Ram Aggarwall founded All India Arts in 2007. He has long been involved in generating and implementing successful projects that contribute to upholding Indian cultural values and Indian heritage. This passion was recognised at the 24th Indian Congress of non-resident Indians and in 2005 he was awarded the Hind Ratan Award for outstanding service achievements. He is also involved with a charity, which is primarily concerned with water projects, micro banking and regeneration of poor villages.

His love for Mother India inspired and led him to undertake this unique art project. He feels very strongly that we should have the courage to remember Indian history without any shame and use this knowledge to avoid mistakes made in the past.

‘As an Indian I feel what is lacking in Indians all over the world is awareness and a real appreciation of their own culture and history. We all share such a rich and unique heritage, one that is not being fully comprehended and valued. This is partly because it is not being recorded and passed on to the next generations. It is also because we are not investing time and our energy into making sure of this. I strongly believe that we stand too much to loose if we do not take the time and put effort to increase our awareness about our own culture, heroes, historical events and pass this valuable and awesome knowledge on. This is the fundamental thought behind the conceptualisation of collection of All India Arts.’
