Sanskrit language has the potential to unite the country, keeping aside
all differences. He was speaking after inaugurating Hassan district

Sanskrit is the mother of many
languages. Many languages in the world, including English, have borrowed
words from Sanskrit. “People of every region in the country can easily
relate with Sanskrit and that is the best tool to unite the country.
There are many great works in Sanskrit. As the future generations have
to study them, learning Sanskrit is necessary”, he said.
