Set of Shlokas with English translation on Appointment of a non-Hindu in Sanskrit Dharma Vigyana Sankaya, BHU

I had written prose describing the mental state of students and people who have a strong emotional and traditional attachment to Dharm Vigyan Sankaya of BHU.

Russian and Sanskrit Grammar : Proximity and Differences - Part 1

Russian and Sanskrit Grammar: Proximity and Differences Recently, I completed my Diploma in the Russian Language, from the great Benares Hindu University. I am also a scholar of Sanskrit.
