INTO INDIA is always finding new ways to promote India and build understanding of how to connect with this great country.
But, it has all been said before - and better than I could ever say it.
Two very famous westerners made powerful and personal statements about India, and I learnt from them both.
The great twentieth century western scientist, Albert Einstein, had this to say about India: "We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."
And the American great, Mark Twain, who gave the world so much in terms of easy-to-understand wisdom, said: "India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, grandmother of legend, and great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only."
What do you think?
