27 February:
27 Feb 1895 : Newspaper reports: "India's Gift to the World", "Child
widows of India" Brooklyn Standard Union writes - Swami Vivekananda
spoke of the wondrous beauties of his native land, - Bharat -"where
stood the earliest cradle of ethics, arts, sciences, and literature, and
the integrity of whose sons and the virtue of whose daughters have been
sung by all travelers." Then the lecturer
showed in rapid details, what India has given to the world. ...India
has given to antiquity the earliest scientifical physicians, and,
according to Sir William Hunter, she has even contributed to modern
medical science by the discovery of various chemicals and by teaching
you how to reform misshapen ears and noses... India's message is, that
calm goodness, patience and gentleness will ultimately triumph.
