The photo went viral and desi netizens shared how proud they felt.

It's pleasant and painful at the same time…

When will India honour Upanishadic philosophy/ wisdom and teach it in schools?

It's the most profound wisdom and gives meaning to life. https://t.co/CEiCrQF4Sf

Isn't it a shame that Poland learning Upanishads, while India doesn't respect its own language, Sanskrit? Or are we still waiting for the Anglo-world approval? https://t.co/Ksvhh7kJig

Is there anything like this etched & displayed proudly by Indians in India to build an ordinary institution meant for academics?

How many laws should be crossed to build this type of library & how many NGOs have to petition to block ? https://t.co/7lCdK8xVkL

Why have they decorated the wall that way, do they understand the meaning. Can you inform people about teachings of Vedas & Sanskrit in that university, what do they refer during such teachings, does the teaching reflects the true ethos of Vedas or derived westernized version
