Sanskrit went to behind the screens, ever since 1750 CE, when regional languages started becoming popular, thanks to the way European printing presses, which made their way into India.

I think coercive methods should not be adopted to popularize any language.In a multi-lingual society like ours learning of any language of other states should be encouraged.
