For more than a hundred years, the Sanskrit language has been erroneously associated with her hypothetical parents.
This book discovers the real parents of Sanskrit in the ruins of her own parental house, buried for millenniums but still breathing, now also able to give a first-hand account of themselves. It is the story of how a human being began speaking in human voice.
