Self Dependence

“Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such high caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, …


Self Dependence …

… and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will loose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation”


Self Dependence

These words were spoken by a person largely credited with having laid the foundations of modern education in India.Yes, it was Lord McCauley who said these words in his speech of February 2, 1835, delivered in the British Parliament.


The beautiful ‘dew’ drops

• Dream BIG- Our dreams limit our achievements

• Enjoy Life - Have fun in every activity

• Work Hard- To create historyAny two out of three is not an option


An Unsolicited Advice

Get out of the “Colonial Mindset”, The world is ours to make a mark on.

In our move towards becoming a developed nation, to provide an honorable and comfortable life to Indians, and to live as equals,Be the change agent, use IT, and help build such a nation for all of us.


"Be the change that you wish to see in the world"

- Mahatma Gandhi
