"Be Proud", is a song by an Indian band Zeal Within that serves to invoke a sense of of pride by recalling the glorious forgotten history of ancient India. After all, in the last 2000 years, India led the world economy fro 1500 years. It is shocking how many Indians do not even know their own history. India has been the inventors of zero, which is commonly known, but how many people know that Indian documents refer to differential and integral calculus 500 years before newton? Also, Plastic and cataract surgery came from here. Sushruta was the first to use magnets in surgery. We also developed the atomic theory before the greeks, and found that the time for the earth to orbit the sun to be 365.2587 days. People from around the world came to learn in India in prestigious universities such as Nalanda and Kanchipuram. Militarily, we were supreme as well. Few people know that Marthandavarman sunk the entire dutch fleet, causing the collapse of the dutch and Abbaka rani sunk the entire Portugese fleet causing the collapse of the portugese. Emperor Pulakesi had an army of 1 million infantry,75,000 horses and 15000 elephants. The Nanda army was even bigger. The lyrics go: The leading economy for millennia Inventors of the decimal system Million man armies The oldest living culture Be proud We were the center of learning int he world When the Romans came here they described common people wearing pearls on their feet. Our doctors were the first to perform cataract surgeries So hold your head high, be proud,be honored (And lets prove ourselves worthy of such a great ancestry)
