Bringing Indian Wisdom to American Schools covers the journey of Rajiv Malhotra and Infinity Foundation in intervening in the education system in the USA over the years. These interventions were made to rectify the distortions and misrepresentations regarding Hinduism that were prevalent in school and university curricula. The interventions were disruptive as well as constructive in nature; disruptive where the motive was to highlight and call out the oftentimes deliberate and gross misrepresentations of Hindu mores, and constructive where the motive was to provide new rationale for the discourse. The chronicles cover the interventions made by Infinity Foundation not only in schools and university systems but also in popular discourses like films and the media.

ROBERT THURMAN
Professor, Author, and Co-Founder of Tibet House US
‘Indian scholars and philanthropists tend not to take interest in the ancient Indian Buddhist works, since the Buddhist institutions were long ago driven out from India into Tibet, and contemporary Indians identify with the literatures of Hinduism, considered rather different from Buddhism. But Rajiv Malhotra proved an exception to these general tendencies and realized right away that the works contained in the Tibetan Tanjur are an immense jewel-mine of Indian intellectual and spiritual traditions. So, he generously provided funding to bring out the first of these works. For this vision and generosity, I and future generations of scholars and practitioners, will always be deeply grateful’.
