00:00I do not like those who think of the past of India as just junk.
00:06There is stuff in the past that you must immensely respect.
00:11We are talking of the Gita, we are talking of the Upanishads, we are talking of our great
00:15philosophers and mathematicians and scientists.
00:19Why must we not be proud of them?
00:21I am proud of a Karnava, an Ashtavakra, a Kapila, a Kanada, obviously all the Rishis
00:27of the Upanishads.
00:28They are the ones I am proud of.
00:29I am proud of Sushruta, I am proud of Aryabhat, they are the ones I am really proud of.
00:35There is a lot in our past we can justifiably be proud of and I have just thrown a few names
00:40at you.
00:41There are dozens of such great names but they are not valued.
