Unity in diversity Sanskrita Bhasha

Wherever we go in India, if it is not a Western name, then definitely, it must have originated from Sanskrit. Ananya, Tooriya, Rik, Aishwarya, Susmita….Divakar, Saurav, Prakash, Pravas…Though we have so many different Indian languages, our root words are the same. What better proof can be there.
The British had tried to rift us apart in the name of Arya and Dravida and made to believe that Aryas had come from outside.
In Odisha, highest number of Sanskrit scripts still prevail. Probably we had another source language prior to Sanskrit and Tamil. But with time everything has a potential to change or be lost.
While our stay in Puducherry, initially I found Tamil very different from other languages and they claimed that they have so many alphabets.
When gradually I understood their language, found that in Tamil today we use one alphabet for 4 alphabets that is being used for other languages. Example: Shanmugapriya, it must have come from “Shanmukhapriya” Beloved of Lord Kartikeya who has 6 faces. But since one alphabet is used for ka, kha, ga and gha, this kind of deviation is seen.
Not to hurt anyone’s feeling, as an outsider I just tried how the language river takes turn and picks up something and leaves out something. But if we analyse names of all regions, they’ll definitely root towards Sanskrit. Without our knowledge, we are using so much of Sanskrit everyday.
Yet another deviation is seen in modern Hindi. Usually, in Sanskrit, even in Odia and all south Indian languages, all the sentences and most of the words end in “a” ଅ, अ, ‘am’ -ମ୍, अम्, ‘ah’अः or , ଅଃ . This ends our sentence with full expiration i.e. while talking also we do a little bit of pranayam.
But with influence of Urdu, gradually all Hindi words are ending with halant now, shortening the words! So much so that, when common mass of Hindi people try to talk in Sanskrit, they find it difficult as for them in every word, at the end halant gets inserted subconsciously. If we read the Hanuman Chalisha, one can make out the facts of the above words.
Odias use all three “Sa” as dantya Sa, whereas Bengalis use it as “sha”.
Hence introduction of Sanskrit and teaching done by well-trained Sanskrit pedagogues and re-evaluating all the regional languages will unify us again. Sanskrit is the link to unity in diversity.
