MYIndia

i dream of an indian cultural center. its mission statement would be:

-to foster in young children, a sense of pride in the national heritage--in indian history, culture, and all of its artifacts.
-to create a strong sense of identity among indian children of their indian-ness, to help children of indian parents identify positively and embrace the cultural, religious, historical and social construct that informs attachment with India.
-to be secular in approach, not removing religion from the curriculum but incorporating all religions that exist in india
-to not confuse this sense of pride and this identity with nationalistic machismo.
