• The Indian literature provides us the corrective, which is most wanted in order to make the  European inner life  more perfect,  more comprehensive, more universal and more truly human. (Maxmuller.)  

• India of the village communities has always been the TRUE INDIA of the Indians.  

• Those who care for Geography, there is work for them from the Himalayas to the Ceylon.  

• Those who are fond of Botany, there is enough for them enough rich flora in India.  

• To those who specialise in Geology, for them there is enough for them in the Indian forests, Indian lakes and   rivers,  and  seas around India, almost a treasure of knowledge.  

• To those who are interested in ethnology, India is like a living ethnological Museum.  

• To those who are fond of Archaeology, Gen Cunningham's "Annual Reports of the Archaeological Survey of  India;" will   provide a mine of material.

• Those who care for the Numismatics, the soil of India teems with the coins of he Persians, Thracian, Parthian, Greece, Macedonian, Scythian, Roman and Mohammadan origin besides the ancient Indian dynasties and the  European powers of the modern times.  

• The commercial inter- course between India the Persia gulf, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean was never completely interrupted. The references abound in the Holy bible to this effect illustrating the commercial and cultural contacts. Thus words such as IVORY, APES, PEACOCKS, SANDALWOOD etc, are traceable.  

• To those who are interested in the study of languages, for them India provides an opportunity to understand the problems of that science, with regard not only the origin of words and even grammatical elements.  

• For a student of Jurisprudence, India offers an entire history of law to be explored, very different from what is known of the history of law in Greece, in Rome and in Germany. New materials are being discovered every year. The lowest date for the laws of MANU is fixed as 500B.C.

• India alone can provide information regarding the TRUE ORIGIN OF RELIGION, its natural growth, and its inevitable decay. India is he home of Brahmins, of Buddhism and Jainism .It was also the refuge of Zorashtrianism, of the Jews and mother of many new superstitions. With the ancient inhabitants of India, Religion was one of the many interests, yet it was an all-absorbing interest, embracing not only worship and prayer, but what we call, philosophy, morality, law and government. Thus their whole life to them was a religion. Every thing else was, as it were a mere concession made to the ephemeral requirements of this life.

• India is the rich classical literature. It will open before you large rich layers of literature, as yet about unknown and unexplored, and allow an insight in to strata's deeper than you have known before. These are rich in lessons, appealing to the deepest sympathies of the human heart.

• Believe it or not some of the most interesting and instructive and valuable materials in the history of mankind are treasure up in India and India only. (Maxmuller.)

• Aryans of India excelled as the ORIGINATORS and framers

a) Of that most wonderful language SANSKRIT,  
b) Of that most natural religion THE VEDIC RELIGION,  
c) Of a most transparent MYTHOLOGY, through her legends Mahabharat and Ramayan.  
d) Of that most subtle PHILOSOPHY found in the UPANISHADS.  
e) Of an elaborate system of LAWS through SHASTRAS and SUTRAS literature.

• According to MAXMULLER, (who taught Sanskrit and introduced Swami Vivekananda to the British audiences during the visit of Vivekananda and his public speeches in Britain,) " All that is valued most in Europe, has come from the 'East'." French call it 'OTIENTE,' "that is to find his east, to know the past, whence the man has started, the course he has followed, and the port towards which he has to steer." 

• India was the nurse of SCIENCE. Rig-Veda contains the early origins of all almost most of modern branches of scientific knowledge.

• India was also the HOME of useful and delightful ARTS. These are defined as the 'sixty-four Fine Arts," taught and specialised by the children of the Princely families. These exclude innumerable folk arts and domestic and rural crafts.

• India was the Theatre and scene of many glorious actions, which were eulogised by even by the British and Western writers. Thus from the days of The enlightened Buddha down to the western educated Mahatma Gandhi, the lives of many persons of the Indian soil inspired and attracted the attention of many inclusive of the followers of Rajineesh, Mahesh yogi etc.

• India has been a fertile land in the production of Human geniuses-- inclusive of the men and women who work as NRI'S in the west as SKILLED and TRUST WORTHY PROFESSIONALS.

• India is diversified infinitely in forms of her religions, Governments (states and the union,) Laws, manners, Customs, Languages as well as in the physical features and colours of her people

• VILLAGE COMMUNITIES: Despite several foreign invasions, change of governments, the social and the political unit in India has always been the 'Village community.' Occasionally the villages combine for common purposes. To the ordinary Hindu, (In 99% of the cases,) the village is his world. The sphere of public opinion with its beneficial influence on individuals seldom extends beyond the horizon of his village.

• There was no severe struggle for life in India. Climate has been mild, the soil fertile, and vegetable diet in small quantities kept the body in health and strength of people especially who mattered in the governance of the country and in particular leaders of those who influenced the spiritual and cultural lives of the people at large. The simplest hut or a cave in the forest was all that mattered as shelter. Contentment in general characterised the lives of the people in ruralareas. The social life never assumed the gigantic and monstrous proportions of a LONDON or PARIS but FULFILLED itself within the narrow boundaries of village communities.  

• India laid the early foundations of astronomy, for the regulation of TIME, and her civilian and religious calendar was governed by the by the movements of SUN and MOON.

• Ancient India also originated Metronomy, Grammar, and etymology.

•  Indians were the earliest to give intimations of PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHTS, which still remain refreshing and attracting the attention of scholars inclusive of the scientists to day.  

• Indians were the first to regulate in a systematic manner, the family life, village life, and state life based on principles of tradition, ceremony, and contract-all grounded in religion- which remain in spirit, though not in letter- adapting to the modern needs.  

• The INDIAN VIEW OF LIFE is well known for its other worldliness. Both the Brahmins and the Buddhists are never tired of teaching that this life is only a journey from one village to another, and not a resting place.   Ancient Indian life was characterised by meditation and dreaming on TA MAGISTA- that is on the great problems of life. But when called upon they too could fight like heroes, and that without machinery, they could by patient toil even raise the meanest hand-work (craft) in to a fine work of art- thus making it a real joy to the maker as well to the buyer.  

• Transcendent temperament of the Indians, and their quest for the knowledge of SELF, is equally known to all. The Indian mind is bent on TRANSCENDING the limits of the EMPERICAL knowledge. They believe that " There is nothing higher than the attainment of F-KNOWLEDGE of THE SELF."

• Indian history also reveals to us that how reason and unreason is inseparably mixed. The social and religious ceremonies reveal chaos of superstitions, prejudices, pride, vanity and stupidity. Glimpses of reason are discernible in most of the unreason. We can also see sense dissolving itself in to nonsense, custom in to ceremony, and ceremony in to farce.

• India is perhaps the only country that combines and retains the mysticism of her ancients, the mysteries of her medievals, and the modernities of her contemporary sons, inseparably mixed despite some of her citizens embracing faiths that were introduced by her conquerors. Thus religions may differ outwardly but spiritually and culturally they all experience and enjoy a common subterranean source that is unique in INDIA.
