“Cows in India occupy the same position in society as women did in England before they got the vote. Woman was revered but not encouraged. Her life was one long obstacle race owing to the anxiety of man to put pedestals at her feet. While she was falling over the pedestals she was soothingly told that she must occupy a Place Apart - and indeed, so far Apart did her place prove to be that it was practically out of earshot. The cow in India finds her position equally lofty and tiresome. You practically never see a happy cow in India.” MenLongFallRaceFeetPositionProveAnxietyVoteIndiaEnglandObstaclesCowsLoftyPedestalOwingTiresome Author:Stella Benson

“Now I don't have to explain to the world about India's position. The world is unanimously appreciating India's position. And the world is seeing that Pakistan is finding it difficult to respond. If we had become an obstacle, then we would have had to explain to the world that we are not that obstacle. Now we don't have to explain to the world. The world knows our intentions. Like on the issue of terrorism, the world never bought India's theory on terrorism. They would sometime dismiss it by saying that it's your law and order problem.” IfsKnowsWorldProblemLawOrderDifficultIssuesSeeingPositionTheoryFindingsAppreciateIndiaIntentionObstaclesTerrorismPakistanLaw And Order Author:Narendra Modi
“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.” MenFirstsWellsMeanTwoImportantIdeasRememberValuesSimpleNumbersEducationPositionGeniusTenAchievementAppreciateIndiaAbsolutesMathematicsMethodProfoundSimplicityAppreciationMathInventionSymbolsMathematicalEaseMeritReceivingGrandeurAntiquityIngeniousArithmeticComputationNumbers And MathGreatest ManGreat Math Author:Pierre-Simon Laplace
“I think the Greeks first took astrology to India and took from the Hindus the science of astronomy and carried it back with them from Europe. Because in India you will find old altars made according to a certain geometrical plan, and certain things had to be done when the stars were in certain positions, therefore I think the Greeks gave the Hindus astrology, and the Hindus gave them astronomy.” ThinkingFirstsMadeDoneCertainStarsPlansPositionEuropeIndiaAstronomyGreekAstrologyAltars Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
