'' India ..... the land of dreams and romance, of fabulous
wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of
palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii
and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants,
the cobra and the jungle, the country of a hundred nations
and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two
million Gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of
human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend,
great-grandmother of tradition, whose yesterdays bear
date with the mouldering antiquities of the rest of the
nations - the sole country under the sun that is endowed
with imperishable interest for alien prince and alien
peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and
poor, bond and free, the one land all men desire to see,
and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give
that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the globe
combined.''
------ Mark Twain, U.S. philosopher, on a visit to India
towards the end of nineteenth century.
I quote, verdict is yours.
Rohit Zaveri.
