PROUD TO BE INDIAN

HAI EVERY ONE, TODAY I READ ONE BOOK ABOUT OUR INDIA, I LIKE TO SHARE SOME MEMORES OF OUR INDIAN HISTORY.SO I WRITE THIS ARTICAL.
Did you know that India is the largest democracy in the world, the 6th largest country in the world, one of the most ancient and living civilizations (at least 10, 000 years old!)?The official Sanskrit name for India is Bharat.

The name `India’ is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers. The Aryan worshippers referred to the river Indus as the Sindhu.The Persian invaders converted it into Hindu. The name `Hindustan’ combines Sindhu and Hindu and thus refers to the land of the Hindus. The largest employer in the world is the Indian railway system, employing over a million people! The World's first university was established in Takshila in 700 BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.

Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to mankind. The father of medicine, Charaka, consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago.

Until 1896, India was the only source for diamonds to the world. (Source. Gemological Institute of America)

Sushruta is regarded as the father of surgery. Over 2600 years ago Sushrata & his team conducted complicated surgeries like cataract, artificial limbs, cesareans, fractures, urinary stones and also plastic surgery and brain surgeries.

The Bialy Bridge is the highest bridge in the world. It is located in the Ladakh valley between the Dras and Suru rivers in the Himalayan Mountains. The Indian Army built it in August 1982.

Did you know?

India also celebrates the birthday of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former President and Vice-President and great statesman, as "Teachers' Day". Born on September 5, 1888, at Tiruttani, 40 miles to the north-east of Madras, Radhakrishnan grew to become the most famous Indian teacher and philosopher of all times. In his honor, this day is celebrated as Teacher's Day. He was also the Vice-President of India from 1952-1962. He held the office of the Chancellor, University of Delhi, before taking over as the President of India in May 1962.
I HOPE EVERY ONE FEELS PROUD TO BE INDIAN.

WHY MY FATHER IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME

My earliest memories of my father were that of a busy leader, with streams of supporters and voters from his Constituency. When I look back at my past I wonder how simple he was at his heart, to shed all the hang-ups of power and just enjoy being a simple family man. On one occasion, when he was out of power and not been nominated as a Governor yet, he had personally drove a car to receive me and my family at the bus station in Hyderabad. In spite of his political career, he always had enough time for family members. Being a man of many talents, he enjoyed writing letters to his family members to counsel a member in distress, or to motivate a grand child to aspire for higher education. That is why father is a Role Model for me.

I found him to be very pleasant and always willing to help others, with out any selfish motive; a great human trait indeed. In all his interactions with people, he has been very affectionate, informal and made others feel quite at ease. This is again a great quality coming from a celebrity of his stature who has occupied the highest assignment of Governorship.

He was a man of choice and determination with comfortably rich economic background, educational qualifications, academic abilities, and oratorical talents and his intense love and loyalty for national integration.

As a young man, he participated in all the activities and still studied well, exhibited excellent leadership qualities in every field he touched, worked hard throughout his life for the betterment of his little town, climbed the steps of politics without getting tempted by the money or power, reached the peaks of politics as well as finding time to encourage the development of arts and organizing cultural programs to promote national integration through music and dance. His achievements in various fields of education, sports, cinema, theatre and social work when mixed with many other basic qualities give out the best results.

This man despite being of highest caliber, is loving and caring towards his wife, parents, children, grand children and great grand children and finds time to enjoy with them, crack jokes across the dining table, leaving every member of the family with smiles. He filled joy in everyone in the limited time he had in a day and made everyone feel that he/she has a special space in his heart. Now with all the qualities mentioned till now even God has to feel proud of his creation of “THE COMPLETE MAN”.

Now this man being my FATHER and I being his daughter I feel not only happy but also proud. Knowing indeed very well that he is a rare creation, I do not feel the pressure of emulating him but instead love to watch out for his footsteps and follow them as far as I can. His life is a model of intense creative activity for public causes and should be a model for all young persons aspiring to assume leadership.

THAT IS WHY MY FATHER IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME.

Happy fathers Day !!!
