As a nation, we have been subjected to countless stereotypical portrayals, be it in Slumdog Millionaire or in How I Met Your Mother. India has been repeatedly typecast as an extremely poor country, with exotic looking people, brightly decked elephants and snakes dancing to the tunes of its charmer at every roadside.

Here are some powerful messages by global stalwarts expressing their fascination for India.
