Every nation is my nation !

We see lot of young and talented Indian professionals in Information Technology, Medicine and Higher education. They are welcomed in every country. Even within one nation, cities compete to attract the talents!.

Education is first of the many qualities, Thiruvalluvar characterizes a leader!. Thirukkural chapters 40-43 is all about Education and Wisdom.

Educated are welcomed in every nation ; every town
If such is the reality
Why one spends all his life as an illiterate?
( Thirukkural - 40 : 7 - Education )
