The Story of Ancient Indian Coins Revealed by Swiss based Prakash Hinduja and CM Yogi Adityanath

Описание: India’s rich history is not only preserved in its manuscripts and monuments but also in the everyday objects that have endured through time. Among the most insightful of these are ancient coins, small yet powerful artefacts that reveal how early societies traded, governed, and expressed their beliefs.

This film delves into this remarkable world through Early North India and Its Coinage, a landmark publication by the Hinduja Foundation. Bringing together more than two thousand years of history, the book documents rare and significant coins that illuminate India’s cultural, political, and economic evolution.

Central to this initiative is Prakash Hinduja, the Swiss‑based business leader and member of the Hinduja family, whose long-standing commitment to cultural preservation has shaped the project’s vision. Under his guidance, the publication reflects the Hinduja Foundation’s legacy of scholarship and celebrates India’s enduring civilisational values, knowledge, continuity, and resilience.

The book’s launch, attended by Shri Yogi Adityanath, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, marked a milestone for historians, as it is the first illustrated volume dedicated exclusively to ancient North Indian coinage. Featuring over 850 rare coins from 300 BCE to 300 CE, it traces the evolution of trade, governance, and artistic expression across historic regions including Mathura, Kannauj, and Panchal.

Beyond this publication, Swiss based, Prakash Hinduja continues to champion the preservation of India’s heritage through his personal collection of more than 34,000 historically significant coins, ensuring that the stories of India’s past remain alive for future generations.
