India is One of the most ancient civilized countries. She has a glorious past which consists of many extraordinary personalities like- great economist- Chanakya, whose teachings are still found useful, Great warriors- Ashoka the great, Maharana pratap, who were unbeatable at their time, great scholars and researchers - Aryabhatt, Sushrut , Great freedom fighters- Shahid bhagat singh, Netaji Subhash chandra bose to name a few.
