Mysuru: If the state government goes ahead with plans of sanctioning land and funds to the Karnataka Samskrita Universityhe will move the high court seeking a stay, said Activist and retired professor BP Mahesh Chandra Guru here on Monday.
He said he will be forced to file a public interest litigation against the government.
He told reporters that Sanskrit is not the language of livelihood. “A few languages including Sanskrit are dying due to cultural and practical reasons. But the government is giving Rs 300 crore and fertile land to the university in Magadi in Ramanagara district. It is highly condemnable,” he said.
Only a few people in Karnataka use Sanskrit language. Instead of giving funds for the university, the government must use it for the development of government schools, hospitals and empowerment of women and children, he said.
“As per the 2011 census, only 4,631 people use Sanskrit as a communication language. How many people depend upon the language for livelihood, education, and life?” he said.
Former mayor and BSP leader Purushottam alleged that when the government schools and other universities are in a bad shape, the government is planning to spend a huge sum on Karnataka Samskrita University, adding it is anti-people.
Activist KS Shivaramu alleged that KSOU funds are also misused for the proposed building of Karnataka Samskrita University.
