Dealing in garbage is what you do which is why I would have liked nothing better than to keep you an outcaste.
Sadly I am dragged into debating with you giving the false notion that you are somehow my equal and that is most unfortunate.
First you claim that sanskrit was an "Artificial" language and now you have back tracked and is agreeing with me by saying it was an "Free flowing evolving language"
SO which IS it ?
An artificial construct or an free flowing evolving language ? It can't be both. THIS is the rubbish that HUBRIS puts out. Self contradictory narrative without an iota of shame.
Don't be childish.
I am referring to two different things: Indo-Aryan, in which natural language the Vedas were written, and which was a free-flowing evolving language, and which was NOT Sanskrit; Sanskrit, an artificial construct, that from Panini onwards, continued in its bound version. I never backtracked; but I have never bothered to point out that you keep trying to score points by pretending that both variants should be known as Sanskrit, and that you have tried to take the dichotomy in my dealing with the two distinct cases and claim confusion on my part.
As long as you want to try to be so shallow in your responses, we will remain at your classic sneery, pouty, attitude striking stupid self, and be forced to listen, from time to time, about what a great hero you are, repeatedly breaking through the PDF defences to come and post here.
There has been no change n the verbs, only a change in the bhava i.e. 'mood' of the language.
LOL at your Fantastic claims of "punjab", "600 BC" and "Tribes" all picked from the "Aryan invasion theory" and you go about propagating these lies as if they are the truth.
What I have said hangs together, is consistent and is mainstream. Feel free to jump up and down on the sidelines.
Star mapping with the Planetarium software has already proved the Rigvedic prayers offered to Aswinis at dawn could have happened only in 9 December, 7000 BC at 0735 hrs.
Back to Tilak, bless him. You keep running back into your familiar grooves.
Genetic mapping has conclusively proved that the migration happened 70,000 years back. It has also show it happened from Gujarat and not punjab.
That even a dolt knows was the original out-of-Africa migration. And the landfall was probably Gujarat; the locus of that migration was along the coastlines, so Punjab would find it difficult to push itself as a tourist destination for those small bands expanding from one spot to the next across generations.
Only a fool like you would go around sprouting the british revisionist dates and geographies as if they mean something. They don't. Its ALL absolute rubbish. Garbage. The kind you deal in.
Getting hysterical a bit? Calm down.
The drift WAS in the Vedas you moron
It was observed in the Atharva Veda when compared with the RgVeda.
Have you actually gone through the examples used by Panini? I am seriously worried that you are getting increasingly cranky and incoherent. He clearly mentions what, and from whom, deviations were detected. And the distinctions were not just between the Rg Veda and the Atharva Veda, they were detected even within the Rg Veda itself, between earlier hymn cycles and later.
The formation of rules did not stop evolution, it just ensured that any serious litrature written in Sanskrit did not get corrupted over time.
And Kalidasa (just one example of hundreds) did managed to write a whole lot of literature in Sanskrit hundreds of years later and they still exist without any corruption. Proof that NO development was changed. So WRONG again.
Being able to write beautifully in a tightly constrained language does not prove that it was not a tightly constrained language; it just proves that Kalidasa was a genius. The lack of corruption had nothing to do with the rules brought in, it had to do with the presence of genuine, authentic copies. You seem to forget that Kalidasa WROTE his works; unlike the Vedas, these were not memorised and were not subject to drift due to memory lapses.
I find your increasing hysteria disturbing and worrying. If this causes you such disturbance, we ought to stop right here.
Role of Panini is hypothetical, but he did not formulate the consonants or the vowels. They have existed for Thousands of years. His name is revered because he wrote the Authoritative book on sanskrit grammar called the "Ashtadyayi" that survive today.
Panini himself refers to previous texts and authors such as the Unadisutra, Dhatupatha, and Ganapatha in his Ashtadyayi.
So as usual, you are WRONG again.
When somebody thinks that grammar consists of defining the vowels and the consonants, I am glad to be wrong.
Yes, it was Natural. Its natural for form rules and structure. To form laws and rights, and responsibilities.
There is nothing "unnatural" about any of that.
Its HUMAN Nature.
So Rather than talks about things you know preciously little about, you should have kept your mouth shut. (too old to be educated)
Umm, yes, forming a tight set of rules, taking existing works and discarding parts of them, is natural; presumably then the original works were 'artificial'? Can't you see what traps your own defective logic is leading you into?
Wren and Martin was written for BRITISH children residing in India.
It an example to that shows how book on grammar restructures the language. Nothing more, nothing less.
The pressure is telling on you. British, or BRITISH, children are English-speaking children; or did you mean the school students of La Martiniere Lucknow?
Panini grammar is DERIVED from the Vedas, not outside it. He says so himself.
As did everybody else who wished to claim authenticity. Certainly it is derived from the Vedas; what was older, what was more sacred? Who would reject the Vedas in systematising the language of the Vedas?
But the question is, after the systematising, was the rule-bound language the same as the original? Were all the forms to be found in the Vedas canonical forms according to the grammar of Panini?
Just a few posts back you were telling us how Prakrit is a language and now you have back tracked and is now admitting that its not really a language
And you are NOW right, Prakrit is NOT a language. Its merely a classification of languages that have evolved/devolved from sanskrit. The languages that have sanskrit words and grammar, but spoken and written by the uneducated and the barely literate.
Why is there a note of desperation in your posts? In spite of the almost forced use of smilies, this is not the language of a sane or a rational person.
Coming back to the argument, please be clear that when a language evolves, it goes through stages, first, of dialect formation, then, of sufficient differentiation and maturity for its differences to be consistent right through, then, of replacing the older variant - VARIANT - almost entirely.
When you say that Prakrit has descended from Sanskrit, you display the same obduracy as in your earlier stand that Sanskrit and Indo-Aryan are the same, and the same denial of the artificial boundaries put on the language by the insistence that the language that was 'certified' by Panini and the language that the Vedas used were one and the same. We will come to your further arguments in their place.
Irrespective of the spoken language, when Serious texts were written, it was written by educated men who were educated in the correct use of grammar as taught by Panini. E.g. Kalidasa, Bhasa, Mallinatha suri, Amaru etc.
Spoken language were not required to follow strict rules. Which is why we have urban english, twitter english etc. and various other dialects of english from scotts to australian to american.
Poor fellow. There goes your argument. It was not the difference between spoken and written language that led to the evolution of English. Please take a cursory look at that language's evolution. At no stage was any grammar written, nor at any stage were the monks and clerics who were the repositories of writing and reading skills constrained to use a standard grammar; as a direct result, English - and French, and German, and Italian - all went through changes.
Sanskrit did not.
Do you see the fallacy of your standpoint? And do you see why the linguists trace the descent of modern-day Indo-Aryan languages from Prakrit, and that from Indo-Aryan, while completely detaching this development from the influence of the 'dead' language, Sanskrit?
There is nothing to "Assume", its now PROVEN by accurate Star mapping.
A full moon in the Chitra Nakshatra that provided a new time marker in the sky and heralded the lunar month naming system-Chaitra, Vaisakha as mentioned in the Rg Veda and Taittiriya Samhita could have only happened in 19th December, 6000 BC.
These weird proofs of the ancient origins of Indo-Aryan, and of the ancient origins of Indian civilisation have been discussed and discarded long ago. IF anyone wishes to revive those proofs, they will only excite amusement and pity.
LOL at your pathetic rendering of British colonialist version of Hinduism.
I readily concede the palm of victory to your superior rendering of the British colonial version of Hinduism.
My point was and is remains that the gupta's of bengal has very little to do with the GUpta's of North India who derives their name from the gupta empire.
It is difficult to understand how the banias and traders derived their names from the empire. What connection is being drawn? As usual in a shrill, high-pitched, querulous voice.
I have an excellent view of Indian history, sociology and religion thanks to the original Sanskrit texts preserved in India by Serious Hindus.
There is nothing but semi-mythical, phantasmagoric; it is a byword that in India, we failed to retain any historical records of our existence. That is why vast tracts of Indian history are known to us only through epigraphs; there is literally nothing in terms of the narration of the course of events, of the sort that the Chinese have maintained without working themselves into a sweat as you have done.
No thanks to the british, who's only contribution was lies and Misinformation. And their efforts in producing children of Macualy like you.
The British did not only contribute lies and misinformation; that was certainly present, but it also brought to the attention of their Indian subjects to a wide variety of material that was absent from day to day consideration. Try and imagination a discussion of this sort, for instance, taking place in a traditional, pre-British environment. Try to remind yourself that we had totally lost memories of the Indus Valley Civilisation, for instance. That might be excused by pointing to a discontinuity of civilisation, of a discrete gap between the IVC and the subsequent records of civilisation following the second evolution of civic forms of society. But then, why did we have to have them re-discover Asoka, find out the details of the invaders of the north-west, of whom the only transient records are of Kalidasa's romances, find out the details of the many different kingdoms and cultural centres in the south, find out the original birth-place of the Buddha, find out about the rise and fall of Buddhism in India, a cycle not even known to us, except in fabulous stories about the triumphal circumnavigation of India by Sankaracharya, and his half-understood half-recognised opposition. We could go on all night listing what we did not know about our own culture and history and was restored to us, even if in a damaged or distorted form, when we learnt from the British.
I don't give a shit about Savarkar's ideology, I only give a damn about his courage and his dedication to the case of freeing India. His determination to work towards a free India.
You are saying this in awareness of his cowardice, his plea for mercy after proceeding to the penal colony for incarceration, his complete avoidance of public contact after his pardon? What dedication did this pusillanimity display? There are many who sacrificed far more, and remain obscure. What determination did he display to work towards a free India?
My reading of Dickens and Shakespeare sits comfortably with my reading of the liad, Odyssey, and Posthomerica, My reading of Kalidasa and Arthashashtra and my reading of chinese book of Rites or the Art of war or my reading of the adventures of the Italian Marco polo or the Moroccan Ibn Battuta.
NOTHING to do with the british. Everything to do with my Hindu background that teaches me to respect knowledge and seek it wherever I find it.
Will you name a single foreign work known to indigenous Indian society independent of the introductions of the British and their education system?
Sure, is this serious enough ?

Kerela: Two students expelled for hugging; school terms it indecent, scandalous
I've been all over India. I'm not saying Kerala is a paradise by any measure but it's probably one of the better off ones out there and certainly not the crime ridden den you make it out to be.. Hell, forget Indians, I've seen Pakistani members say that Kerala is probably better off than other states.
But forget all that cr*p, I don't understand why you were on the defensive right from the beginning. Someone talks about Bihar and you immediately switch to Kerala. Why bring up Kerala when that was not the topic being discussed? When I confront you about it, you say Kerala is better than Bihar but not better than Gujarat. Where the hell did Gujarat come from?
No offense, but you're starting to display some of the blatantly sanghi characteristics.
And since you claimed to be from Kerala, അരയൂറീയലിയമലൂ Just though you should retort to that in your native language.
Are you a new member? Congratulations on having met the resident re-tread. This is a Malayali man who lives in Mumbai, and is two steps further right than the Shiv Sena. He is quite an old member of PDF, but is not wanted on this forum, so the Moderators keep throwing him out every time that he is found. This is what he really wants, of course; quite clearly to be seen as a Lone Wolf fighting a lone battle against Pakistan.
And he is a rabid thug.
