Indian Government spends more on that language than any other language except for Hindi. In fact, the Indian Government spends more money on that language than it spends on all other languages combined with the exception of Hindi, although many of those languages are spoken by tens of millions of people each, some close to 100 million people. This language that is getting such pampering is Sanskrit. Two forces are behind it. First, the Brahmin supremacists who hold high positions in the Indian Government bureaucracy.
Top bureaucrats can nudge the system to some extent to go their way.
But in the final count, in a democracy, it is the politicians who set the course. Thus the Brahmin supremacists in the Indian Government bureaucracy cannot by themselves allocate huge sums for Sanskrit. Therein comes the second force that controls the Indian Government and its purse strings. This second force is the Hindian politicians who dominate and control the Indian Government because they form the single largest group in the parliament. These two forces, together, are behind the lavish spending of taxpayer monies on Sanskrit.
