Indianness Quotes : pic 000505858

India is my kid sister.
Indianness Quotes : pic 000752269

Indianness Quotes : pic 000615339
Some travellers tell us that an Indian had no name given him at first, but earned it, and his name was his fame; and among some tribes he acquired a new name with every new exploit. It is pitiful when a man bears a name for convenience merely, who has earned neither name nor fame
