Experience The Rich Maritime Culture of India

Coming soon…

Overview

From Dwarika in the west to Guwahati in the east; from Varanasi/Ayodhya in the north to Rameswaram in the south – rivers and seas have deep meanings and connect within the social psyche of India. They connect people and their hearts - janmanas, in an abstract but firm manner. Rivers and seas have a deep impact on our lives, whether we live near or farther to them. From everyday economic activities to our rituals and religious texts, rivers and seas, and the people around them, occupy a special place in our hearts and lives.

1

About the Conference

For highlighting this deep impression of the significance and imagery of rivers-ports-shipping in everyday life, we are organizing a series of regional, national and international events (dialogues/conferences) with participation from intellectuals, influencers and practitioners of the society. These events would yield a set of new literature on the significance of the ports/riverways/shipping in everyday life.


2

Timeline

In January 2023, we will begin with an event in Delhi to announce Bharat Pravah through a seminar/workshop with participating organizations and individuals. Then between February 2023 to May 2023, 12-15 regional conferences of 1-2 days would be organized at different centers and participating organizations across the country. These would form the base for participation for a national conference of 2-3 days in June 2023 to July 2023 in Delhi. After these, we would organize an international dialogue/event in August to September 2023 at a location of international significance.

3

Participants



Scholars, Academicians, Policy practitioners who work around the issues of shipping, ports, waterways, rivers will be invited to participate in the conferences. Bharat Pravah will serve as a common platform to bring together stakeholders from different walks for the purpose of creating a larger vision of shipping, rivers, seas & people.
