since the book 'battle for sanskrit' by rajiv malhotra came out more hindus are now aware of efforts by various groups to denigrate sanskrit as an 'oppressive' language used to control the masses

this is funny because the British actually did that exactly with imposition of english education to create the obedient clerk class for their colony, and claimed it was in fact liberation

and then the germans claimed sanskrit was theirs and could not possibly be of indian local origin and nazi-fied the 'aryan' language

and of course no european scholar could countenance the possibility of hindu epics like the ramayana and mahabharata let alone the vedas could be older than the homeric epics of greek civilization and conveniently 'dated' all indian history to preserve their superiority

That's probably people pissed off that they have to learn their mother tongue, english, and hindi to get around in india.
