The greatness of India is basically due to its culture which blends 'This Worldliness' and 'Other Worldliness' in a unique manner. This culture is over 7000 years old and has emerged in an organic manner throughout the ages, getting enriched by intermixing of several races, religions and culture. While its basic structure was founded during the Vedic period of our history, it has developed, grown, spread and enriched itself all through the successive centuries.

The greatness and glory of the Indian culture have been duly accepted by many great scholars, visitors and others from all parts off the world. India has been rightly called the 'Guru of Mankind' due to its cultural and spiritual superiority over all other nations in the world. Unfortunately, during the British rule the Indian culture was suppressed and deliberate attempts were made to destroy its basic nations, but in vain.

A country without cultural heritage is just like a tree without roots. A man is known by the family he belongs to, likewise a country's heritage gives it the rightful place in the comity of nations. In view of this, for the following reasons, it is necessary to study the history and culture of our own country - to awaken consciousness towards our cultural heritage; to inspire confidence in the minds of Indians about the greatness of their past so that they may draw inspiration; to infuse a spirit of healthy socio-economic life so that gifts to equality, fraternity and freedom become easily available; to remind the people of India about their role in building up the world culture; to project correct image of India before the foreigners; and lastly to lay guidelines for the future generation in the absence of which posterity will hold us responsible for the great betrayal.

All those people who are engaged in the task of national reconstruction, should first get themselves acquainted with the culture of India and fully understand the values of Indian culture before imparting them to others. Like the missionaries of Ashoka, they should dedicate themselves to the great task heart and soul.

Culture is a continuous process for the betterment of human lot. It is created and recreated through our own efforts. Now we have to recreate it in the light of recent political, scientific and cultural developments - developments of vital import to the world and the coming generation.
