August 15
Where the mind is without fear and the head is
held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic
walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake. Rabindranath Tagore Gitanjali
Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now
the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke
of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake
to life and freedom. Jawaharlal Nehru On the eve of independence, August 15 1947.

without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have
been made! Albert Einstein

dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest
days when man began the dream of existence, it is India! Romaine Rolland, French scholar
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 astrictive materials in the history of man are treasured
up in India only! Mark Twain
She (India) has left indelible imprints on one fourth of
the human race in the course of a long succession of centuries.

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! Sylvia Levi
India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries
without ever having to send a single soldier across her border! Hu Shih, former Ambassador of China to USA

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. Max Mueller, German scholar
This is indeed India! The land of dreams and romance, of
fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags,
of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and
giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra
and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred
tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle
of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history,
grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose
yesterday's bear date with the modering antiquities for the
rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed
with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant,
for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond
and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having
seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for
the shows of all the rest of the world combined. Mark Twain
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God
created this universe everything else seems so superfluous. Albert Einstein
India - The land of Vedas, the remarkable works contain

airship, all were known to the seers who founded the Vedas. Wheeler Wilcox, American poet
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. Will Durant, American historian
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. Mark Twain
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. Keith Bellows, VP - National Geographic Society
India has two million gods, and worships them all. In religion
all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire. Mark Twain
