Foreword
It is my firm conviction that one cannot claim to be a true Indian merely by having or acquiring the right of citizenship unless, along with that, he imbibes the spirit of Indianness - Bharitiyata in our own terminoloty- and develops the Indian outlook that considers the whole world as one family and craves for the welfare and happiness of mankind. This spirit which is an integral part of our cultural heritage has been bequeathed to us by the seers of yore and transmitted from generation to generation through the medium of Sanskrit language. Is it not then essential that every one in our county and all those who value this heritage should have some knowledge, I would even say a good knowledge, of Sanskrit? From this point of view the attempt that is being made by the compilers of the manual for the study of Sanskrit to provide an easy and interesting method of learning the language and getting acquainted with some of the gems of Sanskrit literature, could not have been more appropriate or more timely.
It is a good augury for the country and for the cause of Sanskrit that interest in the study of this language is definitely on the increase within and outside the country. The misconception that Sanskrit is a difficult language to tackle is getting dispelled, may be slowly, and with good results. To become acquainted with a language one should perforce open his mouth and speak it out. That is how the authors enter on their task. To speak correctly, then to write correctly and later to imbibe the knowledge contained in the literature it is necessary to have a good grounding in grammar with continuing accretions to the vocabulary. This has been attempted by the compilers with a good deal of discernment, step by step, and the student is always kept active without ever being overburdened.
