Some people make fun of Indians are not able to make scientific strides & applaud Germans & the Americans. But nobody talks about how the Germans made major strides in science. Germans got hold of most of our scientific scriptures first & they used it to create today's scientific world. The whole world is doing research on all the Indian scriptures today, which was all stolen from India.
Everybody mocked India when we were under colonized rule. But today everybody is doing serious research on India & Indian scripts. This is reason everybody wants to be friends with India. This is the reason why China invaded Tibet & occupied it. Since many know of the mystical power of Kailash mountain.

Will Germans be the eventual custodians of Sanskrit, its rich heritage and culture? If the demand for Sanskrit and Indology courses in Germany is any indication, that’s what the future looks like.
Unable to cope with the flood of applications from around the world, the South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, had to start a summer school in spoken Sanskrit in Switzerland, Italy and - believe it or not - India too.
In Germany, 14 of the top universities teach Sanskrit, classical and modern Indology compared to just four in the UK. The summer school spans a month in August every year and draws applications from across the globe.
“So far, 254 students from 34 countries have participated in this course. Every year we have to reject many applications,” said Dr. Michaels.
Apart from Germany, the majority of students come from the US, Italy, the UK and the rest of Europe.
Professor Dr. Axel Michaels, Head of Classical Indology at the University of Heidelberg says, “Even the core thoughts of Buddhism were in the Sanskrit language. To better understand the genesis of oriental philosophy, history, languages, sciences and culture, it’s essential to read the original Sanskrit texts as these are some of the earliest thoughts and discoveries,”
“One can better understand evolution of politics and economics by studying Arthashastra by Chanakya,” said Dr. Michaels.
Sanskrit, along with its culture, philosophy and science might become similarly extinct,” he claimed, adding: “On the other hand, there is so much yet to discover through Sanskrit…details of Indus Valley civilisation, for example.”
Germany has already been a storehouse of Sanskrit scholars to the world.
“The majority of Sanskrit scholars, including those at Harvard, California Berkeley and the UK, are Germans,” he said.
But why?
Sanskrit is not even a spoken language used to communicate neither in India nor anywhere in the world, So why is Germany & many other countries wanting to learn sanskrit
