Respected S.P. Sonepat VRS.Rakesh Verma

It is, I believe, no exaggeration to say that all the historical information which has been collected from all the books written in the Sanskrit language is less valuable than what may be found in the most paltry abridgements used at preparatory schools in England." So stated Thomas Babington Macualay, about the vernacular and the literary languages of India, in his Minute on Indian Education that he submitted to the parliament in 1835. Hence it is ironical that many Indian words, mainly from Sanskrit and Persian, were absorbed into the English language during the British colonial rule in India, known as the British Raj.
