According to a report by The Times of India, three significant works of India's literary heritage have been included in UNESCO's 'Memory of the World' regional register. These works include Kalhana's 'Rajtarangini', the 'Mahabharata', and Kautilya's 'Arthashastra'.
These texts reflect various aspects of India's intellectual traditions, such as historiography and governance systems. The main objective of this initiative is to preserve India's manuscript heritage for future generations and to undertake its digitisation. In the year 2024, other literary works also received a place in this register.
The Mahabharata was a major Sanskrit epic of ancient India, revered in Hinduism. While describing the events of the Kurukshetra War, it also discusses philosophical concepts such as the four goals of life. The Bhagavad Gita is a key part of this text.
