Mr Murthy...read your history...

Recently there was an article on a speech by Mr. Narayana Murthy, in which the esteemed entrepreneur says that "Never before in the last 1,000 years did India receive so much attention as it has been receiving in the last 10 years". WTF Mr Murthy.
Even a man on the street can testify that India was great from ages on...Remember the Greek guy who came to India (Alexander) or that Portuguese guy (Vasaco Da Gama) or that guy from Columbia (or Spain) who wanted to eat Tandoori chicken and landed on America (Columbus). Also don't forget the strange white traders who taught you (or your forefathers) english and who went back to their home in 1947 (not sure why, but I think there was a naked Fakir who told them to Quit India or some thing)
All these and other people came to India...why? Because they all knew about India..how great it was, how rich it was, how weak it was..... and dreamed about stealing its riches (some thing our politicians are more capable of). Also FYI..India and China accounted for 50% of the world economy before the 19th century. Read the link.

MOTS (Moral of the story)...You may be a great
entrepreneur but you should not have skipped the history class for doing your math's homework.
