Recently there is a great controversy on Sanskrit teaching at Intermediate/PU level in Andhra pradesh. The central point being Sanskrit is spoiling the learning process of Telugus as mother tongue. Because, 99.99 corporate colleges offer Sanskrit/French as second language and says no to Telugu. So, because of this Telugu is greatly damaged even in communication. Children forget their mother tongue is become the issue.
Interestingly, Sanskrit has contributed to most of the Indian lanuguages and especially to Telugu. 60% of its vocabulary borrowed from the mother Sanskrit. Taking from the Sri Madandhra Mahabharatam to the present day news papers, Sanskrit is an inseparable part of the lanuguage.
Since most of the students join in corporate colleges, studied in English medium they don't have any Telugu flavour in their school education. Naturally they go for Sanskrit instead of Telugu/French because they have a chance to write exam in English. Just by studying Sanskrit for two years at Intermediate level, no damage is seen to Telugu in reality. Let the parents talk in Telugu to their children. Let the Telugu TV channels use pure Telugu language or from primary education itself teach Telugu and Sanskrit compulsarily for 100 marks.
There are numerous ways to solve this issue, but not by banning Sanskrit language from curriculum.
