- In Praise of India: Top 10 Famous Quotations -
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, through the Arabs, 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".
Mark Twain [American author] - "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 instructive materials in the history of man are treasured
up in India only."
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."
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.
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."
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."
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."
Keith Bellows [VP - National Geographic Society] - "There are
some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won't
go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by
the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by
its
ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its
colors, smells, tastes, and sounds... I had been seeing the world in black
& white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced
everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor."
Mark Twain - "India has two million gods, and worships them all.
In religion all other countries are paupers; India is the only
millionaire."
A Rough Guide to India - "It is impossible not to be astonished
by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying,
creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Enriched by
successive waves of migration and marauders from distant lands, every one
of
them left an indelible imprint which was absorbed into the Indian way of
life. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated
scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that
overshadow it. It is this variety which provides a breathtaking ensemble
for
experiences that is uniquely Indian. Perhaps the only thing more difficult
than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India
completely. There are perhaps very few nations in the world with the
enormous variety that India has to offer. Modern day India represents the
largest democracy in the world with a seamless picture of unity in
diversity
