Truly Incredible India !

The great scientist Albert Einstein once said "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been possible..."
Let me quote the words of the world famous English literary genius Mark Twain "India is the cradle of human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, the great grandmother of tradition..."
India is the land where culture echoes; tradition speaks; beauty enthralls; diversity delights..yes she is a timeless mystery ! A vivid kaleidoscope of landscapes, cultures, religions, history, people... "Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu"...let the entire universe live in everlasting happiness and peace..thousands of years ago, the only land where this unique mantra was chanted which reverberated all over the world? That was my India; our beloved India.
How amazing is her diversity! From the infinite and eternal snows of the Himalayas to the golden sands of Kanyakumari, from the arid desert expanses of the West to the deltas of the East, from the dryness of the central plates to the cool forest foothills...from the mighty Brahmaputra to the serene Periyar in the South.. This is the land blessed by great saints Jaina, Budha, Sri Sankara and Guru Nanak.
This is the land which was ruled by great emperors Asoka, Harsha and Akbar. This is the land where great writers Valmiki, Vyasa, Kalidasa, Aswagosha, Tulsidas and Kabirdas lived. Here only lived great scientists Aryabhatta, Varahamihira, Ramanujam, C V Raman and Vikram Sara Bhai.
This is the land which educated the world through its great universities Taxila and Nalandha. Yes this is the land which was liberated by Gandhiji by using a new weapon, Ahimsa. Ours is the only country in the world which accepted and imbibed the ethos of all great religions; the only country which said "Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam-the Entire Universe is One Family" For us the so-called modernists our world still remains as a global village! What a variety of festivals we have! Divali, Holi, Eid, Dasarrah, Christmas, Mahavir Jayanthi, Guru Pooja, Naga Panchami,Shivarathri..The beauty of Indian Culture lies in the spirit of tolerance. It can be compared to a garden of flowers of various colours and shades while maintaining their own entity. Let’s speak about the Modern India !
We are a rising super power, a force the world will have to reckon with. We are poised for a massive upturn in economic and social growth. It’s time for India to come out and say to the world: Look, I am strong in number of people, culture, economic strength and military strength with indigenous high-tech infrastructure and our supreme position in information technology sector. You five old good boys.open your eyes and say welcome to us...
Yes India is incredible and really unstoppable...!!
