In the absence of sound history being taught in schools, some organizations are trying to provide an accurate portrayal in other ways. Eshan Sharma, founder of Karwaan, a student-led history collective, features free conversations with prominent historians, which are available online.
Founded in 2019 by Eshan Sharma, the idea behind Karwaan is to promote the knowledge of history among young minds and the general public and inspire them to be inquisitive and committed to this field, as well as to make people understand the importance of heritage and history. To unshackle history from its inaccessibility roots and take it straight to the masses, we began our journey as an independent students’ collective at Delhi University. Karwaan is actively working towards breaking the stereotypes of academic disciplines and keeping the public engaged with critical conversations about our past, present, and future.
“I would like to congratulate Karwaan Heritage for making our rich multi-layered history more accessible to the public. I hope you continue to work towards bringing people together through our shared heritage. I wish you the very best for your future endeavours.”
