“We will relentlessly work towards bringing back Bharatiya idols and artefacts that were taken away illegally from Bharat.”
Repatriation of antiquities has been an active, demonstrable effort: India has retrieved a large number of antiquities in recent years (well over 600 since 2014, compared with a small handful before), including major returns from the United States and Australia facilitated through cultural-property agreements and high-level summits, and the government continues to pursue further returns. As an open-ended commitment to "relentlessly work towards" bringing back artefacts, it shows strong momentum but is by nature ongoing. Partial (active delivery).
Ramayan is celebrated across the world, particularly in South and South-East Asia. We will launch a global outreach program for documenting and promoting the tangible and intangible legacy of Lord Ram in all countries. We will celebrate Ramayan Utsav with great fervour across the globe to commemorate the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla.
We will collaborate with countries across the globe to restore and revitalise sites of Bharatiya civilization.
We will establish Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centres across the globe to showcase Bharat’s rich culture and offer training in yoga, ayurveda, Bharatiya languages, classical music etc. We will promote Bharat’s rich democratic traditions going back millennia as the Mother of Democracy.
