Sinha made these remarks at the ‘Chinar Book Festival’ organised by the National Book Trust of India at Srinagar, which also saw the presence of the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

“New generation must be made aware that our civilization was economically prosperous and it was also the global centre of literature, science and spirituality,” the LG said in his address.

“Ancient India was the engine of world civilization and culture. We gave the gift of science, mathematics, medicines to the world and we should be proud of our cultural, literary, scientific and spiritual heritage,” Sinha added.

“The roots of our knowledge and science have always been immense. We need to liberate ourselves from the colonial mindset and the new generation must be told that our heritage has been leading the world and the gift of science that we have given to the entire humanity is incomparable,” the LG said.

According to an official press release, the LG also congratulated the Union Ministry of Education and the National Book Trust for providing an opportunity to the readers to keep track of new ideas and perspectives and interact with eminent writers and scholars from across the country.

“The books open the window to the world. Books offer new ideas and fresh perspectives that change the way we perceive things and promote critical thinking. Chinar Book Festival will connect the new generation to our precious literary heritage and inspire them to preserve and promote our traditional wisdom left behind by our ancestors,” he said.

The LG also highlighted that “under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is witnessing economic, cultural and scientific renaissance, simultaneously”. He said, in order to strengthen the nation’s spiritual, social, and emotional unity, the unique contributions of writers and thinkers are essential.

The LG emphasised on reviving India’s ancient knowledge system and making it a part of mainstream education.

He called upon the National Book Trust to publish and translate the Nilamata Purana, Rajatarangini, and Kathasaritsagara into various Indian languages.

These editions in regional language should also be prominently featured at international book festivals to introduce the world to J&K’s unique literary heritage, he added.

The LG further asked the National Book Trust to actively promote famous literature from Kashmiri, Pahari, Gojri, Dogri, Urdu, and Punjabi at book festivals and ensure their translation into various languages to reach a wider audience.

The event also witnessed the inauguration of ‘Saradaksarani’- First National Exhibition of Sharada Alphabets, and Kashmiri Translation of book titled “Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh-through the ages”. The winners of Rashtriya e-Pustakalaya Amrit Kaal Story Writing Competition were also announced.

Prof. Milind Sudhakar Marathe, Chairman, National Book Trust; Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir; Prof. Raghuvendra Tanwar, Chairman Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR); Dr Amit Wanchoo, Chief Convener, Chinar Book Festival; Yuvraj Malik, Director, National Book Trust; vice-heads of various educational institutions, senior officials, eminent literary personalities, book lovers, youth and children in large number were present.
