Abstract
Natural Language Processing is a branch of Artificial Intelligence. Research on Natural Language Processing has started in western countries in 1940s itself. But in India the research on Natural Language Processing has started only early in 1990s. Linguistically India is a diverse country. There are more than 1000 languages are being in use in India. It is true that all Indian languages share common properties due to the influence of Sanskrit on them. Keeping this in view some research groups around the globe are working on Sanskrit Computational Linguistics or Natural Language Processing. In this paper an attempt is made to shed the light on the research done in this field till now and this will help the young researchers where to start from.
