India’s present has been shaped by the past. India's future is defined by the present. Within the rich tapestry of our culture, an indelible mark on history is the profound contribution of a wide spectrum of philosophers, thinkers, kings, emperors, scientists, poets, dramatists, writers, and most importantly the masses or the common people. The land between the Himalayas and the sea, as described by the Westerners, has in its history unprecedented milestones. Great personalities have shaped our geographical, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, and social spheres with critical thinking, creative execution, and visionary evolution.
