9. THC_CTMSS306_Aug069 “If I 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 to asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed the choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solution of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant - I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thought of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life -- again I should point to India”. -MAX MULLER BHARAT MAHAN!

10. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0610 “India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages; she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self- government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all”. -WILL DURANT BHARAT MAHAN!

11. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0611 “Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of the sectarianism. It is of ages, climes, and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I am at it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night”. -HENRY DAVID THOREAU BHARAT MAHAN!

17. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0617 Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala Socialism as practiced in India has been a fraud: Our brand of socialism did not result in transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor but only from the honest rich to the dishonest rich The sleeping sickness of socialism is now universally acknowledged – but not officially in India… The public sector enterprises are the black holes, the money guzzlers and they have been extracting and exorbitant price for India’s doctrinaire socialism.

18. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0618 Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala A law suite once started in India is the nearest thing to eternal life ever seen on this earth…. History will record that the greatest mistake of the India Republic in the first 50 years of its existence was to make less investment in human resources-education, family planning, nutrition and public health-than in brick and motor dams and factories.

19. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0619 Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala Over taxation corrupted the national character overtly. The nation survived only because the tax system continued to breathe through loopholes and the economy used to breath through window of tax evasion. We have too much Government and too little administration; too many laws and too little justice; too many public servants and too little public service, too many controls and too little welfare.

20. THC_CTMSS306_Aug0620 You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money You cannot keep out trouble by spending more than you earn You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and Independence You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can do for themselves -Abraham Lincoln
