In an attempt to promote access to these areas, the Head of the Gojri Wing of Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, Dr. Javaid Rahi has created a project to translate rare works in English, Persian and Sanskrit into Gojri (the language of one tribe out of the 573 recognized tribal population of India). His major goal is that his work, will spark translations in other tribal languages.
This project is to be finished by 2010, and in my opinion, will be the beginnings of India's Second (perhaps) Renaissance. India's economy is already flourishing, so is its population, and with the spread of ideas through translating classics the outcome of these combinations seems wholly reminiscent of Italy's Renaissance. Who is to say?

Great post! A few questions... Why do you think this is valuable and important? In what order to you expect the renaissance to occur, and perhaps, when? What other things do you see contributing to the development of this renaissance, potentially? Overall, good job! I enjoyed your post.
