EXCELLENT ARTICLE FOR ALL INDIANS THE GRAMMAR OF A DHARMIC NARRATIVE - BY SANDEEP BALAKRISHNA In the realm of a nation and civilization, its language is its unique culture and civilization. And the various aspects of its culture and civilization such as its traditions, history, and its special contributions to the world constitute its national, civilizational and cultural grammar. Just like language evolved first and then its rules codified much later as grammar, a nation’s narrative constitutes various aspects of its culture, which later get codified as tradition, usage, convention, and custom. And these aspects, like grammatical rules, change slowly over time but the core and the essence remain the same. A representative quote by AnandaK Commaraswamy will suffice. In his time, it was prophetic and has turned out to be a horrifying reality in our time: A single generation of English education suffices to break the threads of tradition and to create a nondescript and superficial being deprived of all roots; a sort of intellectual pariah who does not belong to the East or the West, the past or the future…Of all Indian problems the educational is the most difficult and most tragic.
