Indian National Academy of Civilizational Studies (INACS) organized a discussion on the book "Tatya Tope's Operation Red Lotus" in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India on 8th May 2010. The book has been written by Tatya Tope's fourth generation descendant Parag Tope and published by Rupa Publications. In this book Parag Topé and the Topé family have presented the story of Tatya and the Anglo-Indian War of 1857 after spending more than two years in and out of various archives and libraries, poring over volumes of source material, translating original letters, picking-up the threads of a scattered Tatya Topé family and piecing together a complex puzzle of 1857. The students of JNU show their interest in the book by participating in the discussion held in SIS Committee room. 

Initiating the discussion Parag Tope said that the important words "Azadi to chand dino ki baat hai" were pronounced by Sardar Vallabhai Patel on 20 February 1946, two days after the events that forced England to withdraw from India. In the months to follow the English were removed from India and India secured political freedom. These forgotten events are recalled in Operation Red Lotus and provide a backdrop for a similar call made exactly 89 years and 5 months before this day.

The conference is being organized in the background of civilisational studies in India, its historical evolution, an assessment of previous and current efforts, and makes a case for changing the direction in order to realize the full potential of the intrinsic strengths of the Indic civilisational complex towards the qualitative betterment of life in India and the world.

One of the first steps towards the indianisation of the civilisational studies is to build a professional learned society of Indic scholars who need a common platform to come together and share their research work in the form of published formal papers. The objective of the current endeavor is to build such a professional learned society.
