Here are some of the reasons that philosophers, politicians, academicians and historians state why we as a humanity should pursue the study of Samskritam.

Samskritam literature is national in one sense, but its purpose has been universal. That was why it commanded the attention of people who were not followers of a particular culture - Dr. S.Radhakrishnan

Sanskrit is the language of Indian culture and inspiration, the language in which all her past greatness, her rich thought, and her spiritual aspirations are enshrined. Sanskrit has not only been the treasure-house of our past knowledge and achievements in the realm of thought and art, but it has also been the principal vehicle of our nation's aspirations and cultural traditions, besides being the source and inspiration of India's modern languages. - Dr. Rajendra Prasad

"The reasons for studying Sanskrit today are the same as they ever were: that the vast array of Sanskrit texts preserves for us a valuable part of the cultural heritage of mankind, including much beautiful literature and many interesting, even fascinating ideas". - Professor Richard Gombrich, Boden Chair at Oxford University
