UNESCO Adds Rajatarangini, Mahabharata and Arthashastra to Memory of the World Register
Three landmark works of India's literary heritage have been included in UNESCO's Memory of the World Regional Register. The honoured texts are Kalhana's Rajatarangini, the Mahabharata, and Kautilya's Arthashastra. Their inscription recognises their contributions to India's historical writing, intellectual traditions and thinking on governance. The move comes after India received similar regional register recognitions for other literary works in 2024. The wider initiative seeks to protect and digitise India's manuscript heritage for coming generations.
