INDIC RENAISSANCE

Academicians who are insiders to the culture have contrived the name 'Indic' to denote the essence of the Indian civilization which, although etymologically accurate, is a term hardly understood by anyone in the public domain.

• Indic Academy

• Indic Collective

• Pondy Litfest in the charming town adopted by Shri Aurobindo

  • talks about Bhārat Shakti, the power core of the Indic civilization

        • Property protection, i.e. now also including intellectual

        • Punishing the "wicked"

        • Rewarding the "virtuous"

      • All other matters are meant to be executed through local communities, maybe in public-private partnerships to achieve scale.

      • What an amazing model all the way back from Kautilya/Chānakya ArthaShāstra!

    • Interestingly MK Gandhi, not at all endorsing his entire controversial philosophy of life, but he has well described this in the concept of Village Republics
