Subject: GOD Created INDIA

 

God was in the process of creating the universe. And he was explaining to

his

subordinates... "Look everything should be in balance. for every 10 deer

there

should be a lion.

 

Look here my fellow angels, here is the country of the United States. I have

blessed them with prosperity and money. But at the same time I have given

them

insecurity and tension....

 

And here is Africa. I have given them beautiful nature. But at the same

time, I

have given them climatic extremes....

 

And here is south America. I have given them lots of forests. But at the

same

time, I have given them lesser land so that they would have to cut off the

forests... so you see fellows, everything should be in balance. "

 

One of the angels asked... "God, what is this beautiful country here?"

 

God said "Aha...that is the crown piece of all. INDIA. My most precious

creation. They have understanding and friendly people. Sparkling streams,

serene mountains. A culture which speaks of the great tradition that they

live.

Technologically brilliant and with a heart of gold.

 

"The angel was quite surprised "

But God you said everything should be in balance."

 

God replied "Look at the neighbors I gave them"!!!!!
