[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Atrocities in Shankaracharya Sanskrit University.

[Girish S V]

system.*

Look at the list of PG courses at the "Sanskrit University" - Urdu, Arabic,
Hindi, Master of Social Work, Master of Physical Education and Sports -
among other subjects.

What a testament to how successive governments in Kerala have corrupted the
university.
