LANGUAGE OF IMMORTALS : Concise History of Sanskrit

By Devy, G N . New Delhi Aleph Book Company 2025 , Sanskrit has long been celebrated as one of the building blocks of Indian civilization, and is venerated in temples, scriptures, and classical literature. In Language of the Immortals, renowned scholar and critic G. N. Devy uncovers the astounding paradox of Sanskrit—an ancient language that shaped Indian thought, philosophy, and identity for millennia, yet was never truly a language of the people. With rigorous scholarship, Devy dismantles enduring myths and offers a revealing commentary on Sanskrit’s historical and cultural trajectory. He shows how it achieved unsurpassed prestige not through conquest or commerce, but sheer intellectual brilliance. He explores the way in which Sanskrit shaped intellectual life across centuries, influenced cultures beyond India, and maintained its prestige through the oral tradition and spiritual symbolism rather than the patronage of the state. This concise yet profound work reimagines what it means for a language to live on—long after it has ceased to be spoken. 9789365235432

LITERARY CRITICISM IN INDIA : Texts, Trends and Trajectories

By Nil. New Delhi Sahitya Akademi 2014 , Literary Criticism In India, Texts, Trends and Trajectories: Literary criticism in Indian languages has a history that goes back to the second half of the nineteenth century. As modernity manifested itself in new forms of knowledge and institutions in colonial India, the literary field reinvented itself through new prose-centric forms. Society had to evolve new criteria of evaluation and judgment to make sense of the complex relations between tradition and modernity as well as literature and the public sphere. The present volume makes available to the reader a cross-section of critical perspectives on a range of issues such as: the nature of the quest that informs the discourse of literary criticism in India in various modern Indian languages, the continuing relevance of the legacy of Sanskrit and Tamil aesthetics in modern day critical practices, the enabling role of theory in shaping new directions in Indian literary criticism and the contestations and conflicts that have shaped the content of specific traditions of literary criticism in Indian languages. The eighteen essays by eminent critics from the major Indian languages collected here testify to the inherent rigour and polyphony of critical discourses in Indian languages as they negotiate the social dynamics of progressive democratization and pluralization of literary points of view. 9788195021758

INDIANIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC TERMS : Writings and Notes of Late Prof. Raghu Vira

By Nil. New Delhi Aditya Prakashan 2020 , Modern science has created around a million words in European languages. As India gained independence it became imperative to create terms for adminis tration, industry, humanistic and scientific disciplines. It was a continuation of a long tradition of linguistic creativity. This book is a collection of the writeups of Prof. Raghu Vira who was the prime 'maker of Indian words. The source languages of European terminologies Greek and Latin shared the same grammatical basis of word-formation from roots with prefixes and suffixes like Sanskrit the historical source language of India. Linguistic nihilism of India's leadership had to be convinced that new words have to be coined continuously as research discovers new facts and concepts. Language as a process of evolution, creation of Japanese and Chinese terminologies, the linguistic reform in Turkish, rejuvenation of Hebrew, the development of Hindi as the official language, principles of coining Indian terms, the art of translation, improvement in Indian terms due to scientific advances, and several facets of the linguistic revolution in newly liberated countries can be read in this book in the very words of Prof. Raghuvira the creator of India's macrocosm of linguistic evolution. Recently the Oxford University Press has named Samvidhaan as the "Oxford Hindi word of 2019". It was created by Prof. Raghuvira in 1946, thrilled the President of the Constituent Assembly of India in 1947 and it became the word for Constitution, sharing its prefix sam with the cognate Lain con in Constitution. The book is a thrilling narrative of India's logos, with parallels from other lands. 9788194538707
