Gateway to Language...Prof. Badaplin times...

- Antar - Raksha Shukla

One gasps from the weight of being.

Can't run, this leg gets tired.

Even this burden of thanks has gone for a century,

Jhilu ​​can be climbed with two hands.

Shocked by the burden of greatness,

Rowa Mathu is licked from the lips.

Man pelted the stone in a mob here,

The wound is filled and tired.

-Jyoti Bhatt

An astrologer saw the palm of an aspiring teenager playing at home and said with a disappointed look on his face: 'You have no knowledge in your hand, all the lines are good except that. You will get wealth and wealth but not learning because that line in your palm is very short and faint.'

The child heard this calmly and asked, 'Maharaj! Where is the line of education?

The astrologer showed the location of that line in his palm.

The teenager said, 'What will I do with wealth and wealth without education? If the line is short in my hand, I will make it long.' And immediately taking a paddle, he made a big incision in the palm and lengthened the line of learning.

'Hey crazy!' In this way, some luck can be created?? The astrologer said nervously.

The child said, 'Maharaj! What Vidhata did not do, I did with my own hands.

The child learned a lot by proving the ritual article wrong. The name of the child who did not become a fakir of Lakir was Panini! His unique gift to Sanskrit is Panini's edited grammar book 'Ashtadhyayi'. Panini's contribution is considered unparalleled. It has eight chapters and about four thousand sutras

Sanskrit language is the oldest language of the world. Such a proud place this language gets. Sanskrit language is divine language. The form of this Sanskrit devvani can be observed in many ways according to many perspectives. Sanskrit means well-cultivated.'Each language has its own special place.However, since Indian languages ​​are derived from Sanskrit, Sanskrit language can be called precious as the root language of Indian languages.

Sa Sarvashastrasamridha, Sa Vagamritvarshini.

Sa sevya sarvada shrestha bhasha sanskrit-sanskritta.

There is no alternative to mother, mother tongue and motherland! The field of study of linguistics is any language spoken in the world, be it the languages ​​of developed or civilized societies, or uncivilized or tribal societies. Whether a language is living or extant, a language is extinct or dead. A Gujarati linguist, Ranjitram Suvarnachandrak Purskrit Prabodh Pandit is considered one of the pioneers of Gujarati linguistics and sociolinguistic studies in India. Harivallabh Bhayani was also a famous linguist, researcher, critic, translator and editor. He has thoroughly explored issues such as authorship, literary form, language-tradition associated with Apabhramsh as well as typographical editing of old Gujarati texts. It shows the brilliance of his research talent. His grammar is also a noteworthy effort in the direction of preparing an own grammar of Gujarati language. Apart from teaching Yogendra Vyas, a well-known linguist and conscientious teacher of Gujarat, he was also associated with various linguistic and literary institutions. He was also a Government of India appointed consultant to the Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore. His major contribution was in the field of linguistics. His discoveries and researches in Gujarati language, grammar and linguistics are very useful for students and scholars. According to people, he was more of a linguist than a writer.

He was awarded the National Folk Language Award in 2003 by the Gandhi Hindustani Sahitya Sabha, New Delhi. Gandhi was not a writer himself. However, 'Gandhi Yuga' came into existence not only in Gujarati but also in the literature of other languages ​​of India. Because the power of Gandhiji's thought and conduct was very broad and deep. Hence he not only influenced the language of the then society from the root but also changed it. Which reflected on the literature of that time. The literature of the Gandhian era was the creation of simple yet effective literary works that could be understood by the general public (koshio- kosh hankanar) instead of the high class language level works of English, Urdu and Persian literate literates of Gujarati literature.

Prof. Badaplin has been exploring new dimensions of language even colloquially. Their existence was dissolved with language. It is difficult to separate them both. They try to find the language within the language. Adam Tankarvi says…

After crossing Barakhdi there is a destination,

Across the Bhashabawan is the abode of fakirs.

Prof. Badapali has cultivated the language like a fakir. We all are enjoying its success today. Salutations to this great master of language.
