It is the only nation [India] that never went beyond its frontiers to cut the throats of its neighbours. It is a glorious thing.
It makes me rather patriotic to think I am born a Hindu, a descendant of the only race that never went out to hurt anyone, and whose only action upon humanity has been giving and enlightening and purifying and teaching, but never robbing.
- Swami Vivekananda,
Class Talk in London, May 7, 1896
