संस्कृत साहित्य में नूतन प्रयोग

Summary

Entitled ‘New Experiments in Sanskrit Literature’, this Hindi essay surveys innovations undertaken by modern Sanskrit writers. The author notes that while Sanskrit has long been considered a classical language, in recent decades poets, playwrights and novelists have begun to adapt it to contemporary themes and forms. Examples include works that incorporate modern science, social issues and psychological exploration, as well as experiments with free verse, dialogue and narrative techniques. The essay discusses how these innovations respond to the changing socio‑cultural context of India and seeks to make Sanskrit literature accessible to younger generations. It also notes resistance from purists who view such departures as deviations from established norms. Ultimately, the author argues that the vitality of Sanskrit depends on its ability to assimilate new subjects and stylistic devices while preserving its grammatical discipline.
