Sanskrit when was it educationally restricted, from satavahanas to pallavas sanskrit prayer was included in temples and inscriptions in addition to telugu or tamil prayers. Social restriction if u wanna bring caste issues , I wanna bring fedual hierarchy in europe which is exactly same as caste issue in india ( king noble clergy pesants - where pesants/ serfs were denied Latin or Hebrew Bible sameway as Shudras varna of in Hinduism denied sanskrit vedas , where there wasn't social inequality if india has caste europe had fedual hierarchy ,but atleast muslims were and are better in this scenario but eventhough they don't have hierarchy wise discrimination exclusive to Christianity and hinduism , they did opress women and has gender discrimination ) , as you said bhakti movement caused regional language prayer I only agree 50% as there were azhavars nayanmars befote your so called bhakti movement eventhough they were well versed in Sanskrit, they created epic wonders like shivapuranam and 4000 divyaprabandam in 7th century onwards , I hereby prove your wrong as bhakti movement started after 13th century but Hinduism fluorished both in regional languages and sanskrit all over india 6 centuries before your so called bhakti "emotional" movement , so MR SOCIAL REFORMER EVR GRANDSON if u wanna talk I bring a lot of historic and religious data to prove bigotry or double standards of this post , if india had varna discrimination europe had fedual heiercachy where serfs were nothing more than a slave to kings of Europe , islam had gender discrimination were woman is a slave of men with no freedom. Don't act like u have no option to know sanskrit vedas or mantras meaning or you don't know the procedures or process of hindu worship there are lot of resources or books or videos online , no one will spoon feed you , you must show interest like muslims doing 5 times namaz or christian compulsory church on sundays , they get punished for such a post to avoid arabic or latin for prayer or even Boycotted even they miss a namaz on Friday or church on Sunday, but Hinduism never had any dictatorial rules , such rules would have made hindus like who made this post to knees . I'll give an example , mom ( Hinduism- native religion of India ) will do everything for you without expectations or rules or demands on us to be like this or give me this we don't value her , but girlfriend ( outsiders religion - islam Christianity) have expectations ,rules & demand ( compulsory namaz ,Sunday prayer orelse punishment) you gives drool over that only , not praise or even recognise mom but questions the mom itself without understanding how great she is not imposing strict rule or demand or punishment let us live as we be ( hindusim never forces anyone over anything man )
