I kinda get the feeling you’re just saying this to be different. I’m saying “relative” as in the dictionary definition “considered in relation or in proportion to something else.” As to say, it’s different to different people. Something that might be respectful to one person might be common courtesy for another. Everyone has their own way of gauging respect, but it certainly exists.

What you learned in school is "based" on sanskrit. It is derived from it like English is derived from Celtic. It is not the same. There is no languge that has lasted thousands of years without change and the changes are significant enough that you would not understand it.
Yes, Hindi is "based" on Sanskrit which is widely spoken now. But classical Sanskrit is still taught in some schools alongside Hindi.
And there is no modern or medieval Sanskrit like it is with English. Sanskrit was just used by scholars, and it really wasn't even popular with the public even thousands of years ago. So it hasn't undergone the changes as other languages have.
The vocabulary or the rules of grammar have largely remained unchanged.

Sanskrit was very influential to several languages in Europe, including Farsi. It is also believe that the language came from Tamil. Sanskrit, which is 4,000 years old (some say its 6,000 years of age), used to be the language of the classics in India. Sanskrit is still an official language in the Indian Peninsula despite its limited use as an everyday language today. Rigveda, which is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, is where the first and earliest examples of the language can be found.
You must have copied this from the interweb so you can be excused, but only a Tamil fanatic would say that Sanskrit has been derived from Tamil. Both are wildly different languages. They only share about a word or two, having existed alongside for so many centuries now.
Reading your above posts (@History-Repeats) I think you've pretty much made up your mind on the topic, and you keep refuting facts for the sake of prolonging the convo. Correcting your statements will take quite a while as characterized by the Brandolini's law (redirects to Wiki) .So I'll leave you to it. 
Brandolini's law, also known as the BS asymmetry principle states that "The amount of energy needed to refute Bs is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it."

I can as easily apply this to you. I am neither from India nor do speak or understand sanskrit so I claim no expertise. I have however studied the history of linguistics as part of my profession so I'm not totally ignorant. Languages are not so different. Sanskrit is no different from any as far as how they developed and what influenced changes.

A common pet-peeve when someone thinks they can tell you about your own culture, when their information is taken from a 2 minute google search rather than lived experience.

You have chosen an appropriate name as well as profile comments. As usual you have nothing to add but one line insults where ever you go. I have yet to see you post anything more meaningful than your posts here.
Get a hobby. Read a book.
I'd post from my book of trivia all day, taking topics well off track, while claiming to be a scholar and war veteran.
But that's your gimmick.
Btw, did you know that volleyball was invented in Massachusetts?
That there are earthquakes on the moon?
That strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the inside?
etc
But History-Repeats you are also trying to sound intellectual , so with respect I think you should put your own house in order, before you try doing the same to others !

*says obviously offensive thing*
”no offense”
you have your opinion, I have mine. Also, saying 75 y/o people aren’t fun is very clearly offensive. Expecting a “no offense” in the next 5 minutes or else ima get offended on history’s behalf.

I get along better with young people. They still use their heads for thinking. Thats why I left clubs and come here instead. But every once in a while a semi-adult troll shows up and pretends to be better than the kids who troll. They aren't. In fact they're worse. Kids are allowed to be crazy and careless. Adults are suppoed to know better and be an example to follow. Sad so many are just older kids who never grow up. Insulting people they don't know from their hidden little world is fun for them. Truly sad.
Golly gosh, doesn't he go on.

BTW Strawberry seeds are on the outside.
An indication of how much attention i'm paying [hint: not much].

You're so rude, Problem5826... Pretty much every other poster on here has been working hard to derail the forum, yet you specifically chose to pick on History. Seems personal, eh?
By the way, History is indeed an ex teacher and a war veteran. A little more than you are, methinks?
Well, then, you just contradicted yourself. Respect does exist, it’s just relative. In the same way that any other emotion is relative to different people.
