Nothing to do with colonialism. Present day right wing will characterize Sanskrit as word of God
- bergerjac 5y agoJust because people are perceiving the "present day right wing [characterizing] Sanskrit", doesn't mean that everyone interprets & connects that with Sanskrit. I engage with the language through Yoga, mantras and chanting,… and zero politicians interrupt that process, nor do I think about them. Sanskrit has lived even before humans invented the idea of "the right wing".
- jimsimmons 5y agoNone of what you describe is actually engaging with language. Politicians don’t have to interrupt. They just have to make it a part of their agenda and spread fake pride to the masses. It’s better than opium.
