I am planning to bring books from India on Ramayana, Mahabharata, Upnishad, Panctantra for adults and Kid version (Amar Chitra Katha) and will try to donate to local library and Hindu Temple.
Malguri Days complete volume is excellent for Library.
I have donated couple of books to local library previously.
For library donation-
Indian Philosophy by Sarvepalli Radhakrishan and Charles A. Moore - excellent book

Noble Idea. But how do you plan to make people want to read the books and watch the moves you put in the bibliotheque? You don't believe the spread of Indian culture is restricted due to lack of information about it do you?
why do people practice, yoga, meditation etc and say it is a Buddhist life style? Simply cause a new comer to accept Indian culture and for Indians to preserve their culture it should seem interesting, optimistic, futuristic, mystic and beautiful. If we are able to associate all those adjectives to India. Indian culture will become interesting for people to be curious about. And for that we don't have to Waite till India becomes a prosperous country like US, UK. remember Tibet and China have just as much poverty as India. They just happen to have their best foot first. E.g Martial arts for China.
So what is my objective solution? lets make India a hip of gold buried under a pile of Goo. West is fascinated by Atlantis. Could Harrapa and Mohangodaro be Atlantis? I would think so. Following are the similarities
Do Harrapa and Mohangodaro have <b>indications of bull worship</b> as indicated by Plato? Yes
Do Harrapa and Mohangodaro have <b>irrigation system</b> as indicated by Plato? Yes
Are Harrapa and Mohangodaro <b>older than 9000 BC </b>as indicated by Plato? May Be
Do Harrapa and Mohangodaro <b>get destroyed by flood</b> as indicated by Plato? Yes
If its new and hip people would want to know about it. If it is really good it will stand the test of time.
Feel free to contact me and we can figure out further
