The "Warrior" of Sanskrit ScholarshipIn this stirring address, Shri Chamu Krishna Shastry (Chairman, Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti) pays tribute to the tireless work of Rajiv Malhotra and the Infinity Foundation. Speaking at the official launch of the Sanskrit translation of The Battle for Sanskrit, Shastry frames the book not merely as literature, but as a critical tool for India’s Cultural Independence.He acknowledges Rajiv Malhotra as a "warrior" who has spent three decades defending the Dharmic Traditions against Western Universalism and Academic Hinduphobia. Shastry asserts that while traditional scholars have maintained the Guru-Shishya Parampara, they have often lacked the tools to fight the modern Narrative Warfare that Rajiv Malhotra provides.Key Event Highlights:❖ Endorsing the "Digestion" Framework: Shastry explains why the world of Sanskrit scholarship owes a debt of gratitude to Rajiv Malhotra for identifying the Decontextualization of sacred texts.❖ Call for Institutional Integration: An appeal to all Sanskrit universities to conduct seminars on this work to counter the Loss of Adhikara.❖ A New Commentary Style: Shastry predicts that this book will initiate a new tradition of discourse, much like the arrival of "New Logic" in the past.Who Is Raising Your Children? - For Consciousness Theory - in the Ganga - Jati Caste - Battle For IIT's - of future Machines - heads of Ravana - support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए:
