Contributions of India to Global Cultural Civilization

Culture is the life-force that flows through the veins of a nation and culture alone can keep a nation alive and awake. It provides the nation with vitality and energy. A nation with a rich and vibrant culture briskly moves on the path of development adopting novel plans with a value-system. Historians believe that a rich cultural heritage is the most distinctive feature of Indian history. This is the element that had made India the crown jewel of the world in the times of yore. Indian spirit has remained unconquered from ancient times due to this rich cultural heritage. 

Erudite researchers of world-history, cultural civilization, intellectual evolution, and oriental studies have elucidated different aspects of ancient India from time to time.  Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya had thoroughly reviewed the foundation and dissemination of the cultural values and civilization support of ancient India across the globe. His reviews were documented in book-form in 1972-73. Two parts of this book and his other articles on these aspects were compiled in the volume “Samasta Viśwa Ko Bhārata Ke Ajasra Anudāna” [published by Akhand Jyoti Sansthan, Mathura]. This volume is like a concise encyclopedia of the history of cultural civilization of the world. It cites evidential information and published references on global spread of the ancient Indian Culture and historical traces of its impact on cultural development and civilization of the rest of the world.
