We Indians are the wealthiest among all ethnic groups in America, even faring better than the whites and the natives. There are 3.22 million Indians in the USA (1.5% of the population). Yet, 38% of doctors in the USA are Indians. 12% of scientists in the USA are Indians. 36% of NASA scientists are Indians. 34% of Microsoft employees are Indians. 28% of IBM employees are Indians. 17% of INTEL scientists are Indians. 13% of XEROX employees are Indians.
Some of the following facts may be known to you. These facts were recently published in a German magazine that deals with WORLD HISTORY FACTS ABOUT INDIA.
1. India never invaded any country in her last 1000 years of history.
2. India invented the Number system. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.
3. The world's first University was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda, built in the 4th century BC, was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
4. According to Forbes magazine, Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software.
5. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans.
6. Although western media portray modern images of India as poverty-stricken and underdeveloped through political corruption, India was once the richest empire on earth.
7. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 5000 years ago. The word 'Navigation' is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH.
8. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now known as the Pythagorean Theorem. British scholars officially published last year (1999) that Budhayan's works date back to the 6th Century, which is long before European mathematicians.
9. Algebra, trigonometry, and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th Century; the largest numbers the Greeks and Romans used were 106, whereas Indians used numbers as big as 10^53.
10. According to the Gemmological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source of diamonds to the world.
11. The USA-based IEEE has proved what has been a century-old suspicion amongst academics that the pioneer of wireless communication was Professor Jagdeesh Bose and not Marconi.
12. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra.
13. Chess was invented in India.
14. Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago, he and health scientists of his time conducted surgeries like cesareans, cataract, fractures, and urinary stones. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India.
15. When many cultures in the world were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established the Harappan culture in the Sindhu Valley (Indus Valley Civilization).
16. The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC.
Quotes about India:
"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 grandmother of tradition." - Mark Twain
"If there is one place on the face of the earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India." - French scholar Romain Rolland
"India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border." - Hu Shih (former Chinese ambassador to USA)
All of the above is just the tip of the iceberg; the list could be endless. But, if we don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential. And that if we do, we could once again be an ever-shining and inspiring country setting a bright path for the rest of the world to follow. I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA.

Yukti ji, thank you for sharing this beautiful information. Here is my favorite song with a similar meaning but expressed differently. I hope you will like it.
Jab zero diya mere Bharat ne, duniya ko tab ginati aayi,
Taron ki bhasha Bharat ne, duniya ko pehle sikhlayi,
Deta na dashmaal Bharat to, yu chaand pe jaana mushkil tha,
Dharti aur chaand doori ka andaaza lagana mushkil tha,
Sabhyata jahaan pehle aayi, pehle janmi hain jahaan pe kala,
Apna Bharat wo Bharat hai, jiske peeche sansar chala,
Sansar chala aur aage badha, yu aage badha, badhta hi gaya,
Ab Bhagwan kare ye aur badhe, badhta hi rahe aur phoolen fale,
Hai preet jahaan ki reet sada, main geet wahan gaata hu,
Bharat ka rahne wala hu, Bharat ki baat sunata hu,
Kaale gore ka bhed nahi, har dil se hamara nata hai,
Kuch aur na aata ho humko, humein pyaar nibhana aata hai,
Jise maan chuki saari duniya, main baat wahi dohraata hu,
Bharat ka rahne wala hu, Bharat ki baat sunata hu,
Jeete ho kisi ne desh to kya, humne to dilon ko jeeta hai,
Jahaan Ram abhi tak hain nar mein, naari mein abhi tak Sita hai,
Kitne paawan hain log jahaan, main neet neet sheesh jhukaata hu,
Bharat ka rahne wala hu, Bharat ki baat sunata hu,
Itni mamta nadiyon ko bhi, jahaan maata kah ke bulaate hain,
Itna aadar insaan to kya, patthar bhi pujye jaate hain,
Us dharti pe maine janam liya, ye soch ke main utharta hu,
Bharat ka rahne wala hu, Bharat ki baat sunata hu.
