Today is... [edit]
@Sgconlaw, you have made a great blunder— I am afraid —and I wish I had seen it earlier. How is Sanskritisation relevant to M.K. Gandhi, in any of the senses of Sanskritize? Just because both Sanskrit and Gandhiji are from India? If you are interested by him, then there are many relevant entries, such as Gandhism, charkha, satyagraha, ahimsa, khadi, etc. Please take care henceforth. Thanks. — inqilābī [ inqilāb zindabād ] 15:50, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Inqilābī: well, Sanskritize was a nominated word and, yes, it generally relates to India so that was the connection. Sometimes the connection between a WOTD and the day it is featured on is the source language – see wanderlust for example (featured on German Unity Day). — SGconlaw (talk) 16:37, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Sgconlaw: So it seems you are forcefully establishing connexions between things, but the the connexion should hold water. For Sanskritize, a good match would have been World Sanskrit Day. — inqilābī [ inqilāb zindabād ] 16:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Well, please feel free to suggest more appropriate days well in advance. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:35, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
