Once we were repeating some dance theory with two Indian girls. I’ve asked for some more information, and one of them gave me her old notebook so that I could rewrite what I needed. She said though: I’m afraid it won’t help you as everything is in Sanscrit. I said it was absolutely OK for me, as I can read and write in Hindi, and therefore in Sanscrit. The other girl exclaimed: “Wow! Teach me then too!” I wondered how it was possible for her not to know the language, and she said that as she’s Bengali and born in Europe, she can only speak Benagli and doesn’t know any word in Hindi/Sanscrit…
