science ( and commerce & Arts) graduates.• Building on human resource, we moved into e-governance and

further into every economic, managerial & social activities• A connected country, communicating people; and empowered

citizenry. * Knowledge will forever govern ignorance and people who mean to

be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives

Inspiring Visions

- Thomas Alva Edison• To get to know each other, on a world-wide scale is

-         -Arnold Toynbee           ( at the time of launching TELSTAR in 1963)

“If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on

earth - I should point to India. If I were to asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed the choicest

gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solution of some of them which well

deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant - I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thought of Greeks and

Romans, and of one Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner

life more truly human, a life not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life -- again I should point to India”.

“Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of the sectarianism. It is of ages, climes, and

nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I am at it, I feel that I am under the spangled

heavens of a summer night”.

Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. Charaka, the father of

medicine consolidated Ayurveda 2500 years ago. Today Yoga and Ayurveda are fast regaining its

rightful place in our civilization.

The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra. According to Saka King Rudradaman I of 150 CE a beautiful lake aptly

called ‘Sudarshana’ was constructed on the hills of Raivataka during Chandragupta Maurya’s time.

Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala

• Socialism as practiced in India has been a fraud: Our brand of socialism did not result in transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor but only from the honest rich to the dishonest rich

• The sleeping sickness of socialism is now universally acknowledged – but not officially in India… The public sector enterprises are the black holes, the money guzzlers and they have been extracting and exorbitant price for India’s doctrinaire socialism.

Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala

• A law-suit once started in India is the nearest

thing to eternal life ever seen on this earth….

• History will record that the greatest mistake of

the India Republic in the first 50 years of its

existence was to make less investment in human

resources-education, family planning, nutrition

and public health-than in brick and motor dams

and factories.

Socialism: Wise thoughts from Sri Nani Palkhiwala

• Over taxation corrupted the national character overtly. The nation survived only because the tax system continued to breathe through loopholes and the economy used to breath through window of tax evasion.

• We have too much Government and too little administration; too many laws and too little justice; too many public servants and too little public service, too many controls and too little welfare.

• India has a deficiency of leaders with noble minds - Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

• Ill fares the land where ‘welfare’ is distributed before wealth is created

• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift • You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money• You cannot keep out trouble by spending more than you

earn• You cannot build character and courage

by taking away man’s initiative and Independence • You cannot help men permanently by doing for them

what they can do for themselves -Abraham
