NEW YORK, USA, August 10, 2009: Noted French journalist and writer Francois Gautier, who has made India his home and propagation of Hinduism his cause and mission for over three decades, is currently traveling across the US to raise funds through his foundation, FACT – India, to establish an Indian history museum in Pune, India.
Gautier, a Westerner who has unconditionally adopted a Hindu way of life, feels the museum is necessary in order to provide a correct portrayal of Hindu civilization and to correct the widely prevalent distortions of Indian history that have been propagated for over two centuries by the British, Christian missionaries, communists and the western world in general.
In an interview with India Post last week, Gautier spoke about his ambitious museum project, the many threats to Hinduism in today’s world and how Hindus can gain the respect of the world. Gautier shares in his interview, “I think it is a special privilege to be born a Hindu.” (See Link for more.)
