[QUOTE="TEUser2K1, post: 2500652, member: 12933"] [USER=101429]@dvader[/USER] > I understand people in the West quoting English translations of Sanskrit Text cuz If they could understand the original why would they need translation? But Indian universities never do, I know this cuz my Grandfather's friend was a Sanskrit Professor and why would they need to I mean it seems tautological. Your expectations from Indian professors about Sanskrit is very very high. Indian academia very much depend on English translations routinely to understand and learn Sanskrit based articles / books. Lot of studies from Germans too. Generally mothers do influence language, but mothers are not the sole torch bearers of mother tongue. Mothers have nothing much to do with mother tongue, abject reality is that they marry economically or otherwise higher men than them and uproot themselves there. These days education, mass media, etc. grossly set direction on how languages are spoken. Even local deviations of languages are disappearing and are adopting TV / media slang and pronunciations.
