Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 achievements in the field of science and we can rightly be proud of these. We have to march ahead taking cognisance of the real picture of Bharat and also of our hidden potentials,” he said. He exhorted the new generation to take the country to the highest peak of glory, making known to the world of its intellectual power, the proud past and the potentials. “Science in India had been on very high standard in the hoary past. Some evidences for that are available in our ancient literature and also in concrete facts. For example, the iron pillar erected near Qutab Minar in Delhi has been standing since the past 2,000 years and till today has not been damaged by rust. It bears testimony that India was aware of the techniques of making rust-free metal, which was not possible even in the factories of Sweden or Korea. It can also be seen that about two and a half thousand years ago, Alexandra begged for steel from Porus, which was used in Damascus for making swords. That steel was also made in India. Ancient history gives us lasting inspiration and we should recognise our glorious heritage,” he said. The function was presided over by Shri Dinanth Batra, vice president of Vidya Bharati. Shri Brahmdev Sharma ‘Bhaiji’, national organising secretary of Vidya Bharati gave away the prizes to the winners. (FOC)Do You ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
