Bharatiya Manyaprad is a call to bring closer all Indians to one mental meadow irrespective of whether them being Indian residents, NRIs, or PIOs. Certain issues touch all of them with the same concern. Bharatiya Manyaprad receives financial assistance from ICHR, New Delhi. This is a recognized Peer-reviewed journal that is enlisted in the UGC CARE List and has established academic credibility in the field of research and scholarship.

Prolonging the tradition of Bharatiyata, Bharatiya Manyaprad is an effort to initiate an incessant renaissance in the heritage of knowledge, wisdom, and culture that great Indian master spirits. The incipient perception must be carried forward with the belief that 'Bharat' is not just a nation but an ongoing civilization, not an accident of history but a design of destiny. The vitality of Indian culture and its self-renewing greatness has always constituted a living principle. Bharatiya Manyaprad is a mirror image of this belief.

Started by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan’s Ahmedabad Kendra, the journal invites Bharatiya wisdom across the borders.
