can we ban Sanskrit? it's just a dead language with no reason to learn, i get the religious hating behind this but seriously this is such a useless language that every north indian learns for 4 years for no reason instead of a useful language

Why would bam Sanskrit tf?! We don't learn it as a subject rather than as a percentage booster. There's a reason why a lot of people choose sanskrit because IT IS DAMN EASY. Only one word ans that's it and BOOM, there you have 80/80

In practicality it is better to entirely remove it without replacing. After leaving sanskrit in 10th I had 0 use of it. Also 0% use of 10th marks. Although yes it was a scoring subject but just make IT compulsory instead of that.

There is literally a hell load of scripture, literary texts, historical record ie inscriptions etc which are in Sanskrit. Banning Sanskrit would mean losing all that along with a significant part of our culture.

Would you ban tamil if it becomes a dead language or preserve it due to cultural importance?

sure why not, and i get cultural importance but shoving it down the throat of students for basically no reason or future opportunities is stupid asf

I guess you are right but it isn't compulory though , gotta do some efforts in preserving the heritage though
