As Swami Vivekananda, a great Indian Philosopher rightly said,
"Civilizations have arisen in other parts of the world. In ancient and
modern times, wonderful ideas have been carried forward from one race to another...But
mark you, my friends, it has been always with the blast of war trumpets and the
march of embattled cohorts. Each idea had to be soaked in a deluge of
blood..... Each word of power had to be followed by the groans of millions, by
the wails of orphans, by the tears of widows. This, many other nations have
taught; but India for thousands of years peacefully existed. Here activity
prevailed when even Greece did not exist... Even earlier, when history has no
record, and tradition dares not peer into the gloom of that intense past, even
from until now, ideas after ideas have marched out from her, but every word has
been spoken with a blessing behind it and peace before it. We, of all nations
of the world, have never been a conquering race, and that blessing is on our
head, and therefore we live!"
Truly, India is Beautiful...
