5. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans.
6. Although western media portray modern images of India as poverty striken and underdeveloped through political corruption, India was once the richest empire on earth.

7. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 5000 years ago. The very word 'Navigation' is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH.
8. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now k! nown as the Pythagorean Theorem. British scholars have last year (1999) officially published that Budhayan's works dates to the 6 th Century which is long before the European mathematicians.

Quotes about India .

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
Albert Einstein.

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.
Mark Twain.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India .
French scholar Romain Rolland.

India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.
Hu Shih

(former Chinese ambassador to USA )

ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS.
BUT, if we don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an evershining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow.
I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA .

Of course we are proud to be Indian. We have a culture and great history.There are more brain in India than most of any other country. Yet we have to go a long way. 65% of our people are illiterate.More than 60% or them are living below poverty.The nation is gripped by corruption,nepotism, social injustice even untouchability, casteism, relegionst chauvinism,ruled by the rich people,corrupt beaurocrats, opportunist politicians,goondas,mafias and extremists. Yet we are progressing, Ramu is happy with his Dal and Roti and a piece of jaggery.He toils in the feild or shop or office or any such place from sunrise to sunset and sleep dreaming about a glorious future and India. He dream about Bapu's true India, Ram's Ram Rajya and make a weak smile.Yes, he is happy to be an Indian.Jai Hind.

Really great post. I would also ask my dear friend to add the first Pravachan Swami Vivakand had given in America, on the conference of the World Religion. He was given only three minutes on the first day and the truth in his words put the people so amazingly in trance, that next day onwards he was given more time than all the other speakers due to public demand and thereafter within a short period he made the entire world aware of our India. He was the first person to go for telling the truth of the Indian Religion to the world.

i happen to read this blog when an indian won the first indian invidual athelete Gold in Olympics history.

Said and done the standard of Indian living leaves a lot to be desired. Barring exceptional individuals India still has to become wealthy country where all its citizens leave a healthy life.
