Germans including Hitler, encouraged their scientists and other intellectuals to learn Samskrita, so that they can study our manuscripts and understand how science and tech concepts which were already mastered by ancient Indians, could be used effectively.
Unfortunately, neither we nor our government have realised the importance and we continue to ignore the vast treasuers that are lying within our reach.
GOI who is so bent upon the reservation issues for IIM and IITs - why can't they start a Samskrita Univesity in each state and make it open for all? I am sure we have the required resources also for teaching. No use all students think that IIT / IIM is the be-all and end-all.
