Jamsetji Tata Unsung Hero of India’s Freedom Struggle
Monday, 7th August 2023 Time:-10.00 am
Venue :Convocation Hall, University of Mumbai, Fort Campus.
National Seminar & Exhibition
Introduction
Vijnana Bharati and the Ministry of Culture have jointly planned a year long celebration on “Role of Scientists and Scientific Institutions in India’s Freedom Struggle” on the occasion of Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav. The Indian struggle for independence was truly a struggle to defend and secure the identity of the nation. Invaders imposed their identity either by force or deceit by obliterating the existing native scientific knowledge system of our nation. The British used Science as a tool for ruling India. It is essential to understand the efforts made by our scientists to achieve freedom through science and scientific work much ahead of the colonial thought process.

One of modern India’s greatest doers, Jamsetji Tata built everything from clean energy, glorious hotels, top-notch research institutions. In a country, fraught with colonialism, his deeds make an impact to this day. The reason being, there are people who to this date follow his last wishes,
“If you cannot make it greater, at least preserve it. Do not let things slide. Go on doing my work and increasing it but if you cannot, do not lose what we have already done.”
Join us, VIBHA and University of Mumbai, as we remember Jamsetji Tata, exactly 130 years after his memorable voyage with Swami Vivekananda.
