New Delhi, Jul 20: BJP president Rajnath Singh has lashed out at widespread "Anglicisation" of today's young generation describing it as a dangerous trend.
Singh said Anglicisation has caused great loss to India's religion and culture.
Singh was speaking at a function in the capital on Thursday, where he said: "Anglicisation has caused a great loss to our country. We are losing our language, our culture as there are hardly any people who speak Sanskrit now."
The BJP chief said: " We have started forgetting our religion and culture these days. There are only 14,000 people left in this country who speak Sanskrit.
"Knowledge acquired out of learning English is not harmful, but Anglicization that has permeated among the youths is dangerous", said Singh.
