Kalhana, Bilhana.These scholars had not only enlighten India with their knowledge but also the entire world and they had acted for the unity of the entire world. The base of the knowledge in ancient time was Sanskrit and it is considered to be the mother of all languages, he further stated that if this language is considered to be the official language of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir then it will not be extinguished from the society. By starting this award in sanskrit, then this language shall be given new dimension for its progress as it widely accepted by many other countries of the world.
Shastri also appealed to all the parents that they should teach their children our ancient Sanskrit language and also dedicate some personal time for its development.
