c6.s8.16

∗ That formerly the language of Bengal was the furthest removed amongst Indian languages from the standards of Sanskrit will be proved inspite of its present very highly Sanskritised form, by the fact that even now ণ, ষ & স are not rightly pronounced by us, and for this defect the Sanskrit schools of Benares, Bombay and other important centres of Sanskrit learning, treat us with contempt.
