Why Sanskrit has strong links to European languages and what it learnt in India

[Kamikaze Pilot]

The theory is that the Sinhala are migrants from north India. In reality there may have been a few key families who brought the language across. Whatever the precise mechanism - Sinhala legend talks about a prince who went there from Bengal - after the Aryan languages of the Konkan in the west, and Odiya in the east, there are only Dravidian languages, Telugu and Kannada on the dividing line, Tulu, Tamil and Malayalam deeper down south. That is why it is disconcerting to find another Aryan language right next to Tamil (the northern part of Sri Lanka was, of course, Tamil, the home of the Jaffna Tamils).

250 million people don't agree with you.

But then you American residents don't know much about South Asia anyway.

कभी कभी करना पड़ता है, हिंदी बोलने वाले लोगों को खुश रखना पड़ता है, नहीं तो चिल्लाते रहते हैं, माहोल खराप करते रहते हैं.

I know.

But what is India's soft power in the world?

Bollywood.

And what would you say of that when Urdu is used for a vulgar Bollywood film, the consequence of that will be that it is associated with vulgarity?

Do you think that around the world people will then think of Urdu as a language used by kings or by people with no morals?

Hindus have slave mentality.

Muslim rulers have been able to thrust Urdu and their Bollywood on Hindu people like @Raj-Hindustani

British rulers have been able to thrust English and their Hollywood on Hindu people like @Joe Shearer .

No one cares about your archaic Sanskrit that has been killed by the great Islamic and British colonial rulers.

 

[Joe Shearer]

You are not making any sense.

Because if Urdu is a language that has grace, then it should not be used for Bollywood movies which are anything but graceful.

Do not feed trolls. Do not quote them; the Mods find it difficult to clean up if you quote them, because they have to delete your post too.

Er, yes, but Joe knew his Indian languages well before he knew English, and then he learnt English much better than the peasants who don't know much but their own distorted dialect of a graceful language like Urdu.

You talk so glibly of Bollywood; the way the people from these parts talk is like Mehmood in a bad cheesy mood. Urdu, he sez.

LoL

Is your Sanskrit as good as your English? How about 50% of your English? How about 20%?

Your ego will not allow you to concede but you are just good at something that has been forced on you by your erst while colonial masters.

 

[Joe Shearer]

LOL. How would you know the difference?

PS: Who taught you English? The Azerbaijanis? Or the Turks?

 

[HalfMoon]

LOL. How would you know the difference?

I do not intent to as I am happy with my Urdu but for you Hindus even if you want to you cannot. You have no option but to keep learning and communicating in languages that have been thrust upon you. What a pathetic situation you are in.

 

[Joe Shearer]

And that is why you are posting in English?

I've already asked you, how did you get your English? Learnt from the neighbours?

মূর্খদের কি শেখাবো?

Very meek excuse.

We Muslims can communicate in Urdu with Family and Friends while you Hindus still have to use Urdu or English that has been thrust upon you Hindus to communicate among you Hindus. What a miserable life you Hindus live.

Sure enough, started to post in US time.

But I don't use either Urdu or English to communicate with others. Who told you that? I've been talking to bagheera in his own language, [#31, #33, #36, #38] and I talk to my brothers in our language.
