India is the land which gave birth to many brilliant brains, who served not just India but the whole human race across the globe. Without a shadow of a doubt, India needs such young brains, who are potentially strong enough to cruise the young generation to the future.

Once Albert Einstein said that everyone should feel indebted to the Indians for they taught us counting beyond 9, as India discovered 0 (zero). In fact, even computers run on binary numbers- 0 and 1. Needless to say, the world wouldn’t have computers or smartphones, had zero not be dugout.
