This mail is regarding the census.
There was lot of discussion on this topic.

I request you all to kindly read the page in the following link:

 Most people might not be able to write "Sanskrit" as answer  to Question 10.

  BUT

  Most of the people in this group and many many others in the country can write "Sanskrit" as answer to Question 11.

----------------

  Numbers matter in democracy ....... especially in India.

The country was partitioned based on numbers. Infact cities like Lahore and  Chittagong should have been in India, but due to some carelessness of some leaders of the previous generation, those places have become alien lands.

Be it in the labour union or students union or even in political parties,
giving inflated numbers is the norm.

Nowadays reality TV shows have become very popular in many  provinces of  India. After each performance  by some participant, the audience are  requested to vote by sending an sms. I was taken aback, when I saw  banners  and posters  displayed  publicly in a village near my hometown, asking  people to vote for a certain participant as he belonged to their particular  community. They never bother about the merit of the participants. What is  more important is to which social group the participant belongs.

  There are many 'superstars' in the film world. It is a well-known fact that   a film of a particular actor  will run to packed houses in some particular  towns where the people belonging to that actor's community reside in  huge numbers.

  I also know of some villages where the people have been speaking a
particular language for the past so many generations. But in the last census  , they gave their language as something else  which was totally alien to the  land

  If there is more numbers, then more funds are allocated for the development  of the language ; there will be provisions made to teach that language in  the schools ; more teachers are appointed; etc...

  And if the numbers are small,  the funds allotted is small, teaching of that  language in schools is some times done away with etc.....

This is the ground reality.
 
Hence I request all the Sanskrit knowing people to declare Sanskrit as the   answer to  Question 10

 
Aapatkaala dharmah -:)


  ASHVATTHAAMA  HATAH .   Hatah kunjarah.



  But if you feel yourselves to be more truthful than Yudhishtirah, then
  atleast declare Sanskrit as the first answer to Question 11.
