Sitharaman Says AI Can Reveal Sanskrit Literature’s Beauty

Nirmala Sitharaman said AI can help more people enjoy Sanskrit literature.

She spoke at the launch of the Sanskrit Heritage Model in Chennai.

She said language tools should teach more than grammar rules.

They should also explain why poems and stories are beautiful.

AI could explain grammar features such as Sandhi and Samasa.

It could also find similes and study many old texts quickly.

Sitharaman compared the large amount of writing about Shakespeare with the smaller amount of accessible analysis about Kalidasa.

She wants technology to help find old manuscripts and inscriptions around the world.

This could help researchers understand how Indian languages spread and preserve India’s literary heritage.
