Facts about India....Will this make you feel proud?  

Felt nice to know that though born and raised in UK, you felt proud to read these facts and are proud to be an indian.

Thanks for supporting the discussion too. Thanks a lot!

Hey, human spider,

I have a question here. To which country do you belong? What have you done for your country? Do you have a name in hot list?

It is not possible for each and every person to be on the top and famous and make their country proud. But atleast we can feel proud from what our people have done for the world and taken the country ahead.

hi Rakhii, thanks for your kind comment. And somewhat in response to the person who posted in this thread above, I would say that the thing I do to make myself proud to be an Indian is I behave in a way that people respect and admire me for. No one who knows me would say "She's a bad Indian" - hopefully they see me as a person before they see my skin colour but I think most people I come across would think of me as a positive example of an Indian person as I do my best to be good to people and as kind and helpful as possible so people can see I had a good upbringing and that I have strong values :)

Thanks a lot anonymili for making us feel proud staying there in UK. Being good to people around and helping them out is a great deed. Always be like that and make your country feel proud of you! Thanks a lot!

Thats true! India is unable to provide opportunities to its citizen, therefore they tend to move to other countries. In that case too, they make their country proud. thats great and more important! Thanks for the response!

For this i will like to say just wait for a while and you will see whole of the world is moving to india in search of opportunities.

Hope what you have said, happens soon. God bless you!

You are right without being disrespectful to other countries "East or West, India is the best" It is a pity our country is being exploited by crooked politicians, who have divided the country on casteism on communism. That is the only blot.

Thanks for adding some more important facts and quotes about our nation that will make us proud for our country.

I am proud to be an Indian and what I have added is just a few of them. If I am to add more the list would be endless.

Please correct your figures. India accounts 16.7% of worlds population, not more than 25%.

Secondly, India is trying its best to improve its economy and health.

Though we have maximum leprosy patients, India has 85% of the world's cured leprosy patients. India is striving hard to cure and eliminate the disease. India has recently declared that it has achieved the tag of 'elimination' of leprosy as the number of cases is now just around one per 10,000 people.

Please followe the link below to see the leprosy decline rate:

We have few challenges remaining that the government is taking care of.

One more fact for you:

Although 83% of the people are Hindu, India also is the home of more than 120 million Muslims--one of the world's largest Muslim populations. The population also includes Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, and Parsis.

Thanks for your response!

Thankyou for all the information.
If it wasn't for the people of India we in the USA would not have enough doctors. Same for the Philipines and nurses. Transgendered Philipinos/Philipinas as caregivers in Israel and the UK.
Several of my physicians are from India, and I am very comfortable in their care. One is a Seik.
I had hoped to visit one day but I am uncomfortable around people. Social anxiety disorder is what the lexicon has embraced.

Yeah. And 750 languages. 25% of the population were not the latest figures. I will accept your figure 16%.

Thanks for accepting the truth! You should never put down any person, community or country. We are here to spread love and not hatred.

Thanks for responding!

You are not an indian, but now do you like India. Do visit India at any point of time. You will like it even more.

Here is an explanation to that:

Bangladesh, literally meaning “land of the Bangla (Bengali) speakers,” was born out of the civil war in Pakistan in 1971–72. Pakistan's very creation had been rooted in its claim to serve as a homeland for Muslim South Asians, but it proved unable to incorporate Muslim Bengalis into the polity. The major sources of conflict included language—Bangla bore little resemblance to the ideological, conceptual frameworks created for Urdu and Punjabi, the main languages used in the West wing—and rather different cultural understandings of the practice of Islam.

Indo-Pakistani relations deteriorated again when civil war erupted in Pakistan, pitting the West Pakistan army against East Pakistanis demanding autonomy and later independence.

The fighting forced an estimated 10 million East Pakistani civilians to flee to India.

In December India invaded East Pakistan in support of the East Pakistani people. The Pakistani army surrendered at Dhaka and its army of more than 90,000 became Indian prisoners of war.

East Pakistan became the independent country of Bangladesh on 6 December 1971.

So, would you call this an invasion. If we would have invaded that country, it would have been under our rules and regulations. But Bangladesh is an independant country now.

"In December India invaded East Pakistan in support of the East Pakistani people." These are the lines in your cut and paste reply.Hasn't it answered the question fairly?

I am sorry but I am not getting your point you want to put here.

Dear Rakhii what I meant to say is that I stood to differ your view that India has not invaded any country.In you reply to say that I am wrong you yourself has mentioned that "In December India invaded East Pakistan in support of the East Pakistani people. The Pakistani army surrendered at Dhaka and its army of more than 90,000 became Indian prisoners of war."
So you agree that India has invaded.
By the way I love India and just want to play this word game with you for a while and nothing personal.Bye.
