India Must Recover Its Essential Civilisational Self B


India Must Recover Its Essential Civilisational Self

In his essay Young India, Ananda Coomaraswamy served a "reminder": "The future of India depends as much upon what is asked of her as upon what she is." The future contours of a civilisation can and is largely derived and delineated from the civilisational maps of the past. In order to figure out what we shall be or how we aspire to be perceived, it is essential to revive, in collective memory, the perceptions of what we were as a civilisation. All efforts at civilisational re-assertions are followed with an intense quest for re-examining past perceptions of the national self—primarily cultural and ideational, the material being the manifestations of these two dimensions.
