Question of the year!
Aastha! This can be a thread to understand so much for all of us. I appreciate your non conformist stance.
I think Indians take a legitimate pride in Sanskrit, but since it is a ceremonial in nature (majority do not read or learn this language), they gradually develop their own views of the Sanskrit literature.
More importantly, students and scholars of Ayurveda need to bring the knowledge of Ayurveda and Sanskrit to the public in a manner that stands the scrutiny of modern scientific tenets. That way, not only prestige of this pristine science will increase, it will help the humanity in healing in more holistic ways.

Thank you
Sanskrit is a language, not a measure of scientific validity
Recent studies have even shown that the Sanskrit names of medicinal plants often reflect their pharmacological properties. For example, researchers analyzed 23 Ayurvedic plants and found that their Sanskrit names were not arbitrary—they were based on observable effects and bioactive compounds.
Reference:
The significance of Sanskrit names of medicinal plants used in Ayurveda
Its already discovered by our ancients GURUs even before newton laws
But the sad reality is that we don’t believe in our own system and consider it fake.
Exactly!!
Just because something’s in Sanskrit doesn’t make it unscientific. If Newton’s laws were written in Hindi, gravity wouldn’t suddenly become fake, truth stays the same, no matter the language.
