Rajeswari, addressing a graduation convocation of students at Sampurnanand Sanskrit University, suggested that Sanskrit learning would lead the students back to the age of bullock carts. &#8220;Sanskrit is no longer the language of God,&#8221; he said, adding that the knowledge of English and science was essential in today&#8217;s world. He went on to say he would take a lead for an amendment in state universities&#8217; regulation for compulsory education of English. He exhorted Sanskrit students to come out of the age-old confines of the language and look forward to learning modern things for development. The assembled students of Sanskrit, in a near riot, caused the governor to cut short his address and leave under police protection.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>timesofindia.indiatimes.com VARANASI, INDIA, February 11, 2007: Governor T.V.
