This is a ‘not for profit’ society registered under ‘society registration act XXI, 1860’.
Ideology & Objective:
Bharat (India) is the oldest civilization on this planet. All other ancient civilizations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, China) do not go beyond 4th millennium BC while Sindhu Saraswati Civilization (or Vedic Civilization) goes beyond 8th millennium BC, and is continued till this date despite a number of upheavals, aggressions and destructions, while, other great civilizations mentioned above are known only through historical and archaeological evidences. This is why, our great Ṝṣis named it as “Sanātan Sanskriti” or ‘Sanātana Dharma’ (the eternal culture/religion). A loby of western and leftist scholars is trying hard to degrade the significance and superiority of Indian Civilization, but majority of scholars have identified Bharat as the Cradle of Civilization, and the idea is gaining support world over.
There is almost a consensus among scholars that India could have achieved scientific and technological knowledge higher and deeper than the West, had it not been downtrodden by the invaders, particularly by Hunas and Muslims, after the Gupta-Age. There are sufficient evidences that Bharat was a step ahead of all other contemporary civilizations in all streams of knowledge and technique in the past.
Right from the beginning, the Indian Tradition of Scientific & Spiritual Knowledge, Indian system of Holistic Education and the Artistic/Aesthetic Values of India have been influencing the contemporary civilizations of the world.
Indians had mastered in physical and medical sciences, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, yoga and other streams of knowledge much earlier than any other civilization in the world. A number of theories, concepts and ideas we think today as contribution of the West, are, in fact, of the Indian origin and were adopted by several other civilizations in the past, but could not continue in India due to the long supressive reigns of aggressors.
We, the people of India, are the proud heir of this amazing, rich, multi-dimensional and all-inclusive culture which stands tallest among the cultural units of the world; therefore, it is expected from us to know it very well and act accordingly. If we wish to scale the sky, we must spread our roots deeper in to our own soil. The seeds of our progress will grow on our own land, not in the winds from east and west.
This is why, FACES has set its objective to make our young generation well acquainted with the Great Indian Culture and Tradition of Knowledge which has been neglected in the name of modernism and globalization for a long time, and as a result it is going out of the memory of our new generation.

This is simillar to a 'documentary' in respect of its informative contents and also simillar to a stage drama due to the format of its presentation. These plays are based on research works relatd to Historical-Archaeological findings, Museological Information on world-famous Sculptures and Monuments of India, Life and Work of Great Personalities of India; forgotten episodes of Indian Histoty, Culture and Civilization, Curricular topics and other subjects which might come within the scope of theatrical presentation.
