“In religion and culture, India is

the only millionaire! There is onlyone India, the land of dreamsand romance. The one land allmen desire to see, and havingseen once, by even a glimpse,would not give that glimpse forthe shows of all the rest of the globe combined. India is thecradle of the human race, thebirthplace of human speech, themother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition.Our most valuable and mostinstructive materials in the

history of man are treasured upin India only .”

-Mark Twain
