Problem: Post-independance, there is a steep fall in the quality of saṁskṛta-studies in schools and colleges. Indians are unaware of the fact that they are made to read saṁskṛta in a method which may suit the English language, but is most unsuitable for saṁskṛta. Only the traditional way will help. Translations and writing new textbooks everyday will not help.

Method: Contemporary examples are shown to support the concerned arguement.

Conclusion: Saṁskṛta scholars should interfere in the pedagogy of saṁskṛta-studies in a united manner and bring about changes in the school and college syllabi as soon as possible.
