HOW MOTHER INDIA SURVIVED WITH HER GLORY, EVEN AFTER LONG YEARS OF SUPPRESSION BY THE FORIEGNERS..
Our motherland, Bharath, could survive on this globe earth with all her cultural glory for more than ten thousand years!
This is because; Indian thoughts are scientific, rational, unbiased, and universally true, on
their basic and applied level. They were valuable in ancient times and are valuable in modern times too. We call them chira purathanam – older than the oldest and nitya noothanam – ever novel in vision and application. Hence our culture – Dharma is Sanathanam in nature. These cultural thoughts and practices are adoptable for anyone in any country at anytime with any social – linguistic – religious background. This is
why our motherland could preserve her glorious heritage even after 1350 years of foreign invasion and suppression.

Indians were the only people who had to pay religious taxes jaziya to foreign rulers for more than 300 years for living as Hindus in their own country.
Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Babylonian…civilizations got wiped out many centuries ago and Chinese civilization is reaching almost to a final breathing stage. In India, the ancient literature, scientific and spiritual thoughts, customs and rituals, approaches and visions did not degrade or decay hitherto. It is surviving, spreading, and conquering even the ultra modern scientific mind of the developed world. This is because they are scientific and do have merits and values.

WHAT WAS REALLY LOOTED FROM OUR NATION?? ITS MUCH MORE THAN WEALTH, IT WAS OUR TRADITION AND HERITAGE, OUR IMMENSE KNOWLEDGE, OUR HOLY SCRIPTURES,,
The world is looking to India for novel and ancient ideas as an alternative pathway through
integration of spiritual sciences and physical sciences as mentioned in Upanishads. Seeing the response from all over the world, particularly from the developed countries, we started knowing that we know nothing about our heritage! What was informed us, for the last five and a half decade is that every Indian thought is superstition and useless! The developed countries are proving that Indian Heritage knowledge is scientific and useful. At least from now on we should start learning our own heritage. We have only one method for that: learn it by ourselves and teach others,

We remind you, it is your duty, responsibility, and privilege to hand over the flame in the lamp received from our forefathers to the next generation. Hope you will be with this
mission! It is your, mine and our mission to protect our MOTHERLAND, OUR PRIDE, OUR WORLD....
mission! It is your, mine and our mission to protect our MOTHERLAND, OUR PRIDE, OUR WORLD....
WHAT SHOULD WE LEARN AND KNOW?? WHAT SHOULD WE TEACH AND LET OTHERS KNOW??
We, Indians do not know about the Scientific Heritage of our motherland. Till August 15, 1947 the foreign invaders destroyed part of our heritage. After August 15, 1947 we ourselves destroyed the glorious heritage of our nation. For the last five decades and a half of independence, we have not learned anything about our motherland. It is too late! Still, we have to learn systematically, the knowledge existed in India for many millennia. World over the scholars, scientists and technologists are learning, researching and patenting these Indian knowledge. We should at least know all that theoretical, applied
scientific and cultural knowledge existed in India.
Learning and teaching our heritage in the true spirit of scientific vision and patriotic mission.

A WORD FROM OUR EX-PRESIDENT..
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam
Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam
You must proclaim...
India is not an under-developed country, it is indeed a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
YOU say that ...
Our government is inefficient.
Our laws are too old.
The municipality does not pick up the garbage.
The phones don't work.
The railways are a joke.
The airline is the worst in the world
Mails never reach their destination.
Our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say.

What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore.
Give him a name? - YOURS.
Give him a face? - YOURS.
YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best.
In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores.
YOU are as proud of their Underground Links as they are.
You pay $5 (approx. Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder
Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM.
YOU comeback to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over-stayed, in a restaurant or shopping mall irrespective of your status identity. In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai.
YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at £10 (Rs.650) a month to, "see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else."
YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop,"Jaanta hai main kaun hoon? (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost."
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?
Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston?????
We are still talking of the same YOU.

YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground.If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal Commissioner of Bombay, Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. "Rich people’s dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place," he said. "And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?” He's right. We go to the polls to choose a
government and after that forfeit all responsibility.

We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms. We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to
pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? "It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my son's rights to a dowry."

So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their
glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, this is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's
conscience too…
conscience too…
I am echoing J.F. Kennedy's words to his fellow American to relate to Indians?
"ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY"
Let's do what India needs from us.
Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.
Thank You,
