We are still a long way from winning in other sports especially at the Olympics. At the sametime to consistently win at the highest level in a sport like Cricket and Chess requires a lot of talent hardwork preparation and infrastructure support.

India Trilogy Part 2 - Real Indian History

Image
An African proverb says "Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter,". This metaphor aptly describes how dominant groups inscribe power through historical narrative. And a story is never complete until we hear from all the sides. The one who does not have a voice or who does not have the means to publish his or her side of the story, is often treated as loser. Who wrote India's history? British or Indians? Let's find out. Being a history buff, I make it a point to visit museum in any major city if I have the time. Have seen the London Museum to Te papa Museum in Wellington New Zealand.

And how the man who invented the automobile (Karl Benz) is their founder? And how it took a gutsy woman (Bertha Benz), to promote the automobile to the masses? And do you know Mercedes, is named after the daughter of entrepreneur called Emil Jellineck? Karl Benz is widely regarded as "the father of the car", as well as the "father of the automobile industry". His Benz Patent-Motorwagen from 1885 is considered the first practical modern automobile and first car put into series production. He received a patent for the motorcar in 1886, the same year he first publicly drove the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. He was a prolific inventor. While designing what would become the production standard for his two-stroke engine, Benz patented the speed regulation system, the ignition using sparks with batte...
