Great words for India by Will Durant!!!

Will Durant,

American historian,

(1885-1981): 

"India was the motherland of our race,

and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages;

she was the mother of our philosophy;

mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics;

mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy.

Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all".

“Perhaps in return for conquest, arrogance and spoliation, India will teach us

the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind,

the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul,

the calm of the understanding spirit,

and a unifying, a pacifying love for all living things.”
