Many take it from net aligning with the west who preferred them from here,
remaining undisclosed; but had they applied their minds, the vastness of
the knowledge is next to your chair. so be it as under:
Mark Twain on Religion: American thinker/author.
"India has two million Gods, and worships them all. In religion all other
countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire."
*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-grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive
materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only."
*P. Johnstone*: "Gravitation was known to the Hindus (Indians) before the
birth of Newton. The system of blood circulation was discovered by them
centuries before Harvey was heard of." *Will Durant, American
historian: *"India
was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit, the mother of Europe's
languages: She was the mother of our philosophy; mother, of much of our
mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in
Christianity; mother, through the Village Community, of Self-government and
Democracy. MOTHER INDIA is in many ways the mother of us all".
*Albert Einstein, American scientist:*" We owe a lot to the Indians, who
taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery
could have been made."
*B.G. Rele:* "Our present knowledge of the nervous system fits in so
accurately with the internal description of the human body given in the
Vedas (5000 years ago). Then the question arises whether the Vedas are
really religious books or books on anatomy of the nervous system and
medicine." ('The Vedic Gods') *Max Mueller, German scholar:* "If I were
asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its
choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life,
and has found solutions, I should point to India. *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!" W. Heisenberg, German Physicist:
"After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of
Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy, suddenly made much more sense."
*Will Durant on India:* "It is true that even across the Himalayan
barrier, India has sent to the west, such gifts as grammar and logic,
philosophy and fables, hypnotism and chess, and above, all numerals and the
decimal system."
*Romain 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."
*Sir W. Hunter, British Surgeon:* "The surgery of the ancient Indian
physicians was bold and skilful. A special branch of surgery was dedicated
to rhinoplasty or operations for improving deformed ears, noses and forming
new ones, which European surgeons have now borrowed."
* William James, American Author:* "From the Vedas, we learn a practical
art of surgery, medicine, music, house building under which mechanized art
is included. They are an encyclopedia of every aspect of life, culture,
religion, science, ethics, law, cosmology and meteorology."
*Important Note: What prompted me to include the above is our deeply
ingrained habit of denigrating anything ‘Indian’. We believe only when some
foreigner says something good about our country. Likewise, we have such
beautiful sights in our own country but we run to foreign lands be it
holidays or weddings.*
*If not earlier, time has come that we should take pride in our country
instead of praising everything ‘Foreign’.*
*KR IRS 1 10 23*
