Grammatical doubt

Dear Sir/ Madan, PAST PERFECT TENSE indicates an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in thepast before something else happened. Sir, but back in India past perfect tense is used as single sentence

eg. I had completed that project

I had studied that portion

Can we use past perfect sentence as above

Thanks in advance sir.....

Maybe it's a peculiarity of Indian English? - I was studying Modern Greek with Duolinguo, and the translations came as past perfect instead of present perfect!! Aha!
