Q.6 What is Swadeshi Indology Conference?

While extensive and intensive studies of the heritage of every country are a natural concern of the respective countrymen, it is a paradox that Indian heritage is being studied too little by Indian scholars themselves, and rather extensively by Western academicians. This is a dangerous imbalance that must be rectified.

In order to nourish an indigenous Indology that naturally cares for the protection of its own cherished and valuable inheritance, a movement was started. This is called Swadeshi Indology. The Indian entity aligned to my work Infinity Foundation India has so far conducted five Swadeshi Indology conferences. You can read more about them here

Q.7 What is HIST series?

HIST – History of Indian Science and Technology

India’s historical contributions to science and technology are considerable, but are not well known. India’s scientific heritage, besides its philosophical and cultural legacy, needs to be properly understood, in order to give its own people a better sense of their place in history. HIST series is an attempt by Rajiv Malhotra to document the history of Indian science and technology in a systematic and rigorous manner

The following volumes have already been published and printed as part of this project:

S. No.	Title of the book	Author(s)	Year of publication
1.	Harappan Architecture & Civil Engineering	J. P. Joshi, late Director General of Archaeological Survey of India	2008
2.	Marvels of Indian Iron Through the Ages	(Late) Prof. R. Balasubramaniam	2008
3.	History of Iron Technology in India	Prof. Vibha Tripathi	2008
4.	Harappan Technology and its Legacy	Prof. D. P. Agrawal	2009
5.	Himalayan Traditional Architecture	Dr. O. C. Handa	2009
6.	Indian Zinc Technology in a Global Perspective	Prof. J. S. Kharkwal	2011
7.	History of Metals in Eastern India and Bangladesh	Dr. Pranav Chattopadhyay & Prof. Sen Gupta (former D. G. of A. S. I.)	2011

11.	Reflections on the History of Indian Science and Technology	Dr. O. C. Handa(Ed.)	2015
12.	India Beads: History and Technology	Prof. R. K. Mohanty and Prof. Tilok Thakuria	2016

14.	Chalcolithic South Asia: Aspects of Crafts and Technologies	Profs. Vasant Shinde, Shweta Sinha Deshpande and Amita Sarkar	2016

There are many important ways by which this project differs from a few other attempts that might appear similar to a non-expert in this field: Infinity Foundation India considers it very important to distance itself from such discredited scholarship. This is why the subject series has been built on solid academic scholarship only, and not on wild extrapolations. To accomplish this, IFI’s project involves rigorous peer reviews of each manuscript. There is a high quality editorial board of international eminence. Scholars will only rely upon reference works that are very credible and have gone through rigorous peer reviews and due diligence.

Q.8 How can we purchase books of HIST series?

Q.9 Why does Rajiv speak in English? His ideas would be more effective if he speaks in an Indian language.

Rajiv has spoken in Indian languages at various forums. Rajiv is more conversant in English and therefore he makes his points in that language. Further, Rajiv is conversant with Hindi and Punjabi and not all persons in India know these two languages. Rajiv’s strength is to develop new ideas in academics and research. We cannot expect him to get involved in translations.

Team members of Rajiv Malhotra are trying to translate his videos/ blogs / articles in various languages. However, they could do with some support. Would you be willing to contribute? Refer next FAQ.

Q.10 Rajiv’s works should be translated in Indian languages for better reach.

Two books of Rajiv, Being Different and Breaking India have already been translated in Hindi. Being Different has also been translated in Kannada language.

A Marathi translation of “Breaking India” is ready. We require sponsorship to publish it.

Translation efforts are ongoing and you can sponsor this effort. Refer Q.5 for details on sponsoring.
