Description
As you begin reading through this kaleidoscope of India, let us give you a briefing of how to make the best use of this book such that it succeeds in awakening the Indian in you to the India that is yours. Our interaction with you begins by giving you a close acquaintance with the icons of our nation.
Further, we take you through Indian architecture, science, entrepreneurship, management, sports, awards, arts, dance, music, musical instruments, education, medicine, religion, festivals, philosophy, literature, saints, and even champions of liberation. All this has intervals at various times. These consist of amazing facts about India, which will surely prove to be an eye-opener.
It is surely beyond the scope of this book, and perhaps any other book, to encompass India in its entirety. However, what we intend doing through the publication of this book, is to make young Indians understand the greatness of our country and inspire them to explore it further with a greater insight.
And we hope that this lively and youth-oriented presentation will give you a truly interesting and awakening experience by the time you reach the last page!
REVIEWS
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
-Albert Einstein, Scientist
Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I read it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night.
-Thoreau-American Thinker
