Bharat : Sanskritik Chetna Ka Adhishthan

The Rig Veda states, Bhadram Ichchanti Rishiyah, meaning that sages live their lives with the desire for public welfare. Thinking and working for the public good is the hallmark of a sage. That is why India is called the land of the sage tradition. These same sages proclaimed, Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah/Sarve Santu Niramaya/Sarve Bhadrani Pashyantu/Ma Kashcid Dukhbhagbhavet. Meaning, may everyone be happy, may everyone be healthy, may everyone be engaged in each others well-being, and may no one cause suffering to anyone. Indian culture is an extension of this sentiment. Those who carried forward our sage tradition, from Adi Shankaracharya to Saint Tulsidas, have nurtured this cultural consciousness. Thus, India became the seat of a cultural consciousness that shows the world the path to happiness, peace, and harmony. To understand India, one must understand the essence of its culture. It cannot be understood through Western concepts like survival of the fittest or communist concepts like class struggle, which, even after independence, have been engaged in fostering a K mentality and pitting it against Indianness. This entire group, under the guise of phrases like People kept coming, caravans kept forming, has been plotting to erase Indias cultural identity. Yet, in his book The Study of History, world-renowned scholar Arnold Toynbee considers these very cultural values of India as an option to save humanity standing on the brink of destruction.
