The reason is that Christian propagandist, liars and others have done a lot of good job against Hinduism.
These Christian missionaries were completely shameless liars and their propaganda against Hinduism is best to understand how frightened Christianity was of Hinduism (I can give you some site links to know how frightened they are of Hinduism even now, despite the fact that Hinduism doesn%u2019t convert people). Sanskrit is not Arabic, it is not even English; it is a much more syntactically perfect language compared to all others. I can read and understand Sanskrit and can write a little bit (but writing will be difficult), its sentences are written using best possible grammar and its words have one of the most refined generative etymology. Still Christian missionaries deliberately translated a lot of Puranas and some part of Vedas like total fools (it is not possible to give them the luxury of unintentional mistakes, their preface and the tone of translations will further confirm it).
