Indian History Awareness and Research

IHAR, or Indian History Awareness and Research, is an organization dedicated to collecting, collating, interpreting, and integrating knowledge about India’s history. Its stated approach is inclusive of India’s recorded history as well as its oral traditions. Through its website, IHAR shares articles, research, videos, press releases, and event coverage for readers interested in India’s past and heritage.

Its published topics span ancient history, archaeology, monuments, religious traditions, regional heritage, folk art, and the history of social and political movements. Recent articles explore subjects such as unprotected heritage conservation, Prayagraj’s sacred history, Bengal’s cultural traditions, and soapstone artisans. IHAR also organizes and participates in conferences, panel discussions, lectures, and public events, sometimes in partnership with other institutions. Its video and media content includes interviews, webinars, lectures, and discussions on historical narratives, Indian knowledge, and heritage. The organization provides opportunities to connect, submit material, contribute, and donate, and lists an executive committee and experts panel.
