"True knowledge is never held hostage by ideology": Union Minister Amit Shah in Mumbai
Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged using Asiatic Society's knowledge for national welfare. He stated true knowledge should remain free from ideological constraints and restrictions. Nations preserving their history and traditions are less likely to be subjugated. Colonial interpretations of Indian knowledge weakened national confidence and created inferiority. The Asiatic Society will now spread India's knowledge tradition across the nation.
