invaded any foreign country

“India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without even having to send a single soldier across her border”.- HU SHIH, Former Ambassador of China to USA

without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have

been made.”

-ALBERT EINSTEIN

“If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that

nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth - I should point to India. If I were to asked under what sky the human mind

has most fully developed the choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solution of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who

have studied Plato and Kant - I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we here in Europe, we who have

been nurtured almost exclusively on the thought of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that

corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured

and eternal life -- again I should point to India”. -MAX MULLER

BHARAT MAHAN!


“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 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”. -WILL

DURANT

BHARAT MAHAN!


“Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light

illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of the sectarianism. It is of ages, climes, and nationalities and is the

royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I am at it, I feel that I am

under the spangled heavens of a summer night”.

-HENRY DAVID THOREAU

BHARAT MAHAN!

BHARAT MAHAN! : Science & Technology


Budhayana first calculated the value of pi, and he explained the concept of what is known as the

Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematicians.

Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Sridharacharya propounded quadratic equations

in the 11th century.



The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 1053 with specific names as early as 5000 BCE during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest

used number is Peta: 1015.

The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC.

Sushruta is the father of surgery, 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like

cesareans, cataracts, artificial legs, fractures, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical equipment was used. Deep knowledge of

anatomy, physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism, genetics and immunity

is also found in many texts.



Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of medicine

consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Yoga and Ayurveda are fast regaining its rightful place in

our civilization.

The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra. According to Saka King

Rudradaman I of 150 CE a beautiful lake aptly called ‘Sudarshana’ was constructed on the hills of Raivataka

during Chandragupta Maurya’s time.



Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala

• Socialism as practiced in India has been a fraud: Our brand of socialism did not result in transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor but only from the honest rich to the dishonest rich

• The sleeping sickness of socialism is now universally acknowledged – but not officially in India… The public sector enterprises are the black holes, the money guzzlers and they have been extracting and exorbitant price for India’s doctrinaire socialism.



• A law suite once started in India is the nearest thing to

eternal life ever seen on this earth….

• History will record that the greatest mistake of the

India Republic in the first 50 years of its existence was

to make less investment in human resources-education,

family planning, nutrition and public health-than in

brick and motor dams and factories.



• Over taxation corrupted the national character overtly. The nation survived only because the tax system continued to breathe through loopholes and the economy used to breath through window of tax evasion.

• We have too much Government and too little administration; too many laws and too little justice; too many public servants and too little public service, too many controls and too little welfare.


• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift

• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich

• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money

• You cannot keep out trouble by spending more than you earn

• You cannot build character and courage

by taking away man’s initiative and Independence

• You cannot help men permanently by doing for them

what they can do for themselves -Abraham Lincoln


Finally

• Be the most accomplished students, all employable, enlightened, ignited

• Read and know your true history how Bharat resisted and eventually triumphed over aliens

• Samskrit, Dharma and Bharatiyata and our samskriti bind us together. Religion and language don’t bind as much as culture does.
