Sanskrit is a standardised dialect of Old Indo-Aryan, having originated in the second millennium BCE as Vedic Sanskrit and tracing its linguistic ancestry back to Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-European. As the oldest Indo-European language for which substantial written documentation exists, Sanskrit holds a prominent position in Indo-European studies.
The body of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well as scientific, technical, philosophical and religious texts. The compositions of Sanskrit were orally transmitted for much of its early history by methods of memorization of exceptional complexity, rigour, and fidelity. Thereafter, variants and derivatives of the Brahmi script came to be used.
The study of Sanskrit Language and literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well as scientific,technical and philosophical texts. Knowledge of Sanskrit is a marker of educational attainment of modern India.
The relevance and importance of Sanskrit is not just restricted to culture and academics. Introduction of concepts such as yoga, Vedas, vaastu shastra, astrology, ayurveda and drama shows that it is not just about learning the language or literature but also about tracing and studying the connection between various areas and Sanskrit.
