Chhatrapati Shivaji Museum of Indian History

Bharath, with its thousands of years of history is a treasure trove of cultural, social, anecdotal and most importantly spiritual information. Due to extensive periods of colonization and subjugation, the history that is taught to us is written by invading victors and has been subject to vast distortions driven by political or ideological power struggles. However learning our true unbiased history is necessary for cultural confidence, increasing self-awareness and for strategic policy making.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Museum of Indian History was founded in 2010 by renowned journalist and writer Francois Gautier. Many prominent well-wishers including Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the Dalai Lama extended generous help. It has been bringing alive various facets of true Bharatiya History though its various galleries and exhibits. The founding organization is FACT (Foundation for Advancement of Cultural Ties). FACT was formed by Francois Gautier using the prize money he received by winning the ‘Nachiketa’ Award of excellence in journalism. FACT is committed to highlighting the magnificence of India and the threats to its sovereignty.
