Culture Policy for India: A Framework
India has a rich history and culture, but no “National Culture
Policy” exists. India is an old, even prehistoric, civilization.
Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro are living proof of this. Even
though foreigners have ruled us for hundreds of years, we have
a deep sense of culture, a way of thinking, and beliefs that will
never change. Indian culture brings people, nations, and the
whole world together. India has a culture full of peace and
spirituality to share with the rest of the world. Culture is like the
roots of a tree. If the roots are deep, storms cannot uproot the
tree. Famous people from India with strong ideas and beliefs
have a message for a changing world. Also, as digitalization
spreads into every part of our lives, people will likely hear
things that are not true. This changes the way people think and
threatens democracies and societies as a whole. Countries
worldwide dig deep into their pasts to learn more about their
cultures and civilizations, so they can live in harmony with each
other and be happy.
We also need to discuss the country’s cultural assets are its
economic assets. With the “VIKSHIT BHARATABHIYAN” in
2047, the country is preparing for its 100th year of
independence. India has a “New Education Policy,” an “Indian
Monetary Policy,” an “Indian Public Policy,” and many other
policies, so why does it not have a policy on the most crucial
thing, culture?
