“If I were asked what I consider the most important discovery which has been made during 19th century with all respect to the ancient history of mankind, I should say this was the simple etymological equation : Sanskrit Dyaus-Pitr = Greek Zeus Pater = Latin Jupiter."  - Max Müller.

 

"Panini's grammar is the earliest scientific grammar in the world, the earliest extant grammar of any language, and one of the greatest ever written. It was the discovery of Sanskrit by the West, at the end of the 18th century, and the study of Indian methods of analysing language that revolutionised our study of language and grammar, and gave rise to our science of comparative philology”. - Walter Eugene Clark - The Legacy of India, p. 339-340.


“The affinity between the Greek language and the old Parsee and Sanskrit is certain and essential. The use of cognate idioms prove that the nations who used them to have descended from the same stock. That the religion of the Greeks emanated from an Eastern shore no-one will deny. We must therefore suppose the religion, as well as the language of Greece to have been derived, in great part, largely from the east”. Dr Prichard - Physical History Of Man.
