Publisher's Synopsis
When Cambridge University awarded a PhD degree on the thesis submitted on Paṇini to Atul Rishi Raj Popat titled "In Paṇini We Trust- Discovering the Algorithm for Rule Conflict Resolution in the Aṣṭadhyayi," it was publicized by Atul Rishi Raj and his supervisor in social, print and mainstream media that 2500-year-old algorithm of Paṇini has been cracked. This thesis submitted to the University of Cambridge on Paṇini is a miserable fiasco. It cannot be deemed a work by PhD student but rather by a perplexed Sidhhantkaumudi's sophomore in the guise of Paṇinian Disciple. This false propaganda cajoled us into deflating the exuberance rife in the media about an ostensible claim of cracking the 2500-year-old algorithm of Paṇini.
So we attempted this rebuttal in detail with evidence to bust the falsehood of the new mechanism conjectured in Cambridge University PhD thesis and bring the truth to light. Hope this detailed explanation with evidence will help readers and scholars to understand the greatness of Paṇini from Paṇini's perspective and the importance of ancient Arṣa-vidhi (method) to learn Sanskrit and Vedic grammar invented by ancient Indian scholars of Paṇinian tradition.
