“Why does Alexander the Great never tell us about the exact location of his tomb, Fermat about his Last Theorem, John Wilkes Booth about the Lincoln assassination conspiracy, Hermann Göring about the Reichstag fire? Why don’t Sophocles, Democritus, and Aristarchus dictate their lost books?”

“India is a highly civilized nation - a nation which developed a rich culture much earlier than any nation of Europe, and has never lost it.
India was the first and only nation that proved too powerful for Alexander the Great. It was India that stopped his advance and compelled him to turn back in his career of world conquest.
India gave to the world two out of six of its greatest Historic religions.
Of the six greatest Epic Poems of the world India produced two. India gave to mankind - Kalidasa.
India contributed enormously to the origin and advancement of Civilization by giving to the world its immensely important decimal system, which is the foundation of modern mathematics and much modern science.
India early created the beginning of nearly all of the sciences, some of which she carried forward to remarkable degrees of development, thus leading the world. India has produced great literature, great arts, great philosophical systems, great religions, and great men in every department of life - rulers, statesmen, financiers, scholars, poets, generals, colonizers, ship-builders, skilled artisans and craftsmen of every kind, agriculturists, industrial organizers and leaders in far-reaching trade and commerce by land and sea.
For 2,500 years India was pre-eminently the intellectual and spiritual teacher of Asia, which means of half the human race.”
