Inaccurate title. This isn't about Sanskrit, it's about certain schools of pre-modern Indian linguistics (which are very interesting and worthy subjects). Sanskrit is a beautiful language with an incredible literary canon, but there's nothing special about it that makes it stand apart from any other human language. Any other old Indo-European language possesses the same properties. Regrettably, Hindutva activists and their Western sycophants talk it up.
