Dr. K. M. Munshi, gifted with prescience and foresight, opined that India's cultural history and heritage, its scientific contributions to the world, its languages and literature and ethical values will not get their due place in the society under the shadow of western culture after independence. He established Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan to preserve, promote and disseminate Sanskrit and Sankriti- the wisdom path shown by the visionary sages, the moral law which stands for social and national values, and the ideals like Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam for international harmony resulting in peace and sustainable progress.
