French scholar Romain Rolland said:

If there is
one place on the face of earth where all
the dreams of living men have found a home from

of existence, it is India.

Mark Twain said:

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
structive materials in the history of man are treasured
up in India only.

Albert Einstein said:

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