the following is the official letter of invitation
You are cordially invited to participate in a Seminar titled
'Chronology and Distinguishing Characteristics of the Indic Civilization',
to be held in Dallas, TX (Oct 12-14th, 2007). Please find attached a Call
for Papers detailing the issues, background, purpose, and deliverables for
the seminar.
The objective of the seminar is to increase awareness of the
importance of learning the accurate History of India. The seminar is a
small step towards questioning the establishment, present new research,
uncover new facts, and propagate the correct history to the public at
large in general, and the classrooms in particular.
In addition to indologists and historians, the seminar is equally
relevant to parents of school-going children, community and educational
leaders, and public service professionals. Cultural self-esteem among
impressionable young minds is a direct derivative of correctness of
history taught in schools. Also the representation of the community in the
media and in public space is a consequence of the same. Thus, there is a
veritable need from all quarters, scholars and general public alike to
come together and effect a joint program of correction and propagation of
true history.
A paper submission is not necessarily required to participate in
the session deliberations. You may choose to contribute ad-hoc to the
process of corrections of history, and be part of the plan for propagation
among students and general public including the media.
Conference attendance is highly recommended but not mandatory to
be a valuable asset to the session deliberations. You can submit your
paper which will be tabled at the session in absentia, and deliberated
upon by the session participants.
If I can answer any of your questions, feel free to give me a call
at 925-998-2529 (mobile). You can reach me via e-mail by replying to this
communique.
Looking forward to your response.
Sincerely yours,
