Quotes about India
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
-- Albert Einstein.
India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend & the great grand mother of tradition.
-- Mark Twain.
If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
-- Frech scholar Romain Rolland.
India conquered & dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.
-- Hu Shih. (Former Chinese ambassador to USA)
ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS.
BUT, if we don't see even a glimpse of tht great India in the India tht we see today, it clearly means tht we are not working up to our potential; & tht if we do, we could once again be an ever shining & inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow.
Say proudly, I AM AN INDIAN.
