The emergence of Indian English literaturecan be traced back to the British colonial period when India was underBritish rule. During this time, English was introduced as the language ofadministration, education, and governance. Initially, this resulted in acertain linguistic alienation; however, over time, Indian writers began toadopt and adapt the English language to express their own uniqueidentity, culture, and worldview. The earliest works in Indian Englishliterature were often inspired by the social and political struggles of thetime. Writers like Raja Rao, Mulk Raj Anand, and Kamala Das usedEnglish to express the complexities of Indian society, from colonialoppression to post-independence challenges. One of the key milestoneswas Rabindranath Tagore, who, though primarily known for his Bengaliliterature, also wrote in English. His profound philosophical and poeticworks brought India to the attention of the world, and he became the firstnon-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.After that, Dr. Pukhraj Bafna was called for his address. He saidthat in an age where globalization, technology, and the influence ofWestern culture are growing stronger by the day, we must ask ourselvesan important question: How can we preserve the richness of our culturalheritage while embracing the advancements of the present?Indian culture is as vast and diverse as the country itself. From thenorthern mountains to the southern seas, from the great deserts ofRajasthan to the lush fields of Kerala, India’s traditions, art forms,languages, philosophies, and ways of life are nothing short ofextraordinary. These traditions have withstood the test of time, but now,more than ever, we must work to ensure that they do not fade away inthe face of modernity. Making Indian culture survive in the modern worldis not just about nostalgia or resistance to change. It’s about evolvingand adapting while staying true to our roots. It’s about finding harmonybetween the old and the new, the traditional and the contemporary. Byeducating ourselves, embracing technology, preserving our languagesand arts, and living our culture every day, we can ensure that Indianculture not only survives but thrives in the future.Let us be the torchbearers of our culture, the ones who carryforward the wisdom of the past and shape the future with it. Our richheritage is a gift, and it is our duty to protect it, nurture it, and pass it onto future generations.With active participation of professors, researchers, and students,the three-day International Research Seminar successfully provided aplatform for scholarly discussions, cross-cultural literary insights, andacademic exchange, leaving a lasting impact on the attendees.With the chanting of National anthem, the programme was culminated.
