About The India Center Foundation, Inc.
Founded as a bridge between cultures, The India Center Foundation, Inc. has established itself as a vital community institution serving Brooklyn, NY and the broader national landscape. At its core, the organization is committed to telling the complete story of India—from its ancient civilizations through its emergence as the world's largest democracy—while honoring the lived experiences of Indian Americans. The India Center recognizes that understanding India means understanding both its storied traditions and its contemporary realities, which is why the organization brings together diverse voices, perspectives, and expertise. The organization's comprehensive oral history archive stands as a testament to its commitment to preserving and celebrating Indian American narratives, ensuring that these important stories are documented and accessible to all. Rooted in a mission of cultural promotion and intellectual exchange, The India Center creates welcoming spaces where artists, academics, and community members can engage in meaningful dialogue about India's influence on global affairs and American society. The organization values independence and integrity, which is why it operates without government affiliation, allowing it to serve as an authentic platform for free expression and honest exploration. By combining exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives, The India Center Foundation fosters a deeper appreciation for the Indian subcontinent's contributions to human knowledge, art, and civilization. Supported by a dedicated community of patrons and foundations, the organization continues its mission of connecting people across cultures and building understanding through shared learning and cultural celebration.
