• India invented the number system. Albert Einstein said: "We
owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without
which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been
made."
• Algebra, trigonometry and calculus originated in India.
• The value of "pi" was first calculated by the mathematician
Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as
the PythagoreanTheorem. He discovered it in the 6th century,
which was long before European mathematicians.
• India is the largest English-speaking nation in the world.

My point is that India is definitely worth looking into and knowing
something about. Plus, 38 percent of doctors in the United States
are of Indian descent, and 12 percent of scientists are aswell. They
represent the wealthiest of all ethnic groups in the United States as
well as globally. Education is stressed and many Indians run large
U.S. and global corporations.
India itself has become a major economic force on its own once
again and deserves our attention, not just as a destination point or
a piece of history. India is important to our future, and as globally
aware citizens, we need to spend some time learning about this
fascinating and dynamic country.
It definitely means the world has some very viable competition,
specifically in China and India! Which is good - I've always believed
that competition can get rid of complacency, and fast. Mark Twain
said: "Don't go around sayingthe world owesyou a living. The world
owes you nothing. It was here first."
That can apply to a lot of things. Let's give that some thought.
How can you use this information to your advantage? The rich will
spot the opportunities, while the poor will hide their heads and
pretend it isn't happening.
Can you spot opportunities that may arise from these economic
changes?
