	Sanskrit Knowledge-Systems Project-Participants
		In these two phases of history lie the core issues of this research project: the nature of the "knowledge systems" or scholarly disciplines in India on the eve of colonial rule, and the fact of their decline in the face of the new epistemological and social regime of European modernity.
		Sanskrit continued to be used exclusively in such major disciplines as language analysis (vyakarana), hermeneutics (mimamsa), logic-epistemology (nyaya), moral-legal-political discourse (dharmasastra).The emerging regional languages were largely restricted to religious poetry, sometimes theology, and practical arts such as medicine.
		As poorly understood as the internal and external history of the late-precolonial Sanskrit knowledge systems themselves are the reasons for their demise in the latter half of the eighteenth century.

		For example, in Sanskrit there were three kinds of "n": the first one is practically as ours, as "n" in "nature"; the second one is as "n" in "burning" (it is pronounced by rolling the tongue back slightly); and the last one is as "n" in "thing" (it is pronounced nasally).
		Sanskrit literature is unrivaled all over the world, however, despite efforts of many people, the people --especially in my country-- are not properly informed about the matter.
		On the contrary, in Sanskrit, this annoyance has been foreseen and it is overcome by adapting one of the two letters (the final or the initial one) or both of them at the same time, so that the tongue will not have to make any omission or transformation.

		Thus, according to the Vedic version Sanskrit is not the result of the prakrta languages; rather, they in opposite have developed from the original Sanskrit language, called devanagari.
		The present-day Sanskrit is nothing more than the successful attempt to conserve the original language and to prevent its further alienation.
		Consequently, Sanskrit produces a transcendental sound vibration which is able to liberate the living entity from the material existence called samsara, the circle of repeated births and deaths.
