IIT = Harvard + MIT + PrincetonIIT = Harvard + MIT + Princeton , says CBS 60 Minutes.
CBS' highly-regarded 60 Minutes, the most widely watched news programme in the US, told its
audience of more than 10 Million viewers that IIT may be the most important universityyou've never heard of."
"The United States imports oil from Saudi Arabia, cars from Japan,TVs from Korea and
Whiskey fromS
cotland. So what do we import from India?W
e import people, really smartpeople," co-host Leslie Stahl began while introducing the segment on IIT.
the smartest, the most successful, most influential Indians who've migrated to the US seem toshare a common credential: They are graduates of the IIT.
in science and technology, IIT undergraduates leave their American counterparts in the dust.
Think about that for a minute: A kid from India using an Ivy League university as a safetyschool. That's how smart these guys are.
There are cases where students who couldn't get into computer science at IIT, they have gottenscholarships at MIT, at Princeton, at Caltech.

Gandhi was once asked what he thought about Western Civilization. Hisresponse was: "I think it would be a good idea.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its
animals are treated.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of theocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
The only devils in this world are those running around inside our own hearts, and
that is where all our battles should be fought.
If all Christians acted like Christ, the whole world would be Christian.
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she
does not realize what tremendous advantage she has over man.

India
India never invaded any country in her
last 10,000 years of history.
It is the only society in the worldwhich has never known slavery.
India was the richest country on Earth until thetime of the British in the early 17th Century
Robert Clives personal wealth amassed from the blunder ofBengal during 1750s was estimated at around 401,102
It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British lootedfrom India had already reached 1,000,000,000 (1Billion) by 1901.
Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation this would be worth closeto $1,000,000,000,000 ($1Trillion) in real-terms today.

"Man must have an original cradle land whence the peopling of
the earth was brought about by migration.As to mans cradle land, there have been many theories but the
weight of evidence is in favour of Indo-Malaysia.
"If there is a country on earth which can justly claim the honour of having been the
cradle of the Human race or at least the scene of primitive civilization, thesuccessive developments of which carried into all parts of the ancient world and evenbeyond, the blessings of knowledge which is the second life of man, that country is
assuredly India.

Ex-Prime Minister,
Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee
A treaty was signed on 6 January, 2004, establishing a South Asian FreeTrade Area among the seven SAARC countries (India, Pakistan,Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Maldives) in the region.
India committed to a South Asian Union as the ultimate objective, with
mutual security cooperation, open borders and a single currency inSouthern Asia in the long run.
"The bonds of ethnicity and culture which hold together the peoples of this region aremore enduring than the barriers of political prejudice that have been erected quite
recently..Friends, India is ready to do everything that is necessary, to walk as many extra
miles as may be required, to make this vision a reality.

Dr Abdul Kalam, President of India,father of Indias space, missile and satellite programme and author of
India 2020 Vision.
I have three visions for India.
1. In 3000 years of our history people from all over the world have come and invaded us,captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards. The Greeks, the Turks,the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted
us, took over what was ours.
Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have notgrabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.
Why?
Because we respect the freedom of others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM.I believe that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we started the war of
independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are notfree, no one will respect us.
2.
My second vision for India is DEVELOPMENT. For fifty years we have been a developingnation. It is time we see ourselves as a developed nation. We are among top 5 nations of theworld in terms of GDP. We have 10% growth rate in most areas. Our poverty levels are
falling. Our achievements are being globally recognized today. Yet we lack the self-confidence to see ourselves as
a developed nation, self-reliant and self-assured.
3.
I have a THIRD vision. India must stand up to the world. Because I believe that unlessIndia stands up to the world, no one will respect us. Only strength respects strength. We
must be strong not only as a military power but also as an economic power. Both must go
hand-in-hand.

Science ofYoga
The science of yoga was born in an age when mankind as a whole was more
enlightened, and could easily grasp truths for which our most advanced thinkers
are still grasping.
The science of yoga meditation had been taught by the ancient, sages,
gurus, yogis, through oral tradition for thousands of years, they werefinally put to Sanskrit by Patanjali in 500 b.c.
It is because the groping for these truths has begun again that great yogis have
reintroduced this ancient science to humanity at large.
Pre-eminent among them, even today, are the sages of the Himalayas.
Today, the word yoga is much used and much misunderstood these days,reduced from its knowledge on the control of the conscious to that of
the control of the body.

I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted andthe refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth.
I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest

I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is stillfostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation.
I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which Iremember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every dayrepeated by millions of human beings: As the different streams having

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the

The only devils in this world are those running around inside our own hearts, and

India never invaded any country in herlast 10,000 years of history.
It is the only society in the worldwhich has never known slavery.
India was the richest country on Earth until the
time of the British in the early 17th Century
Robert Clives personal wealth amassed from the blunder ofBengal during 1750s was estimated at around 401,102
It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British lootedfrom India had already reached 1,000,000,000 (1Billion) by 1901.
Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation this would be worth closeto $1,000,000,000,000 ($1Trillion) in real-terms today.
