Lastly, a word of warning. In their zeal to popularise the subject, scholars in the field should not make it very cheap At present it is generally seen that Prakrit education is stipendary. In such a system psudo students more interested in filling up their vacant hours, getting stipend and as a side issue, degrees also than in acquiring kno weedge infiltrate into the field. They presume that they are doing a favour to the subject by condescending to study it and so they deserve to be rewarded with an honourable degree without any streneous industry for the same. This trend has to be ruthlessly stopped if we want Prakrit studies to be duly recogni. sed and valued in the society.
