This is the 21st Century, but the 13th Century is still alive within us, the combination of both is what it will take to make us whole.

One of the
strengths of Indian people has been our adaptability.
In today's world, education is what we
need to survive.  We need doctors, lawyers,
teachers, scientists.  We can become these
things and still live in a cultural way.  We need
to live in two worlds; the educated world and
the Indian cultural world.  Education will help
protect our land, our people's health, and
provide knowledge for our people.  We must
teach reading, writing and arithmetic.  Also,
we must teach the language, the culture, the
ceremony and the tradition of our people.
