I'm desperate to visit Mattur. I want to do another mattur in Odisha. Previous ly bramhins used rampant Sanskrit and shlokas. I want to revive that tradition

[Mr]

It would like to stay Mattur for a while and learn Sanskrit there, if it is possible, please let me know

[parthasarathimukherjee]

another two thousand crore years survive mattur, I am Brahmin

[okay]

*Yups ! I am myself from Mattur, Karnataka, South India. There are a group of Brahmin people who have occupied our village Maatur. The village name is a chaste Tamil word. Earlier in this place various local tribes of Paraiahs were living. These new comers, the so called present kannada Brahmins are living here. Their mother tongue is actually kannada but it's just that they are studying & trying to communicate in clinically/biologically dead Sanskrit and as well trying to fool the world that Sanskrit is being still spoken in India. Please don't be fooled by these fake news/videos on TV/YouTube. I can make a video on YouTube that Bengali is being spoken in California and claim that Americans speak Bengali which is utter absurdity. Sanskrit was never spoken here in the distant past. These are kannada Brahmins learning and obviously trying to communicate in Sanskrit but it's not an Indigenous language of Mattur of Karnataka. Truth should be presented to the world as it is. So it is not spoken in Mattur since ancient days but these people are trying to revive it since last decade. Peace....*
