Dialogue from a Movie – Namastey London

Mr PringIe, he'd Iike to teII you something about India...

When we greet one another, we foId our hands in namastey...

because we beIieve...

that God resides in the heart of every human being.

We come from a nation where we aIIow a Iady of CathoIic origin...

to step aside for a Sikh to be sworn in as Prime Minister...

to a MusIim President to govern a nation of over 80 percent Hindus.

It may aIso interest you to know that...

many of the origins to your words come from Sanskrit.

For exampIe, maatr becomes mother...

bhratr becomes brother, giamiti becomes geometry

trikonniti becomes trigonometry.

We have 5600 newspapers...

magazines in over twenty-one different Ianguages...

with a combined readership of over 120 miIIion.

We have reached the moon and back, but yet...

We are the third largest pool in the word of doctors, engineers and scientists.

We have the third Iargest army in the worId.

And even then, I foId my hands in humiIity before you...

because we don't beIieve we are above or beneath any individuaI.

And...

namastey. :)
