When I saw "Pollock" as one of the references for your vast knowledge about Sanskrit, I understood how ill informed you would be.

If you are a person with an open mind and truly interested in exploring about the language Sanskrit, I recommend the book, Battle for Sanskrit, by Rajiv Malhotra.

Also for Sanskrit enthusiasts reading my comment, I recommend this playlist for learning basic Sanskrit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDgozf92HnE&list=PLlNdduOe1pp12SWXlphYT5h7zj0p2mhx3
