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 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.
Frech
scholar Romain
Rolland.
India conquered and dominated China culturally for

ENDLESS.
BUT, if we dont see even a glimpse of that great
India in the 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 evershining
and
inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of
the world to
follow.
I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare
of INDIA.
