On India
THEME/S
(Mother is asked for a list of languages to be studied at Auroville.)
Tamil.
French.
Simplified Sanskrit to replace Hindi as the language of India.
English as the international language.
(About this time, Mother made the following remark to Kireet Joshi:)
If only one language is taught, it should be international. But for the general development of students, several languages are needed.
Sanskrit should be the real national language. It is only Sanskrit which will be ultimately acceptable to the people of India. Sanskrit is the only language which creates an equal handicap for all the parts of the country, so that nobody has a natural advantage over others in learning it. When I speak of Sanskrit, it should be simple Sanskrit, but not "simplified."
When India goes back to her soul, Sanskrit will naturally become India's national language.
