The first-ever Malayalam translation of the Sangam masterpiece Purananuru, translated by Midhun KS, was officially released by Hon'ble Minister @dpradhanbjp ob Jan 6 2026. A monumental bridge between two rich linguistic traditions! ๐ฎ๐ณ #Purananuru#TamilLiterature#MidhunKS#CICT
@IndianGems_ Sanskrit was never a commonly spoken language among the masses; it primarily functioned as a literary and scholarly language. The spoken forms that preceded or existed alongside Sanskrit in everyday use were the Prakrits and Apabhramshas. @IndianGems_
Regardless of what the facts and findings are or will be, there is no reason or excuse for this 125 year old dam to exist as a functioning structure! Itโs about time we put politics and economics aside and do what is right. ๐
