arfa Sayeda Zehra is a glib speaker, but her portrayal of Sanskrit as an example of unavoidable death of a language through ossification of expression betrays the misconceptions that her milieu has knowingly harboured within itself. She seems to call out the Islamism that has undermined cultural diversity and expression in Pakistan, but hardly realises that her own milieu is not unaffected by the same Islamism resulting in her holding pretty ignorant views about Sanskrit's relationship with cultures and consciousness of the people of India. Associating Sanskrit -- which has continued to the present times to animate almost all Indic languages and cultural memes -- with "death" shows that she has pretty crude appreciation of that relationship and she herself has not been immune from the phantasmagoria that Islam's ethnocidal and epistemicidal system builds for itself everywhere.
You don't expect a muslim to know anything about Urdu. She is, like many of her ilk, an ignoramus as far as Sanskrit is concerned. Sanskrit is a language for the refined people. It is not meant for those who are just worried about a career or a job. It is a language that helps us get in touch with our past and present heritage. Sanskrit: the most scientific, ancient, spiritual language as per Dean Brown. ww.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3cQ4hIG9w7c.html One of the great grammarians of the time, Panini (who lived in what is now Khyber-Pakhtunwa area of Pakistan) wrote one of the greatest works on grammar "Ashtadhyayi" (or a book with 8 chapters) that has not been surpassed. More recently, Sanskrit was found to be a user friendly language for computers. Rick Briggs a computer analyst felt (in the 80s) that it is ideally suited for Artificial Intelligence. There is an American Institute of Sanskrit in New York. This was started by an American Vyas Houston who learnt it from a Guru in Benaras. He teaches it in the form of chanting. He calls Sanskrit the source of Yoga, Meditation and Mantras. See this link: www.americansanskrit.com/vyaas-houston Dr Katy Jane who spent years with a scholar in Benaras after doing her Masters in sanskrit in a US Univeristy. See this video: drkatyjane.com/ about Dr Katy Jane and this video (Yoga for Sanskrit): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ikWV9Jj4beE.html Sanskrit is taught in more than 100 Universities in Japan, most Universities in US including Harvard as well as Universities in Germany, UK. There is a person teaching Sanskrit in Barcelona, Spain. See "Introduction to Sanskrit by Maria Sierra" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iYR1zq7wfnQ.html I had the privilege of spending sometime in an Ashram retreat on the outskirts of New Jersey (I live in USA). It was founded by an Indian doctor (Brahmananda) who also had a deep knowledge of Sanskrit, yoga, mediation. All these are taught there. There are 2 full time white American teachers (both women) who teach Sanskrit to all those who care to learn. One of them is from Germany and she joined the ashram in the 60s at the age of 17 or 18. She is fluent in that language. It was a pleasure to sit for a few classes with them. Sanskrit is also being revived as a spoken language by Sanskrit Bharati. See this link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KnIBwHJPWuA.html One whole district in Karnataka and M.P is declared Sanskrit literate. Which means everyone there can converse in Sanskrit. There are umpteen numbers of books, periodicals that continue to be published in this language. Many people who are not linguists (people like me) continue to learn this "devabhasha". So, anyone saying Sanskrit is a dead language is brain dead in my view.
I do agree. Sanskrit is a dead language. There are other classical languages which are taught in the universities around the world yet these are dead. I am from Karnataka and can tell you that receiving a Sanskrit literacy certificate doesn’t make one capable of Sanskrit conversation. These are govt statistics and must be taken with a fistful of salt. If you check the circulation numbers of the Sanskrit publications and check who is publishing these and who is buying, you would realize how dead Sanskrit is. In the last 50 years, how many Sanskrit movies are made and how many of them have become hit on the box office? How many Sanskrit songs have cut platinum disc? How many TV channels are in Sanskrit and what’s their viewership? What is the popular and major literary Sanskrit novel? Who’s the biggest literary poet and what’s his / her standing against any poet of other Indian language? More common people speak and understand English than Sanskrit. Also making Sanskrit Hindu Vs Muslim is wrong. Arfa is right that Sanskrit is dead. I am Hindu and I say that Sanskrit has been dead at least over two thousand years.
