I learnt Sanskrit grammar and Maths from my father. Starting from my school to college I always got full marks in Sanskrit grammar. Most of my friends disliked Sanskrit and they felt relieved from it when they were in college !In my time Sanskrit was compulsory in school syllabus.
They were surprised to know that I loved the subject!
My father used to say if your concept of the Sanskrit grammar had been well, the grammar of English or Bengali would never be of any problem.
It was true for me; I always scored full marks in the grammar of any languages.
I wanted to write what I explored...........
In Sanskrit , there are three genders : Male ,Female & Neutral.[Or Kliblinga]
I haven't heard yet whether any other than Sanskrit language mentioned about the third gender. Since the rebellious noises of LGBTQ. and acceptance of existence to their demand by Court in most civilized States , my adoration and faith on this divine language has become enchanting; I am curious to know deeply the language .
We had a 'panini vyakaran' in my Parents' house . Parent passed away ; parents house are owned by those to whom old books are nothing but garbage!
From last few years I am feeling the importance of ancient languages.
In sanskrit 'Kabya' I found lots of 'tribal' terms too. in the Sanskrit .........
The very Languages on which knowledge , the whole gamut of informations are based, have been pathetically neglected for the new quest of scientific innovations.
For a long time scientific innovations and marvels of technology charmed us , mesmerized us while culture/research of languages was overlooked, neglected about it as an orphan. Both literature and Scientific research are necessary equally for keeping the balance of human civilization;
Otherwise human civilization would be limping.Each and every language is vitally important for human progress.
It is a great blessing that Sanskrit is the ancient language which was able to retain itself in 'Panini 'which was the most ancient grammar book : ... 'perhaps nothing was lost' . We are grateful to the pioneers of 'YOU TUBE , Face-book , Google ,Wikipedia, etc for recovering the 'Panini'.
More than ten thousand ago Sanskrit language acknowledged the existence of 'Third Gender'! Isn't it amazing ?
I composed a poem 11years ago about 'HIJRAH'.[= third Gender ] I remembered it was the evening of mothers' day, 2013.
It seemed to me that the poem was written by some spirit through me.
Consciously , I never knew that I had any soft corner for this tribe..... While writing, so much tear rolled down from my eyes to wet the page of the copy that many words blurred. Last year I saw the old copy with distorted words, while cleaning the cupboard . I restored the poem !
