Saffronizing education is neither a goal
worth striving for nor is it feasible in
today's realities.Verification of any claim is just one
click away!! Similarly laying importance
on Sanskrit is not saffronization. Its
literature and large body of texts continues to captivate the imagination
of the cerebral world by being an ocean
of knowledge encompassing all branches of
it,accommodating all strands and shades of
views and philosophies.However it has lost
its spoken status as a language for ever.

Sanskrit is a language like other languages. First, how many students are interested in reading languages. Maths, English, is much more important for students.

True. In the present scenario of Globalization, importance of subjects related to Maths, Physics and other related subjects gained importance. The aim is to achieve a livelihood with a purpose and meaning,

Actually in every field there has been a lot of contributions from various famous Indians and our children know very little of them. Jagadish Chandra Bose, Hargobind Khorana,Homi Bhaba, EK Janaki Ammal and Aryabhata are vague names for our students until they take up a subject where these names are more than important.I feel including these names in school level would give a sense of pride amongst our children, the pride of being Indian! Likewise I don't see harm in including the verses from The Geeta.It teaches us a lot and very much relevant even today.Of course that does not mean exclusion of the other languages or work of Great Scientists from world around. To include something, certain things have to be eliminated based on their importance in a particular state.
Bhagavad Geeta, contrary to the belief of many is not a religious text, Its preachings are relevant even today
Geeta emphasizes to perform our obligatory duties.One is expected to be responsible to his family first. It also professes to earn knowledge that is the Path of Knowledge. In my view, every aspect of Geeta is relevant and useful to the society.
In fact many state governments included Bhagavad Geeta in their respective curricula, including Business schools.

Change is part and parcel of life and we have to welcome it rather than get stuck in a rut ! New ideas and new thoughts need to be introduced into education system which can be eliminated if found not effective or useful..
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
As the times change everything around changes. Nothing remains forever. Change is the only thing that stays forever. This truth must be borne in mind and adjust to the frequently changing situations. Else we stay behind and remain there forever.

If we read Geeta carefully we know that it is mother of principal of all religions. All religion believe in one God and in Geeta Lord Krishna said that noting is in this universe one I am. I am never take birth, I never died.

Sanskrit is not like other languages. This is extinct and used only for ceremonial, decorative or religious rituals.

Sanskrit cannot be dismissed simply as a dead language. It did not lose its relevance even today. It is listed as one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. It is the official language of Uttarakhand. The Sahitya Academy if India has given an Award for the best creative work in sanskrit every year since 1967.
