Battle for Sanskrit by Rajiv Malhotra is a provocative and timely exploration of one of India’s most debated classical languages. The book asks whether Sanskrit should be seen as political or sacred, oppressive or liberating, dead or alive, and examines the cultural, historical, and ideological forces shaping those arguments.
Written in a direct and thought-provoking style, this book will appeal to readers interested in Indian thought, civilizational identity, and the role of language in public discourse. It offers a challenging perspective that encourages reflection on tradition, interpretation, and the future of Sanskrit in modern India.
