Reviews
Sanskrit words
I lloked at the list of professions and found them very difficult to remember as they are not simple but complex words .
What we need a simple system like Latin to create words for science, Engineering and other areas. Sanskrit scholars need to make them simple to popularize them. For train driver " Lohgamini Chalakah" is is neither karn-priya, nor easy to pronounce.
Let us make words useful and easy, to make Sanskrit popular.
Sanskrit word for "Professionals".
I want to know the Sanskrit word "Professionals".
Professionals from all types of trade called collectively.
Sincerely,
Sumesh Sivasankar
