My country, India has inspired^1,2,3,4,5,6 the world for more than 9000 years (yes, nine thousand years !) ^1,2,3,4,5 history of which spans the period of Vedic age ^1,2,3, Harappa-Mohenjodaro^1,2, Ramayana ^1,2,3, Mahabharata, Mughal dynasty^1,2,3 (during this period Tajmahal^1,2,3,4,5, one of the eight wonders^1,2,3,4 of the world was constructed), British dynasty and the present India^1,2. Spiritual genius like Buddha, Swami Vivekananda, greatest emperor like Ashoka^1,2, shrewd politician like Chanakya1,2, military brilliance like Shivaji^1,2 , eminent scientist like Aryabhttya, Bhaskaracharya, Dr. C. V. Raman, Dr. J. C. Bose, Sathyendranath Bose are from India. Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, Bhagat Singh, Netaji^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7} (check this recent article), Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and Nehru are among many great patriots for whom we got our present independent India. Great personalities like Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray^1,2  are also from India. Mother Teresa spent almost full of her life in India. Prof Amartya Sen, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, N. R. Narayana Murthy, Viswanathan Anand, Sachin Tendulkar^1,2 and Amitabh Bachhan^1,2  are India's recent living hall of fame.

The personalities whom I admire most are Krishna1,2,3,4, the embodiment of awesome power (who blessed the world with a scripture like Bhagavad Gita^1,2,3,4), Jesus Christ^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, the embodiment of true love for human being  and, Vivekananda^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}, the eternal source of inspiration for the youths of the modern world.

A few things we need to know before accepting popular belief:

• Vivekananda on so-called theory of Aryan Invasion. An excellent article by Prof Dinesh Agrawal, Demise of Aryan Invasion/Race Theory, exposes the myth of Aryan Invasion Theory. It is written on the basis of the emergence of new information in the last couple of decades. Also read this, this and this.

• Alexander, The Great (!!), was defeated by Porus, the king of Punjab. A new revelation is brought before us by Prof Dinesh Agrawal on his article Alexander, The Ordinary.

• Indus Civilization was bigger than the contemporary civilization in the Nile Valley in Pharaonic Egypt: The Indus Riddle (from India Today), an article, on radically different picture of Indus valley civilization calls for a complete revision of ancient Indian history. Don't miss this one.
