Hi Gaurav,
The term "Sanskrit" is one that was started by the Westerners who found it
difficult to pronounce "Samskritam/Samskrit".
You too could try pronouncing the word Samskritam in English accent which
will lead you to Sanskrit. Its better we stick to our basics and call it
Samskritam.

Regarding preceding mail chain, It should be
'Sanskrit' rather than
'Samskrit' .Please correct me if I am wrong.
Congrats to all who helped Sanskrit board the wiki.
