Kalidas Vs Shakespeare

Sometime back I came across this phrase - Kalidas is the Shakespeare of India.. 

The immediate reaction was -
Isn't Shakespeare the Kalidas of England/Britain ?

Well.. Was our thinking too slaved by the Britishers?

    Yes exactly. I am also stunned with this comparison. Kalidasa is a great poet only next to Sri Valmiki.
