We Indians, sometimes do not believe in the greatness of our country regarding culture, science, diplomacy, human relations, and other things, and what achievements have been done by Indians in these fields. Here are some observations made by eminent foreigners on India.
1 Albert Einstein (Famous scientist)- We are indebted to India because if India had not shown how to count, there would not be any worthwhile scientific discoveries.
2 Roma Rolon (France)- Whatever dreams mankind had seen from the ancient days, you can full fill them in India.
3 Hu Shi (Chinese Ambassador to the USA)- For ages without sending a soldier to the border, India won China’s heart with the cultural field, and impressed it.
4 Max Muller ( German Philologist)- If someone asks me, under the sky a human mind with several talents is only developed in India. In India, the analysis of life’s complex problems is there, and the solution is suggested.
5 Mark Twain (American Writer)- In the history of mankind, the priceless and creative material store is only in India.
6 Arthur Schopenhauer ( German Philosopher)- There is no study in the world that is beneficial to mankind other than the study of Indian Upanishads. This gives peace to my life and will also give me peace at the time of my death.
7 Henry David Thoreau (American Naturalist)- Every morning, I train my brain and my wisdom by reading Bhagwat Geeta. In comparison to Bhagwat Geeta, the modern world and its literature look minuscule.
8 Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Essayist)- I am indebted to Bhagwat Geeta. This is one book, after reading it you get the impression that you are in dialogue with a giant power.
9 Wilhelm Von Humboldt ( Prussian Philospher)- Bhagwat Geeta is a beautiful and possibly the first book which is truly philosophical, and this kind of book is not there in any other religion. This is one such book of which the full world can be proud.
10 Annie Besant (British Scholar)- After studying various religions of the world for more than 40 years. I have come to the conclusion that there is no religion like Hinduism which is full of science, philosophy, and spirituality.
Here are some quotes, which I have read and want to share with you all. All these quotes are attributed to the people from the Red Light area.
- We sell here only body, if you want to buy integrity please go to next bus stop where POLICE STATION is located.
- If you want there should be no one to question your dictatorship, then you must become JUDGE of some court, in India.
- If you want, you go on saying lies and not be punished, then you should become a LAWYER.
- If a woman wants to sell her body but no one calls her a prostitute, then she should become FILM ACTRESS.
- If you want to loot everybody, but no one calls you a dacoit then you must become a POLITICAL LEADER.
- If you want to enjoy every happiness of the world like eating non-veg, drinking liquor, having relations with many women, and nobody tells you the bad guy, then you should become Religious Leader or DHARAM GURU.
- If you want to malign anybody, and nobody files a legal suit against you, then you should become a MEDIA REPORTER.
This way no one can touch you. For doing dirty/illegal work there is always a legalized post that you can occupy.
