After school on Thursdays, Sion Chakalabbi attends classes in Sydney's south west where he learns Sanskrit — the mother of many of India's languages.
Sion learns how to write, how to speak, and how to chant in the foundational language that underpins many of India's diverse languages.
His parents, Prashant and Sangeeata, migrated from Bangalore in India's south west to Australia nine years ago when Sion was just a year old.
