glory of India lies in it's culture and Sanskrit language
Origin of Sanskrit
: Sanskrit is an ancient
and classical language of India in which ever first book of the world
Rigveda ऋग्वेद was compiled. The Vedas are dated by different scholars
from 6500 B.C. to 1500 B.C. Sanskrit
language must have evolved to its expressive capability prior to that.
Definition of Sanskrit : The word Sanskrit is formed from “sam + krit”
where (samसम् ) prefix means (samyak सम्यक् ) ‘entirely’ or
‘wholly’ or ‘perfectly,’ and krit कृत्-
means ‘done.’ Sanskrit was first introduced by Brahma to the Sages of
the celestial abodes and it is still the language of the celestial abode, so it
is also called the Dev Vani देववाणी or Deva Basha देवभाषा .
Since the start of human
civilization on the earth, people and the Sages both spoke pure Sanskrit
language. The historical records indicate that three public programs of the
recitation of the Bhagwatam and the discourses on Krishn leelas had happened in
Sanskrit language in 3072 BC, 2872 BC and 2842 BC in which Saints and the
devotees participated. Later on when the population increased, the prakrit form
of speech with partly mispronounced words (called apbhranshas) was developed in
the less educated society and became popular.

एवं सज्जन सविधे पूर्वं लोभार्द्रता विशुष्य ततः ।
विषयाभिग्रस्तानां अन्तस्था कामरोष सहिता या
ज्वलति च विवेकवह्नौ साऽपी ज्वलति प्रकृष्ट सुखमन्ते ॥
एवं सज्जन सविधे पूर्वं लोभार्द्रता विशुष्य ततः ।
विषयाभिग्रस्तानां अन्तस्था कामरोष सहिता या
ज्वलति च विवेकवह्नौ साऽपी ज्वलति प्रकृष्ट सुखमन्ते ॥

Even when the fuel is wet, it will dry as soon as
you put in fire and get burnt as it is meant to. Kinship with virtuous
people is also like that. Even when people are drenched(wet) with greed,
they will lose their lust and anger in the fire of knowledge. Along
with that they will lose their greed also and find happiness.
