A breakthrough Sanskrit library

Sanskrit literature with word-by-word analysis and integrated dictionaries. All in a free online library that works on all devices.

Building the world's largest Sanskrit library

Sanskrit texts are scattered across dozens of websites, thousands of books, and millions of manuscripts. Their quality and ease of use vary widely, and there isn't an easy way to explore what Sanskrit has to offer.

That's why Ambuda is building a complete library of traditional Sanskrit literature. Our library is small now, but it's growing rapidly. Soon, it will be the largest Sanskrit library in the world.

Open access for all

What if you could read Sanskrit anywhere for free? What if reading Sanskrit online were delightful and beautiful? What if you could easily find Sanskrit resources in your native language?

We have a long way to go, but we want to make our library radically accessible to as many people as we can. For now, you can use our website on any device. Soon, we'll support other languages besides English.

Intelligent technology

Word-by-word analysis. Integrated dictionary support. Transliteration to a variety of different scripts. And so much more. Our intelligent library uses state-of-the-art technology to make Sanskrit more accessible than ever before.

But our work is just beginning. We have so much planned for the future: translations, commentaries, full-text search, and deeper hyperlinks across the entire corpus.

By the public, for the public

Ambuda is run entirely by volunteers, and we would be thrilled to have your support in whatever form you can provide it. Learn more about how you can help Ambuda grow .

Sanskrit & Indology

Welcome to SAMSKRUTAM Studies

Sanskrit is the core of our Bhaaratiya (Indian) culture and knowledge. It has played the major role in everything we have today as our knowledge, culture, and values. All our major works like Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shrimad Bhagvad Gita, etc., are composed and written in Sanskrit. It is doubtless and well accepted that all these teachings are unparalleled with any other teaching in the world and will remain so.

Sanskrit language has been with us for over 10,000 years. It has been our spoken language for thousands of years. This itself tells us how important is Sanskrit to our values and how important it is for us to keep Sanskrit as one of our main-stream language. Without the knowledge of Sanskrit, as a language, we will not be able to truly appreciate and understand the literature we have. Let us bring Sanskrit back to our daily life. It is possible only when we start using Sanskrit the way we use any other language.

Our aim is to give a good starting point for learning and knowing Sanskrit. We have different sections on literature , grammar , book references, stories , online dictionary , online test and crossword puzzles . This will give a good start in learning and using Sanskrit and much more.

At the same time we are also trying to bring together existing important resources on Sanskrit. In India and abroad many good initiatives for promoting Sanskrit are going on by different organisations and institutes. But, the challenge is that most of them operate independently (which has its merits). However, for anyone interested in Sanskrit sometimes it becomes an impossible task to identify such initiatives and resources.

In this web site in the directories section we have maintained well categorised details of different organisations , schools , and universities promoting Sanskrit. A list of different Sanskrit authoring tools , web sites and book publishers is also available. This will be a good reference point for different Sanskrit initiatives .

The online collaborative features - compendia , and discussion forum - in the website are envisaged to be the platform where all can come together, study Sanskrit & Indology subjects, as well as share their knowledge in building the platform.

Browser should automatically display the Devnagari script properly. However if it does not, then to view Devnagari script contents, install Devnagari script on your computer using Sanskrit2003 font. If your computer does not have the font please download it and install. You will be able to read the Sanskrit contents. Help (?) section has more details.

In some of the pages (dictionary, discussion forum etc) you can enter Sanskrit scripts. For this you can use our Sanskrit Editor page to generate Devanagari script from ITRANS text input. Alternatively, you can install some editor software on your computer, through which you can type-in Devnagri scripts.

Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्)

Sanskrit is the classical language of Indian and the liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is also one of the 22 official languages of India. The name Sanskrit means "refined", "consecrated" and "sanctified". It has always been regarded as the 'high' language and used mainly for religious and scientific discourse.

Vedic Sanskrit, the pre-Classical form of the language and the liturgical language of the Vedic religion, is one of the earliest attested members of the Indo-European language family. The oldest known text in Sanskrit, the Rigveda , a collection of over a thousand Hindu hymns, composed during the 2nd millenium BC.

Today Sanskrit is used mainly in Hindu religious rituals as a ceremonial language for hymns and mantras. Efforts are also being made to revive Sanskrit as an everyday spoken language in the village of Mattur near Shimoga in Karnataka. A modern form of Sanskrit is one of the 17 official home languages in India.

There are about 24,800 people in India who speak Sanskrit as a first language, in particularly in Allahabad, Jaunpur, Kaushambi, and Pratagarh districts of Uttar Pradesh state, and also in Delhi and other cities. Another 5 million people in India use Sanskrit as a second language, and 3,000 people in Nepal do so as well.

Since the late 19th century, Sanskrit has been written mostly with the Devanāgarī alphabet. However it has also been written with all the other alphabets of India, except Gurmukhi and Tamil, and with other alphabets such as Thai and Tibetan . The Bhaiksuki , Grantha , Sharda and Siddham alphabets are used only for Sanskrit.

Since the late 18th century, Sanskrit has also been written with the Latin alphabet. The most commonly used system is the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST), which was been the standard for academic work since 1912.

Devanāgarī alphabet for Sanskrit

Note : there are about a thousand conjunct consonants, most of which combine two or three consonants. There are also some with four-consonant conjuncts and at least one well-known conjunct with five consonants. This is a selection of commonly-used conjuncts.

Sample text in Sanskrit

Translated into Sanskrit by Arvind Iyengar

Tranliteration

Sarvē mānavāḥ svatantrāḥ samutpannāḥ vartantē api ca, gauravadr̥śā adhikāradr̥śā ca samānāḥ ēva vartantē. Ētē sarvē cētanā-tarka-śaktibhyāṁ susampannāḥ santi. Api ca, sarvē´pi bandhutva-bhāvanayā parasparaṁ vyavaharantu.

The 10 Best Resources to Learn Sanskrit Online

Most learners of the Sanskrit language have the desire to be proficient or even just learn how to read and write it. But Sanskrit isn’t “that easy” to learn, especially if you don’t have the ideal resources for learning. There are various books or courses which cost time and money, not to mention, you’ll be required to do a lot of homework. This traditional method of learning, similar to modern universities, will feel like pressure pushing down on you while you are trying to learn.

We all know that “studying online” is one of the best ways to LEARN SOMETHING — not only a language or an accent, but also in different ways such as solving math problems, cooking, dancing, or even fixing your gadgets. Thanks to the innovation of technology, you can learn Sanskrit online, too!

Here are some of the best resources to learn Sanskrit online:

Learnsanskrit.org

The learning website, learnsanskrit.org, aims to help students read “real” Sanskrit as quickly as possible. The lessons on the website focus on the commonly used parts of the Sanskrit grammar, such as word formation, the system of compounds, the appropriate ways to use participles, noun stems, etc. This website also uses clear and correct grammar to avoid confusion on the learner’s side.

The learnsanskrit.org also aims to simplify the learning process without even simplifying the “language” itself. As we all know, some language-learning websites are a bit difficult for learners to comprehend the lessons — which leaves them to find another website instead. But learnsanskrit.org has beginner-friendly lessons that are easy to pick up for every learner. What’s more amazing here is that all the lessons are offered for free!

Learn Sanskrit Online

The website was founded by Vidyadhar Bhat, who is a Sanskrit scholar and a teacher who taught Sanskrit for several years in schools and traditional gurukula . Today, Learn Sanskrit Online is managed by a growing team whose goal is to continue developing the website to teach learners using the most convenient ways. Currently, the website continues to release new lessons and improve the platform.

There are free lessons available on the website, as well as paid one-on-one classes via Skype. The lessons are suitable for beginners up to advanced learners. To make the most out of it, first, try the free lessons offered on the platform. Once you’ve finished them all, then it’s time to try the online classes to enhance your knowledge about Sanskrit grammar. Learn Sanskrit Online is worthy of your time and money!

Chinmaya International Foundation: Easy Sanskrit Course

The Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF) is the research wing of the Chinmaya Mission . It is the center of excellence for studying and researching as well as dissemination of knowledge in the areas of Indian philosophy, culture, art, science, and business — both modern and traditional.

The Easy Sanskrit Course is a foundation for beginners who want to learn about Sanskrit completely. The lessons are designed for every mother tongue, children or adults, beginners or advanced. The Easy Sanskrit Course is a stepping-stone for all Sanskrit learners. It will teach you not only the grammar but also welcomes you to the Indian culture. However, the courses aren’t free, but still affordable.

Open Pathshala

Keeping the motto of “your best source to learn Sanskrit,” Open Pathshala is an e-learning platform for learning Sanskrit, Hindi, English, and other regional languages across India. The platform is popular in India for having high quality and online video tutorials, one-on-one Skype classes, and live group sessions. Aside from having language classes and video tutorials, the website also offers courses for learning the Indian culture.

Their goal is to educate learners using the advancements of technology. Open Pathshala can be accessed through their website or by using their mobile application for the convenience of every learner around the world.

The website lets you understand more Sanskrit grammar. All you need to do is to buy that book and open this website.

ApnaCourse.com: Sanskrit for Beginners

ApnaCourse.com is a leading e-learning platform that provides in-demand online courses taught by top instructors. The company was founded in 2013 and had been growing successfully over the following years. The platform teaches not only language but also career courses in various fields such as Banking and Finance, Project and Ops Management, IT and Security, Sales and Marketing, Law, and many more.

Among the languages taught on the platform is Sanskrit for Beginners . It offers a complete package of learning Sanskrit. It covers Alphabets, Pronunciation, Grammar, Sentence formation, Conversations, and all the basic lessons needed for beginners. This course is recommended for everyone — students or professionals.

Enjoy Learning Sanskrit

This website aims to help promote the learning of the Sanskrit language. It offers a few learning and teaching tools in learning the basics of the Sanskrit language — they are all free! The tools are easy for both children and adults, which makes learning a fun hobby to do.

The website continues to add more lessons and materials. Currently, the site has the tools for learning the alphabet, pronunciation, reading, writing, typing, and other basics in learning the language.

Acharya: Learn Sanskrit Through Self-Study

The Acharya Website is a useful tool for learning Sanskrit through self-study. The lessons are presented uniquely and conveniently to make it hassle-free for learning Sanskrit. Also, the pages on the website carry interesting information related to Sanskrit, which isn’t widely known outside India.

The lessons are aimed to give the learner a good introduction to Sanskrit. We know that self-studying is sometimes frustrating and boring. That’s why the lessons in Acharya are related to the daily activities in our lives, such as everyday conversations; all are free!

Sanskrit Dictionary

According to the name itself, Sanskrit Dictionary, this website will ONLY act as your “online dictionary” when learning Sanskrit. Although there are no courses offered on this website, it’s still useful for you to learn new words and vocabularies which you haven’t encountered from other websites or platforms.

One amazing thing about learning in this online dictionary is that you can “always study” wherever you are. For example, while you were inside the bus, you can check out this website and put some words you know into the Sanskrit translation. This is an effective way to add more Sanskrit vocabularies.

Language Trainers: Sanskrit Classes

Quite expensive but surely transforms you into a real Sanskrit speaker, the Language Trainers provides language training curriculum tailored to the needs of an individual. The world-class trainers will focus on your strengths and mostly weaknesses to enhance your language skills. The platform offers one-on-one Skype lessons and private face-to-face at your home or office (if trainers are available near you.)

The Sanskrit course in Language Trainers also gives you recordings of Skype lessons so that you can review them whenever you’re free. This e-learning platform is one of the most outstanding ones, though we admit that it’s pretty costly compared to other learning platforms.

Tips on Learning Sanskrit Online

Always write down ALL your weak points to improve them in your next lessons. I recommend you make a list of ALL the mistakes you’ve done per lesson so that it’s easier to organize which points you need to improve more.

When self-studying, I suggest that you remove all the “possible distractions” around you, such as smartphones or gaming devices — those are your enemies when studying by yourself.

Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Whether you’re studying alone or one-on-one Skype classes, you’ll always be the “boss” here. If you have a hard time with one point, just keep studying it over and over again before you proceed to the next lesson.

Make time for studying Sanskrit every day. It’s more effective if you keep studying at least an hour a day to enhance your knowledge about the language. If you study only for once a week, there’s a bigger chance that you’ll forget some words or ideas.

You can study Sanskrit either for free or not. If you study online for free, it doesn’t mean that your learning is limited. Well, YES, it might be limited ONLY for THAT website… not for ALL websites. That means, if you’re already done with the free courses on a website, then move to the next website that offers paid Sanskrit lessons.

Introduce the different ways to learn Sanskrit

Sanskrit is an ancient language with a rich literary tradition. It is also the language of choice for many Hindu scriptures. As a result, there is a great demand for Sanskrit courses, both online and offline.

However, Sanskrit can be a difficult language to learn, as it has a complex grammar and an unfamiliar script. For those who are new to the language, it is often helpful to start with a basic course that covers the alphabet and basic grammar rules.

Once this foundation has been established, more advanced courses can be undertaken to improve fluency and expand vocabulary. For those who want to learn Sanskrit in depth, research resources are available at universities and colleges across India.

There are also a number of online resources that can be used to supplement formal instruction. By taking advantage of these different learning opportunities, students can develop a strong command of Sanskrit.

Explain the benefits of learning Sanskrit

Sanskrit is often considered to be the most precise and elegant language in the world. Unlike many modern languages, which have evolved organically over time, Sanskrit was designed from scratch to be a perfectly structured language.

As a result, it is extremely concise and easy to learn. Sanskrit also has a rich literary tradition, with works of poetry, drama, and philosophy that are essential to understanding Indian culture.

Sanskrit is still used by Hindu priests in religious ceremonies. For all of these reasons, learning Sanskrit can be an immensely rewarding experience.

Although Sanskrit is not a commonly spoken language today, the benefits of learning it are many. If you’re looking for a unique and interesting challenge, or if you want to gain an advantage in your field by being able to read ancient texts, then Sanskrit may be the perfect language for you.

With so many resources available online, there’s no excuse not to get started today!

Why the World Still Needs Immanuel Kant

Unlike in Europe, few in the United States will be celebrating the philosopher’s 300th birthday. But Kant’s writing shows that a free, just and moral life is possible — and that’s relevant everywhere.

Credit... Illustration by Daniel Barreto

By Susan Neiman

The philosopher Susan Neiman is the director of the Einstein Forum in Potsdam, Germany.

• Published April 17, 2024 Updated April 18, 2024

When I arrived in Berlin in 1982, I was writing a dissertation on Kant’s conception of reason. It was thrilling to learn that the apartment I’d sublet turned out to be located near Kantstrasse, though at the time I wondered in frustration: Why was there no James Street — Henry or William — in the Cambridge, Mass., I’d left behind; no streets honoring Emerson or Eliot? Were Americans as indifferent to culture as snooty Europeans supposed? It didn’t take long before I, too, could walk down Kantstrasse and turn right on Leibniz without a thought.

It’s harder to ignore the way Germany, like other European nations, sets aside entire years to honor its cultural heroes. This century has already seen an Einstein Year , a Beethoven Year , a Luther Year and a Marx Year , each commemorating some round-numbered anniversary of the hero in question. Federal and local governments provide considerable sums for events that celebrate the thinkers in question and debate their contemporary relevance.

Years before Immanuel Kant’s 300th birthday on April 22, 2024, the Academy of Science in Berlin, to which he once belonged, organized a conference to begin preparations for his tercentennial. A second conference published a report of the proceedings, but when I urged colleagues to use the occasion to create programs for a wider audience, I was met with puzzled silence. Reaching a wider audience is not a talent philosophy professors normally cultivate, but conversations with other cultural institutions showed this case to be especially thorny.

It wasn’t just uneasiness about celebrating “another dead white man,” as one museum director put it. The problems became deeper as the zeitgeist changed. “ Immanuel Kant: A European Thinker ” was a good title for that conference report in 2019, when Brexit seemed to threaten the ideal of European unification Germans supported. Just a few years later, “European” has become a slur. At a time when the Enlightenment is regularly derided as a Eurocentric movement designed to support colonialism, who feels comfortable throwing a yearlong birthday party for its greatest thinker?

Nonetheless, this year’s ceremonies will officially commence on April 22 with a speech by Chancellor Scholz and a memorial lunch that has taken place on the philosopher’s birthday every year since 1805. Two days earlier, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany will open an exhibit at the presidential palace devoted to Kant’s writing on peace.

The start of the year saw special Kant editions of four prominent German magazines. A Kant movie made for television premiered on March 1, and another is in production. Four exhibits on Kant and the Enlightenment will open in Bonn, Lüneburg, Potsdam and Berlin. The conferences will be numerous, including one organized by the Divan, Berlin’s house for Arab culture.

But why celebrate the Kant year at all?

The philosopher’s occasional autobiographical remarks provide a clue to the answer. As the son of a saddle maker, Kant would have led a workman’s life himself, had a pastor not suggested the bright lad deserved some higher education. He came to love his studies and to “despise the common people who knew nothing,” until “Rousseau set me right,” he wrote. Kant rejected his earlier elitism and declared his philosophy would restore the rights of humanity — otherwise they would be more useless than the work of a common laborer.

Chutzpah indeed. The claim becomes even more astonishing if you read a random page of his texts. How on earth, you may ask, are human rights connected with proving our need to think in categories like “cause” or “substance?” The question is seldom raised, and the autobiographical remarks usually ignored, for traditional readings of Kant focus on his epistemology, or theory of knowledge.

Before Kant, it’s said, philosophers were divided between Rationalists and Empiricists, who were concerned about the sources of knowledge. Does it come from our senses, or our reason? Can we ever know if anything is real? By showing that knowledge requires sensory experience as well as reason, we’re told, Kant refuted the skeptics’ worry that we never know if anything exists at all.

All this is true, but it hardly explains why the poet Heinrich Heine found Kant more ruthlessly revolutionary than Robespierre. Nor does it explain why Kant himself said only pedants care about that kind of skepticism. Ordinary people do not fret over the reality of tables or chairs or billiard balls. They do, however, wonder if ideas like freedom and justice are merely fantasies. Kant’s main goal was to show they are not.

The point is often missed, because Kant was as bad a writer as he was a great philosopher. By the time he finishes proving the existence of the objects of ordinary experience and is ready to show how they differ from ideas of reason, the semester is nearly over. Long-windedness is not, however, the only reason his work is often misinterpreted. Consider the effects of a bad review.

Had Kant died before his 57th birthday, he’d be remembered by a few scholars for some short, early texts. He withdrew from writing them in 1770 to conceive and compose his great “Critique of Pure Reason .” After what scholars call his “silent decade,” Kant pulled the text together in six months and finally published in 1781. For a year and a half, Kant waited for responses. When one finally appeared, it was a hatchet job accusing him of being a Berkeleyan solipsist: someone who denies the existence of ordinary objects.

Any author can imagine Kant’s dismay, and most likely his rage. In haste to refute the distortion of his life’s work, Kant wrote a second edition of the “Critique of Pure Reason,” and more fatefully, the “Prolegomena .” Since the latter is much shorter than the main book, it’s read far more often, and this has skewed the interpretation of Kant’s work as a whole. If the major problem of philosophy were proving the world’s existence, then Kant surely solved it. (Richard Rorty argued that he did, and that philosophy has little more to offer.)

In fact Kant was driven by a question that still plagues us: Are ideas like freedom and justice utopian daydreams, or are they more substantial? Their reality can’t be proven like that of material objects, for those ideas make entirely different claims on us — and some people are completely impervious to their claims. Could philosophy show that acting morally, if not particularly common, is at least possible?

A stunning thought experiment answers that question in his next book, the “Critique of Practical Reason .” Kant asks us to imagine a man who says temptation overwhelms him whenever he passes “a certain house.” (The 18th century was discreet.) But if a gallows were constructed to insure the fellow would be hanged upon exiting the brothel, he’d discover he can resist temptation very well. All mortal temptations fade in the face of threats to life itself.

Yet the same man would hesitate if asked to condemn an innocent man to death, even if a tyrant threatened to execute him instead. Kant always emphasized the limits of our knowledge, and none of us know if we would crumble when faced with death or torture. Most of us probably would. But all of us know what we should do in such a case, and we know that we could .

This experiment shows we are radically free. Not pleasure but justice can move human beings to deeds that overcome the deepest of animal desires, the love of life. We want to determine the world, not only to be determined by it. We are born and we die as part of nature, but we feel most alive when we go beyond it: To be human is to refuse to accept the world we are given.

At the heart of Kant’s metaphysics stands the difference between the way the world is and the way the world ought to be. His thought experiment is an answer to those who argue that we are helpless in the face of pleasure and can be satisfied with bread and circuses — or artisanal chocolate and the latest iPhone. If that were true, benevolent despotism would be the best form of government.

But if we long, in our best moments, for the dignity of freedom and justice, Kant’s example has political consequences. It’s no surprise he thought the French Revolution confirmed our hopes for moral progress — unlike the followers of his predecessor David Hume, who thought it was dangerous to stray from tradition and habit.

This provides an answer to contemporary critics whose reading of Kant’s work focuses on the ways in which it violates our understanding of racism and sexism. Some of his remarks are undeniably offensive to 21st-century ears. But it’s fatal to forget that his work gave us the tools to fight racism and sexism, by providing the metaphysical basis of every claim to human rights.

Kant argued that each human being must be treated as an end and not as a means — which is why he called colonialism “evil” and congratulated the Chinese and Japanese for denying entry to European invaders. Contemporary dismissals of Enlightenment thinkers forget that those thinkers invented the concept of Eurocentrism, and urged their readers to consider the world from non-European perspectives. Montesquieu put his criticisms of French society in the mouths of fictitious Persians; Lahontan attacked European politics through dialogues with a Native American.

At a time when the advice to “be realistic” is best translated as the advice to decrease your expectations, Kant’s work asks deep questions about what reality is. He insisted that when we think morally, we should abstract from the cultural differences that divide us and recognize the potential human dignity in every human being. This requires the use of our reason. Contrary to trendy views that see reason as an instrument of domination, Kant saw reason’s potential as a tool for liberation.

He also argued that political and social relations must aim toward justice rather than power, however often those may be confused in practice. We’ve come to better understand how racism and sexism can preclude genuine universalism. Should we discard Kant’s commitment to universalism because he did not fully realize it himself — or rather celebrate the fact that we can make moral progress, an idea which Kant would wholeheartedly applaud?

In Germany, it’s now common to hear that the Enlightenment was at very best ambivalent: While it may have been an age of reason, it was also an age of slavery and colonialism. This argument ignores the fact that, like progressive intellectuals everywhere, Enlightenment thinkers did not win all their battles. It also neglects the fact that they fought for them anyway, despite the risks of censorship, exile and even death.

Significantly, many contemporary intellectuals from formerly colonized countries reject those arguments. Thinkers like the Ghanaian Ato Sekyi-Otu, the Nigerian Olufemi Taiwo, the Chilean Carlos Peña, the Brazilian Francisco Bosco or the Indian Benjamin Zachariah are hardly inclined to renounce Enlightenment ideas as Eurocentric.

The problem with ideas like universal human rights is not that they come from Europe, but that they were not realized outside of it. Perhaps we should take a lesson from the Enlightenment and listen to non-Western standpoints?

NPR Editor Resigns In Aftermath Of His Essay Criticizing Network For Bias

UPDATE: The NPR editor who penned an essay criticizing the network for what he saw as bias in its coverage of Donald Trump and a host of other issues has resigned.

Uri Berliner , who had been a senior business editor and reporter, posting his resignation letter to NPR CEO Katherine Maher on his X/Twitter account.

A spokesperson for the network declined to comment.

Berliner had been temporarily suspended from NPR after publishing on essay for The Free Press that called out the network for losing “an open minded spirit” and lacking viewpoint diversity. He cited, among other things, audience research showing a drop in the number of listeners considering themselves conservative.

While Berliner’s essay was immediately seized upon by right wing media as evidence of NPR’s bias, some of his colleagues criticized him for making mistakes in his piece in for using “sweeping statements” to make his case, in the words of NPR’s Steve Inskeep. Maher criticized the essay in a note to staffers, writing, “Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.”

But Berliner’s essay did trigger some discussion within NPR, as some voices on the right, including Trump, called for defunding the network.

PREVIOUSLY: NPR has put on temporary suspension the editor who penned an essay that criticized the network for losing the trust of listeners as it has covered the rise of Donald Trump and coverage of Covid, race and other issues.

Uri Berliner has been suspended for five days without pay, starting last Friday, according to NPR’s David Folkenflik.

“That wouldn’t be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, it’s devastating both for its journalism and its business model,” Berliner wrote. He also wrote that “race and identity became paramount in nearly every aspect of the workplace,” while claiming that the network lacked viewpoint diversity.

His essay set off a firestorm on the right, with Trump blasting the network and Fox News devoting extensive coverage to the criticism, along with calls for ending government funding for NPR.

In his essay, Berliner wrote that “defunding isn’t the answer,” but that its journalism needed to change from within. The network’s funding has been a target of conservatives numerous times in the past, but lawmakers ultimately have supported public radio.

Berliner shared his suspension notice with Folkenflik, who wrote that it was for failure to seek approval for outside work, as well as for releasing proprietary information about audience demographics.

Katherine Maher, who recently became CEO of the network, published a note to staff last week that appeared to take issue with Berliner’s essay, writing that there was “a criticism of our people on the basis of who we are.”

“Asking a question about whether we’re living up to our mission should always be fair game: after all, journalism is nothing if not hard questions,” Maher wrote. “Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.”

Maher herself has become a target on the right, with some figures citing her past social media posts, including one from 2020 that referred to Trump as a “deranged racist sociopath.” At the time, she was CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation. In a statement to The New York Times , Maher said that “in America everyone is entitled to free speech as a private citizen.” “What matters is NPR’s work and my commitment as its C.E.O.: public service, editorial independence and the mission to serve all of the American public,” she said.

An NPR spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment. The network told The Times that Maher is not involved in editorial decisions.

Some of Berliner’s colleagues have been vocal in their own criticism of his essay. Eric Deggans, the network’s TV critic and media analyst, wrote that Berliner “set up staffers of color as scapegoats.” He also noted that Berliner “didn’t seek comment from NPR before publishing. Didn’t mention many things which could detract from his conclusions.”
