Summary
Bharat's Brain Trust: From Nalanda to Nanotechnology—Reclaiming Intellectual Sovereignty emerges as a response to this historical rupture. The book seeks to revisit, reinterpret, and reclaim Bharat’s intellectual heritage, not as a nostalgic exercise in cultural pride, but as a critical and constructive engagement with the past to inform the future. It argues that reclaiming intellectual sovereignty is essential for building a self-reliant, creative, and equitable knowledge society in the twenty-first century.
