             Learned Sanskrit Scholar Dr. Shiv Prasad Bhardwaj contributed in Development of Sanskrit Literature after independence in many fields.

         His Sanskrit Drama Ajeya Bharatam (Unwinnable India) is a radio drama and was praised by critics a lot. Bhardwaj is one of the pioneers in initiating Radio Drama in Sanskrit.  The subject is about social responsibilities, society’s patriotic and nationalistic thinking after the defeat of Indian troops against sudden deceptive attacks by China in 1962.

 The said radio drama is called newer style in Sanskrit dramaturgy.

There are small dialogues, simple dialogues, no  Shlokas in drama. There is only one song in drama and that is for a purpose and for movement.

 The appreciable characteristic of the said Sanskrit drama is that Bhardwaj brilliantly created newer words for Sanskrit by adapting common English words as –

‘Shailgoptar’ for Helicopter

Twarak for Truck

Yan-Seetkar for Horn

 Dr Bhardwaj would be remembered in Sanskrit Literature for his initiating radio drama and for creating newer words for Sanskrit Dictionary from English words.
