“I moved here when I was 20 to go to college. After I moved here, I became much more aware of the importance of the culture and literature to my life. Sometimes when you're immersed in something, you just don't notice it very much. Moving away makes you appreciate your culture. Living here, I've thought more and more about India, and what being Indian-American means to me. And it's made me incorporate things from Indian literature into my own writing.” WritingMeanMadeSometimesMovingCultureLiteratureMy OwnCollegeAppreciateIndiaImportanceMovedIndianAmerican IndianMoving AwayAppreciate You Author:Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
“The theory of Reincarnation, which originated in India, has been welcomed in other countries. Without doubt, it is one of the most sensible and satisfying of all religions that mankind has conceived.

“It was an axiom of "containment" that no part of the known world could be considered neutral.

“My mother had been an English teacher in India before she came to the U.K., and she taught me to read early on - not only in English, but in Hindi, too.

“I'm not sure that Eastern culture does either, but I've never lived in India etc so I couldn't tell you. I can say we definitely don't. So people will sometimes come in contact with something strange and think, "Oh, it must be like this" and have a lot of fantasies about it, and somebody who sort of looks like our fantasy version of what enlightenment is can be very convincing in seeming like they've got something and then play that role.” PeopleThinkingLooksDoeI CanSometimesPlayCultureRolesFantasyStrangeEnlightenmentIndiaVersionsContactNot SureEtcEasternConvincingSeeming Author:Brad Warner

“When we read with attention the poetical and philosophical monuments of the East--above all, those of India, which are beginning to spread in Europe--we discover there many a truth, and truths so profound, and which make such a contrast with the meanness of the results at which European genius has sometimes stopped, that we are constrained to bend the knee before the philosophy of the East, and to see in this cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy.” HumansSometimesPhilosophyResultsRaceAttentionLandGeniusHighestEuropeIndiaPhilosophicalProfoundSpreadEastKneesHuman RaceNativeContrastMonumentCradleMeannessNative Land Book:Course of the History of Modern Philosophy Source: Course of the History of Modern Philosophy
