Sanscrito contro tamil: la guerra linguistica (1856–2025) | Harry Sahota

This documentary explores the 169‑year linguistic war between Sanskrit and Tamil, examining how colonial manipulation and modern politics turned these ancient languages into weapons of division. It covers the Dravidian‑Aryan debate, Sanskrit inscriptions in South Indian temples, anti‑Sanskrit movements of the early 1900s, colonial propaganda that framed a North‑vs‑South narrative, the Kamban Ramayanam, the Chola Empire, and the historical harmony between Tamil and Veda. The film questions whether the commonly taught Indian history is accurate and reveals the true reasons behind the enmity between Sanskrit and Tamil and who has benefited from it.
