A collection of quotes from others, about India – My Country.
It is a beautiful country, my country. Never has nature manifested herself with such splendor. Caressed, repudiated, and loved in turn, my country stands: lushly verdant, heartbreakingly arid, and awesomely majestic. Many-hued is my country, and many-hued are my people. Creamy white, honey skinned, ebony black, and golden brown are my people, and the earth is alive with echoes of their many moods. It echoes their gaiety, their sorrow, their anger, their restraint. Lush green vines with somber brown, awesome white towers above the rush of blue waters. It is a beautiful country, my country.
Saloni Narang, 1984
If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
Romain Rolland
If we were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power, and beauty that nature can bestow – in some parts a very paradise on earth – I should point to India. If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant – I should point to India.
Max Muller
To know and understand India one has to travel far in time and space, to forget for a while her present condition with all its misery and narrowness and horror, and to have glimpses of what she was and what she did.
Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India
