Though English has been practiced as the major mode of putting up science facts in front of world community, various regional and native languages and ancient study of science in their respective cultures has made a great impact on the way of acceptance of modern age science facts in the mass mentality of those regions. Our paper will eloberate How Indian cultures had kept it well ahead of others in the field of science in ancient era. Old Indian records of astronautical study put great impact on modern space efforts in the subcontinent. As culture unfolds itself in many parts of Asia,exchange of scientific literature amongst them is obvious and at times shows its signs in different studies and their resemblance with each other. This presentation is to address about the available space literature, terms and their meanings in Sanskrit and other Indian languages and to correlate them with what we study in modern science and to resolve the anticipated ambiguity of old science in standardized pathway. This will definitllyn open the doors of anceint Indian scientific knowledge scripted in Sanskrit and other Indian Langauge The anceint Indian scinrific knowlwdgw is available mainly in Sanskrit Language, in the form of verse and poems. The deep study of these literature will gives the evidences of many modern science and technology that is known (at least theorotically) at that time.
