  RE:Sanskrit as the National Language

it seems that you do not know anything about Tamil. It has only less number of sanskrit words that too because of aryans' intrusion into Tamil Nadu.
Among dravidian languages Tamil stands on its own right. You can even say Tamil is the mother of all the dravidian languages.

As I said earlier please refer to the literature you had 60 years back. Your great narrow minded leaders were hell bent on the Dravidian and Arayan cultures. Your political vultures have debauched the language and systematically got removed all the Sanskrit words.

You keep the Tamil flag above all the southern languages and we will be happy with your claims.

You have to brush up your history and sociology. There was no Aryan intrusion either into Tamilnadu or into India. One of the current theories is OIT - out of India theory.
All scholars in the past have treated tamil and sanskrit as two eyes - the tamil tradition is the sum of best practices from both tamil and sanskrit.

Sanskrit was an efficient link language in the past; hindi is trying to take that place.

Surya Kanishka, India doesnt have a national language, only official languages.

The Official Lingua Franca of the Government is Hindi, means all the corespondences of the Central Government should have been in Hindi. So even in Tamil Nadu, theoritically speaking it should be in Hindi. But for sake of convienience the language of correspondence English is being used.
