  ॐ श्री गुरुभ्यो नमः ॐ श्री शिवानन्दाय नमः An Article From The Hindu Businessline The ancient Indian grammarian Panini’s treatise ‘Astadhyayi’ hold several clues that modern computer scientists can exploit to enrich language processing. In the 6th century B.C. Panini formalised the phonetics of Sanskrit through his scientific grammar. “Huge amount of ideas are buried in the Astadhyayi. They can be used for formal language processing in computer science,” says Prof. Furio Honsell of Italy: A Professor of Computer Sciences. An ardent admirer of Panini, Prof. Honsell, said modern day ‘Compilers’, come closest to the tools that the great Indian grammarian used to give form and content to language, especially Sanskrit. Compilers are special programmes that help process statements written in a particular programming language and turn them into machine language or “code” that a computer’s processor understands. Prof. Honsell, who is researching into the history of computers, said, “I

This forces  them to shift to other sources of earning, which totally fossilizes the traditional art forms,having immense aest
