Dear Nagarajji,

Your comments are absolutely on the dot.  The propogated home Sanskrit is a wonderful experiment in detecting the interaction between the actual mother-tongue like Hindi or Kannada, and the acquired second language like Sanskrit.  A Marathi friend of mine who tries to speak Sanskrit once said: "स: परस्परं गत:" with the intended meaning "He went directly [without stopping here]."  This usage became possible because the word परस्पर in Marathi has that meaning, though Sanskrit does not classically have this meaning for this expression.

Unwittingly this seems to be working out as an experiment on the possible ways in which ancient sociology of Sanskrit-Prakrit might have emerged by 'recreating' Sanskrit speaking in a certain Social class and Prakrit speaking in the other ones. Prakrit 'revival' is a bonus to Sanskrit 'revival'.

This exacting echoes my own thoughts on the matter!

The attempt to recreate day to day Sanskrit speaking seems to be leading to a new day to day Prakrit speaking .

Dear Friends,

Please allow me to share with you a recent publication on a "Sanskrit-speaking" village that has been published. I have also made some short films about it this village called Jhiri, which is in MP. They are available on YouTube "Imagining Sanskrit land".


Thanks,

Patrick
