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

India is,the cradle of the human race,the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history,the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition.Our most valuable and

most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.
