Not sure if it's a serious question because of flair but many answers seem to be sincere, so no, the idea is to retain the language while simultaneously deconstructing (or distancing) the religious/political connotations around it so as to make it a purely academic point of interest. This requires encouragement, whether socially or financially, of members of the lower caste community (and other religions and non-believers and what-have-you, while Hindu UC scholars should also be encouraged to enroll in non-Sanskrit programs) to increasingly enroll in such Sanskrit programs, take ownership of the text and invest in linguistic and philological angles around Sanskrit, which is aplenty in the language. This should also shift towards a challenge of oppressive terminology (like racist or homophobic slurs in English, but in Sanskrit), work on building a stigma around it as "lingual violence" and critically study old Sanskrit texts as a product of the times and social norms they were written in, which is vastly different from the modern context and ideals. However, language erasure, even at first sight, is an oppressive and masochistic act given the cultural, historical and lingual significance of the language.

Unless you're replacing it with the language of our Sharia Bolshevik comrades, of course. /s
