Sanskrit scientific language, NASA has written papers on it: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta

Batting for Sanskrit's resurgence, DelhiDelhiDelhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday (May 4) hailed it as the "most scientific" and "computer-friendly" language. The CM highlighted that even NASA scientists had recognised the ancient Indian language's potential for coding and other scientific work.

Ms Gupta made the remark while speaking at the closing ceremony of a Sanskrit learning initiative that started on April 23. The Delhi government, in collaboration with the NGO Samskrita Bharati, organised the event.

"The glorious history of India is written in this language, our culture is recorded in it, and it is taught in over 60 universities across the world. While researching, I found that even NASA scientists have written research papers on it, recognising it as a scientific language, one that supports coding and commands. Sanskrit is a scientific language," said Ms Gupta during the address.
