Indigenous Perspective
"History writing must be character-building, culturally enriching, and supportive of Dharma."
Guiding Principles
The foundational framework that guides the institute's research, ensuring a truthful, character-building, and culturally enriching narrative of India's glorious past.
The Concept
The word "History" (Itihas) itself means "thus it certainly was." It is the impartial presentation of truth. The achievements of the past provide energy and self-confidence, while the mistakes teach us lessons.
To this end, the Thakur Ramsingh Itihas Shodh Sansthan was founded to bring to light the 197-crore-year history of humanity, based on the impartial presentation of truth.
"History writing must be character-building, culturally enriching, and supportive of Dharma."
