Indians What We Achieved

You must be wondering why this is no way connected with topics "in the womb"... This has nothing to do with Nanganallur that's why? Just came across this and wanted to share it with you guys out there... Some of the facts about Indians were recently published in one of the German Magazines that deals with World History and here they are...

38% of Doctors in America are Indians.
12% of Scientists in America are Indians.
36% of NASA employees are Indians.
34% of MICROSOFT employees are Indians
28% of IBM employees are Indians
17% of INTEL employees are Indians
13% of XEROX employees are Indians

Interesting isn"t?

But there are many more facts which are not known to people about India and Indians.... We Indians always have the uncanny habit of degrading ourselves without looking into what we have achieved... Such facts should be publicized prominently and Indians should be made proud of what we had achieved and what's at store in the years to come. Days are not far off when we Indians, whether in India or otherwise, will be a dominant force to reckon with if not already...

Some more facts...

Grammar constitutes one of India's greatest contributions to Western philology.

Panini, the Sanskrit grammarian, who lived between 750 and 500 BC, was the first to compose formal grammar through his Astadhyai

Varanasi, also known as Benares, was called "the ancient city" when Lord Buddha visited it in 500 B.C.E, and is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world today?

India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.

The World's first university was established in Takshashila 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.

Sanskrit is the mother of all the European languages. Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software

This is not based on certain emails received. Infact i have not received any e-mails of that sorts... This
information purely based on the information provided in the website maintained by the Department of Tourism
Ministry of Tourism and Culture of the Government of India.. http://www.tourismofindia.com/index.htm... Which proclaims that it's the only
official website of Ministry of Tourism.... You may still claim that crab or you may say you dont trust the indian government website...

I leave it to you... I am very sure that the days are far off we will certainly be a force to reckon with.... I dont want harp on the past but future will
certainly tell a different story... I am always an optimistic...

Can't believe you guys are
still falling for that fake email circulating as 'recent study.' It is one thing to be proud of our country but fallacies is not a good sign...

Yes Kary... You are absolutely correct.... There are some
areas where we need improve a lot... But that at any cost shoudn't come in the
way of our improvement and achieving our goal...

Good one Vasanth. I agree, thats a great contribution we have done to the West :) We have also done some wonderful things in India. Take for ex: HCL, TCS, Tata, Birla almost 99%
are Indians thats again a big achievement.

All said, I would recommend taking a closer look at our Indians in the Middle East.

75% are working as labors
10% into management
15% illegal immigrants

Thats sounds very sad. I wouldn't blame the country completely. Partly our guys are to be blammed. My personal experience, I have seen labors coming to the gulf
for 600Riyals i.e 6000Rs equivalent. They send home close to 5,000/- What's this?????
Why not stay in India and take up the same labor job. I am sure even you work in a construction place, you are paid 150-200Rs per day. Close to say 5000Permonth.
The advantage? You stay with ur family, u serve our country etc.....

Lets build India... JAI HIND again :)
