Today’s Malayalam paper has an interesting story to tell. This year, the above institution celebrates its centenery.
It was established by P.T.Kuriakose, a local Samskrutha scholar, for popularising this language among non-brahmans. Normally, Christians are not interested in Samskrutham. So I wish to record my admiration for this unique personality.
In those days, study of Samskrutham was restricted to upper caste Hindus.
There were few schools exlusively for this ancient language of Aryans, though Samskrutham was an optional subject in most schools. The Samskrutham teacher, normally not aquanted with modern education, was an object of ridicule. No one studies it seriously.
In this context, the pioneering efforts of Kuriakose is commendable.
