Dear list

I am pleased to share these photos with you. Bombay Hospital at Marine Lines, South Bombay, was founded by Rameshwar Das Birla of the illustrious Birla family and was inaugurated in 1950 by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. At the entrance of its old building, two plaques have three #Sanskrit verses (two śārdūlavikrīḍita-s, one anuṣṭup) on Sardar Patel. There are a few spelling errors in the verses (breaking the metre), I am sure most members can make out the correct reading despite this.

PS: I do not know who composed these verses and would be grateful for any help on this.

All these Sanskrit works which are expressions of modern ideas through Sanskrit are death knell to the Death of Sanskrit thesis because the main point of his thesis is that Sanskrit stopped expressing contemporary ideas after 1850.

Thank you, Shankaraji for the link.

It may also be pointed out that Kavyakantha Vasishtha Ganapati Muni (1879-1936) used to address the Indian National Congress political rallies in Sanskriṭ. Unfortunately, none has been preserved. He even wrote a draft of Constitution for India.
