A 5000-year old civilization steeped in history; rich in discoveries, invention, science.
A nation of people whose daily lives are inspired by epic sagas of morality, valour and character.
An intellectual melting pot of the fittest minds across a multitude of castes, creeds, states, dialects, religions and ideologies.
Small wonder then that some of the most paradigm-breaking theories, impacting of ideas and enduring of sciences come from this land.
Or that one of the world's oldest civilizations is also the fastest growing economy of our times.
With every successive invasion, India has grown stronger and more resilient, enriched by the silt of confluence. With the Persians came the tempering philosophy of Zarathushtra. With the visits of intrepid travelers like Marco Polo on his spice trail, came the chronicling of a country's almanac of success. With the Dutch, French and Portuguese, came a world view.
With the Moghuls came splendid architecture, delectable cuisine and glory. With the British came the unifying tongue of English.
What began in the Indus Valley is today a burgeoning knowledge economy, filled with opportunity and promise. All it takes is for you to know that you are and always will be, a student for life. And the teacher will appear.
