Historical references
Sanskriti as a term for Indian culture and tradition has its roots in ancient India. The term is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘sanskriti’ which means ‘culture’ or ‘civilization’. It was first used by the ancient Indian philosopher Panini in his grammar work ‘Ashtadhyayi’ around 5th century BCE to denote the refined, civilized way of life of the Aryans. Later, it was adopted by Indian scholars, political leaders and intellectuals to refer to the unique artistic, philosophical, spiritual and social achievements of India.
5th century BCE
During the medieval period, Sanskriti came to be associated with the classical Indian texts, art, literature and philosophy. The Mughal emperors, who ruled India from the late 16th to the mid-19th centuries, patronized Sanskriti and supported its preservation and propagation. The Mughals built magnificent temples and employed Hindu scholars to translate Sanskrit texts into Persian and Urdu, thereby spreading the knowledge of Indian culture and traditions to a wider audience.
