RE:ENGLISH WORDS DERIVED FROM SANSKRIT
by Ravindran Ramamurti on Jul 05, 2007 06:47 PM

It is quite obvious that the writer possibly is not well educated. I wonder why he has not included the hindi word for biscuit ( it is called as biscoot in Hindi) Probably he is not aware that English has borrowed liberally from several languages (this the beauty of English. Is he aware that Jagannath (Orissa) has inspired a word in English. Is he aware that postpone which has been wrongly used by many Indians for years together has finally been recognized as such in English today?

Such supid (though patriotic(sic!) statements are to be avoided in the intellectual circles.
