Sanskrit is Hinduism’s ancient and structured language.

Sanskrit is a root language of almost all Indians languages except Dravidian languages. Though in case of most of Indian languages, 40 to 60% vocabulary might be same as Sanskrit. So it can improve your vocabulary / mother tongue (for Indians).

Many hindu mantras and shlokas are in Sanskrit. If you learn Sanskrit then you will understand the pure meaning of these Mantras that are receited.

Popular Hindu literature like Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Vedas are original in Sanskrit so It will give you the most unbiased, unfiltered perspective and raw opinions.

Sanskrit shlokas and mantras helps to improve your pronunciation and sharpens your memory (The Sanskrit effect).

Almost all major schools of Indians philosophy have their literature in Sanskrit.

Sanskrit literature has a variety of Shastra (science) such as Rasayanshastra, Vastushastra, Shilpashastra etc. Some Sanskrit literature related to science like Charka Samhita, Sushrut Samhita which is related to Ayurveda and Leelavati related to mathematics are in Sanskrit. So It’s important to learn Sanskrit to understand them better.

Since Sanskrit is well connected with many regional languages, many organizations , companies, NGOs use Sanskrit name or moto. For e.g. नीती आयोग, मुद्रा Loan scheme, etc.

Hence Sanskrit is still very useful.
