Quotes About India !!!
* Swami Vivekanand (Indian Philosopher) :
"Civilizations have arisen in other parts of the world.
In ancient and modern times, wonderful ideas have been
carried forward from one race to another...But mark you,
my friends, it has been always with the blast of war
trumpets and the march of embattled cohorts. Each idea
had to be soaked in a deluge of blood..... Each word of
power had to be followed by the groans of millions, by
the wails of orphans, by the tears of widows. This, many
other nations have taught; but India for thousands of
years peacefully existed. Here activity prevailed when
even Greece did not exist... Even earlier, when history
has no record, and tradition dares not peer into the
gloom of that intense past, even from until now, ideas
after ideas have marched out from her, but every word has
been spoken with a blessing behind it and peace before
it. We, of all nations of the world, have never been a
conquering race, and that blessing is on our head, and
therefore we live....!"
* Albert Einstein :
"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count,
without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could
have been made!"
* Mark Twain :
"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. Our most
valuable and most astrictive materials in the history of
man are treasured up in India only!"
* Romaine Rolland (French scholar) :
"If there is one place on the face of earth where all the
dreams of living men have found a home from the very
earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it
is India!"
* Mark Twain :
"So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left
undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most
extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds.
Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing
overlooked."
* Sylvia Levi :
"She (India) has left indelible imprints on one fourth of
the human race in the course of a long succession of
centuries. She has the right to reclaim ... her place
amongst the great nations summarizing and symbolizing the
spirit of humanity. From Persia to the Chinese sea, from
the icy regions of Siberia to Islands of Java and Borneo,
India has propagated her beliefs, her tales, and her
civilization!"
* Hu Shih (former Ambassador of China to USA) :
"India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20
centuries without ever having to send a single soldier
across her border!"
