The Purpose "Resurgent India" would aim to evoke in us Indians a great love for India, a pride in our heritage, and an inspiration to work for an even greater tomorrow in the new Millennium. The purpose of "Resurgent India", therefore, is:
* To re-discover and highlight the true and authentic picture of India's great achievements in every field of human activity, including science and technology, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, surgery, architecture, sculpture, art, music, dance, agriculture, polity and administration and Yoga and spirituality.
* To gain an insight into the causes and the forces which enabled India to attain these heights.
* Finally, to draw inspiration from these insights, to work for a New, Vibrant and Resurgent India, that will go beyond its ancient achievements and play its true role in the world as "a leader in the ways of the spirit and a friend and helper of all the peoples". The qualities that for centuries gave India its unparalleled eminence will not only have to be rediscovered and re-established but also to be taken to greater heights.
For this a beginning has to be made by creating a greater awareness about these truths. At the same time a movement has to be initiated that will bring together people from various fields who would like to strive together for the above purpose.
The Target Audience
"Resurgent India" is expected to impact a large number and cross-section of people in various age groups and fields. It would be particularly targeted at Indians, NRIs and foreigners who have an increasing desire to know India.

A Professor of mathematics in Calcutta is gathering material on the contributions of India to mathematics, science and astronomy.
A dancer in Chennai is working on Indian Classical Dance.
A person in Trivandrum is gathering information from different sources on various topics.
Some others are collecting funds for the project. Several persons have also suggested that it would be nice if, from time to time, there could be an update of the progress of the work. Ms. Shonar Joshi has been working on the Resurgent India Project full time for several months. As part of her research she has also been travelling to different parts of India. She has already covered Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. We asked her for her personal experiences and observations. We give below the note sent by her. It contains both, the pain and the joy a lover of India encounters as he or she tries to find and touch the heart of India. We feel it would be of interest to all those who are involved in the Resurgent India Project. India needs more and more persons who would like to strive for its resurgence. http://www.sriaurobindosociety.org.in
