Former President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma being presented a copy of ‘Rasikpriya’, published by Dr. (Pt.) Vishwanath Sharma

IIndia has the oldest and richest heritage in the World. The recent excavations have proved beyond doubt that the Indus Valley Civilization was the oldest civilization of mankind. The unique and enviable Indian culture and traditions are actually derived from Hinduism which follows Sanatan Dharmah. India is the only country, which can boast about the rich and traditional spiritual strength. However, over the years due to many invasions on our country by outsiders, there has been an amalgamation of their culture with the true Indian culture. Furthermore, the recent trend of westernization has also resulted in the erosion of traditional Indian values to some extent. Today, preservation of the Indian culture and traditional values is the need of the hour. Non-Governmental organizations can immensely contributing towards this challenging cause.
