When it comes to keeping the ancient style of Indian literature, the first literature that comes to mind is Sanskrit literature. Vedas, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Mahakavya, Charaka Samhita, Ayurveda scripture, etc. are written in the Sanskrit language. Although almost all modern subjects in Sanskrit literature are thrown into it. Chaturvarnas and Chaturashramas rules are also found in Sanskrit literate. From a linguistic point of view, almost all modern languages are derived from Sanskrit in one way or another. There is some discussion about the extent of Sanskrit literature in the modern world. Apart from Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas, etc. which are sources of traditional Sanskrit literary works, serval pieces of literature centered on pre–independence or any biographical subject and genre have also been written in the modern age.

Some modern Sanskrit literature

“Svātantrasambhaba” written by Reba Prasad Deevedi, focuses on the story of Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi in the context of independence.

Bhīmāẏana: This creation is based on the biography of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and shows how Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is making Dalits freedom fighters from the lower strata of society realize their freedom by leaving the English slavery.

Bārtāgha: This drama is based on Rabindranath Tagore’s Dakghar Drama.

Various contemporary issues of modern times have also found a place in modern Sanskrit literature. It can be discussed over time.

If you look at the modern Sanskrit style, it can be seen that the touch of modernity is seen in the Sanskrit works by changing the expectation that modern Sanskrit literature will create Sanskrit literature with the characteristics of the post-modern era.
