[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit in Pakistan

[Shrinivas Tilak]

 Members of the Indology group often provide links to very interesting topics pertaining to Sanskrit etc to a newspaper in India. Unfortunately, there is a torrent of ads that you need to negotiate before you finally are able to reach to the story. I am often tempted to give up and not proceed. Is there some way to archive the story in an ads-free location?

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.
