Quotes abt 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 and 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. - French scholar Romain Rolland.
India conquered and 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 Ice Berg, the List is endless. But if we don’t see even the glimpse of that great India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential and that if we do we could once again be an ever shining and inspiring country setting a bright path for the rest of the world to follow. I hope u enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of India.
