Question

why Kalidas is known as Indian Shakespeare​

Answer 1

A well-known Sanskrit verse “Upama Kalidasya” praises his skill at 'upama' or similies. Kalidasa was acclaimed as 'Indian Shakespeare' who penned his masterpieces of plays, poems, epics, etc in Sanskrit. ... Kalidasa was probably a very cultured man, full of humor and buoyancy. He had high esteem for women.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:Kalidasa is called as India's Shakespeare. We hear this statement whenever people speak about Kalidasa. But logically speaking Kalidasa's period is 4-5th Century AD and Shakespeare's period is 1564 - 1616. Though Shakespeare is a great poet, many centuries before Kalidasa has written great plays, poems. If required let Britishers call Shakespeare as "British Kalidasa/England's Kalidasa". But Indian's will not accept this statement as it is wrong.

Note: If father and son has resemblence we say "You look like your father", we don't say his father that "you look like your son". Hope this is the proper statement which clears above statements.
