Synthesis: "India dominated China for two thousand years and it did so without sending a single soldier"
One of the very best compliments that a country and culture can get was from Hu Shih, an ambassador of the Republic of China to the USA.
Here is what he said - "India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border."
Such a tribute to the relationship between the two countries is so rare in this world. It speaks volumes of the long, long duration of the kinds of links, the regard and respect the two peoples have for each other, much longer than a human life span or two.
It speaks of neighborliness, the conquests of hearts and minds by inspiration, example and a way of life. It speaks of the esteem the people hold each other in and their maintaining it beyond the day-to-day events, over thousands of years.
I was blown away when I first saw this quote. It indicated a person who had studied the history, given in thought and gave a statement that indicated the wisdom and friendliness of the souls of the two nations.
