[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit in Pakistan

[Antonia Ruppel]

Dear Madhav,

Thank you for sharing this! Here's the original piece in the Tribune that
The Wire is referring to:

https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/india/sanskrit-returns-to-pak-varsity-first-time-since-partition/

Shahid Rasheed, who is behind this initiative, is a true polymath and
co-founder of a school trust (
https://i-care-foundation.org/charity/zaawiya-trust-school/). I think he
began learning Sanskrit with McComas and has been doing Latin and Greek
(and some more Sanskrit) with me at Yogic Studies for a while now.
