Mr PringIe, he'd Iike to teII you
something about India...

When we greet one another,
we foId our hands in namastey...
because we beIieve...
that God resides in the heart
of every human being.

We come from a nation where we aIIow
a Iady of CathoIic origin...
to step aside for a Sikh
to be sworn in as Prime Minister...
to a MusIim President to govern
a nation of over 80 percent Hindus.

It may aIso interest you
to know that...
many of the origins to your words
come from Sanskrit.

For exampIe,
maatr becomes mother...
bhratr becomes brother,
giamiti becomes geometry
trikonniti becomes trigonometry.

We have 5600 newspapers...
magazines in over twenty-one
different Ianguages...with a combined readership of over 120 miIIion.

We have reached the moon and back,

but yet...
you people still feel that we've onIy
reached as far as the Indian rope trick

We are the third largest pool in the word of doctors, engineers and scientists.

Maybe your grandfather
didn't teII you that...
we have the third Iargest army
in the worId.
And even then, I foId my hands
in humiIity before you...

because we don't beIieve we are
above or beneath any individuaI.
And...

Namastey. :)
