STORIES OF INDIA is a series of story-led conversations from various corners of the world, curating the experiences of being Indian. What is the idea of India? What does it stand for? Which stories of life are reflective of the country and its culture?
The objectives of the STORIES OF INDIA series:
1. to understand the past and present of India from the perspectives of various thought leaders and change agents, making a difference in diverse disciplines.
2. to discuss the stories representative of the spirit of India.
3. putting together two generations of respondents. This series will have young scholars interacting with the panelists to experience the stories that matter to the former. We believe such interactions will help the youngsters with clarity on where they come from and where they'll start from.
