- Abstract:
- The laudable objectives of the India Harmony Foundation and some memorable words of its esteemed founder, the late Zafar Saifullah, provided an occasion for the thoughts presented here. The former include work for the ‘oneness of spirit, national identity and brotherhood’ to strengthen the country. The latter were ‘Muhabbat ka mahaul banaa hai’ (building an ambience of amity). This is the context of this presentation. The overall theme of India’s Forgotten Heritage can cover a large number of subjects. That considered here is ‘Cultural Intermingling and Harmony in Sanskrit Literature’. To some it may seem rather technical, incidental or even trivial. But it is worth some elaboration and attention at present.
