History For The Future | Ashish Solekar | TEDxChinchwad

Описание: History is often taught as a list of dates, dynasties, and exams to clear—but what if history could feel alive, relatable, and deeply personal? In this engaging TEDxChinchwad talk, Ashish Selokar invites the audience to rediscover Indian history beyond textbooks and timelines.

A storyteller and entrepreneur from Maharashtra, Ashish works at the intersection of history, culture, and modern storytelling. As a founding member of Itihas Yatra, he focuses on making Indian history and Indian knowledge systems accessible in Marathi, using formats that connect naturally with today’s audiences.

This talk is for students, creators, and curious minds who want to understand India’s past in a fresh way. By exploring forgotten narratives and cultural context, Ashish shows why history is not just about what happened—but about who we are, where we come from, and how our past continues to shape our present.

Ashish Selokar is a storyteller and entrepreneur dedicated to bringing Indian history and cultural memory closer to contemporary audiences through modern storytelling.
