[QUOTE="dvader, post: 2500557, member: 101429"] I understand people in the West quoting English translations of Sanskrit Text cuz If they could understand the original why would they need translation? But Indian universities never do, I know this cuz my Grandfather's friend was a Sanskrit Professor and why would they need to I mean it seems tautological. And I didn't misunderstand, I got the sense of what you meant, and yes most of the things you interact with daily are translated to English but that doesn't mean it's everything. Now let me give you an example of why Language is not a barrier but could be a catalyst too [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman[/URL] This guy is the genius of this century. He solved one of the Clay [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems']Millennium Prize[/URL] problems. Now this is not some Oxford University-level stuff, He solved the Poincare Conjecture which along with the Reimann Hypothesis (Another Clay Problem) remained unsolved until now (I mean 2006-2007). He is a Russian and works in his own language, the west didn't even understand his proof for years (4 years to be precise) forget about recognizing it. And once the slow guys caught up, tons of awards, accolades, and money poured in. This gigachad didn't give a single F**k. He denounced all the awards, millions of dollars from Clay and other institutes, and gave a middle finger to security agencies trying to hire him. He even retired from Mathematics and now lives on a farm. Absolute gigachad......... All of his mathematical genius comes from her mother.....She left her Mathematics Graduation to raise him and the rest is history.....
