Wisdom is the jewellery, language is just the case

The biggest stupidity of Indians is that we consider language skills equal to intelligence, and sometimes more than intelligence.

To me, ideas and wisdom are more important than language. That is why people do PhDs on Kabir Das and Surdas, but not on Panini — the ancient grammarian and linguist of Sanskrit. Most of you may not have even heard of him, yet you all know Kabir and Surdas.

Wisdom and intellect are the jewellery; language is just the beautiful case that presents it in order. 

Kabir and Surdas are popular even though they used imperfect language - because the jewellery was real.

And this is one of the reasons why our students can't learn English properly. Deep down, they are afraid of being mocked, and they dare not speak or write.
