I have read the this article and it seems that new India government tries to reject western influence and tries to make the society more 'Indian'.
A society that seeks its identity will try to clean the language first.
In 1859 Romania, gave up Cyrillic alphabet and started to clean the language from non-latin words. In same time Greece tried to reverse history and return to ancient Greek language. In 1921 Turkey was cleaning the Turkish language from foreign elements but adopted the Latin alphabet.
Also Unites States became more Anglo-Saxon, after the education became standardised and English was mandatory, a beginning of the XX century.
In Romania, the trend to make the language more national stopped when it tried to replace foreign technical words with Romanian words.
For example we didn't have the word for screw, so we imported the German word Schraube and we transformed in to surub.
The purpose of making romanian language more uniform and more latin, was to strengthen the new formed state, that didn't had enough military power to impose it's will.
This was eased because the dialects were very similar, the population was small and concentrated in a small area, compared with India.
This is not the case in India, it has a huge population, spread over a large surface, with many languages.
Under what language you can unite this population?
If you try to impose a dialect from a region, then the nationalism from other will rise. This is the reason why in EU you have so many official languages, despite the fact that everyone uses English.
If you encourage every region to use its own language without having an official language like English, India will be separated into regions and it cease to exist.
People will follow the path of least resistance and learn only one language and discuss only with the people from the region who uses that language.
But the dumbest idea is to translate foreign scientific words into sanskrit.
How you translate transistor in sanskrit? This device didn't existed 60 years ago?
Romania gave up translating scientific words into romanian, and adopted foreign word when it didn't had one, so the romanian society cached up with Western science and in 1911 a romanian Henri Coanda presented at Paris first jet engine. In '30 Eugen Ionescu and Emil Cioran published in french their works. And Mircea Eliade wrote later his treaty of history of religion.
If these people would be deprived from knowing from the school a foreign language, then their country would be deprived from some world class scientist or world class writers, they will deprived from personal development and the world would be deprived from some valuable persons.
The reason why India has a big influence in international science and especially in IT, it is because many educated people know English, and they learned science using English scientific term, this connected to the world, and allowed a cultural exchanged who enriched India.
I don't understand why this have to be changed. And if it is changed where it is the gain?
According to the Bible, when people tried to build a tower to reach the sky, God stopped them by giving them different languages.
India it is like a Babel tower, if it doesn't find a common language it will crumble.
