To TIFR, to learn Sanskrit

This post looks like a reply to my earlier post, dated 10th Oct 2008, where a school in London, UK has taken initiative to teach sanskrit to its students as a compulsory course for at least six years. Now you dont need to go to London to learn Sanskrit, instead you can now visit Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), premiere research institute in India, for the same. TIFR is now a days conducting workshop for “Sanskrit Sambhaashan” for 10 days (16/06/08 – 27/0608), with the help of volunteers of Sanskrit Bharati, a non-profit organisation working to bring Sanskrit back into daily life. I guess this is a good initiative by TIFR and other institutes and universities should follow from here. At this point, I dont think we need to mention the importance of the language once again.
I guess u r trying to thank the sanskrit bharti ppl for the favor they did to u years back by dedicating this post to them and to sanskrti, more importantly, hai naa… ok ok, jokes apart, its a really good thought to make sanskrit teaching compulsary…
