[Jyothi Wrote:Because Krishnamurti wrote in detail about
‘s’, ‘k’, ‘c’ etc in Dravidian languages in the same book,

have quoted “Tamil drops an Indo-aryan s” which is not
relevant to the discussion and is out of context to the
discussion."]

This is brilliant! First you construct a form for sarsapa
which does not exist in any Dravidian language but only in
Sanskrit! Have you wondered about the fallacy?

Next you ignore the regular sound changes which causes the
elision of Sanskrit /s/ in various Dravidian languages and
reconstruct a single word sarsapa from Dravidian and ignore
the rest of the examples given because they are too hard!

was from the primary source written by Krishnamurthi and
nothing from any secondary source.

Hope this helps,
