Often we have seen articles and essays about ancient rishis and their contributions to Science, technology, etc. Research Scientists and Knowledge workers have come out with principles embedded in the Paninian grammar that are being used to solve day to day problems of impersonation, security, etc.
An overview of these knowledge systems suggest that there is lot to be unearthed and we understand that Sanskrit as a language stand at the core of these areas.
There are two scenarios that can exist here. We could have “IT Serving the need for Sanskrit & Lingusitics” and we can have “Sanskrit Serving the needs of Information Technology ”. Both these areas are important and needs to be nurtured and grown to its full potential.
IT Serving the need for Sanskrit and Lingusitics
E-learning, Academic tools, Tools for linguistic experts and learners ( search engine, sort facility, text to speech, speech to text, Optical Character Recognition , etc ) can take the experience of the users to the next level and definitely IT is a great enabler.
The current trend in India has been that most of the research institutions and universities have taken up the cause of addressing these, however there is a greater need for private organizations to work in these areas and give an impetus to these with the help of improved technology, faster delivery and processes.
Sanskrit Serving the needs of Information Technology
To work in this area demands a high level of multi disciplinary research, involvement of multi dimensioned and multi skilled people. The principles that are found in the ancient texts, shaastras need to be extracted and relevance to Information Technology & businesses be discovered. Some of the areas that could be focused include knowledge compression techniques, information security, impersonation, brain mapping etc. As we go deep into these we may be surprised probably, we could even invent systems, write programmes, implement & have an ecosystem that has tools and systems embedded with principles from our ancient texts that could replace our current way of working and make our life better.
