Online E learning Portal

In July 2017, E learning portal was launched on Infinity Foundation website. The courses available on this portal would fill the gap between the needs of serious followers who read the books of Rajiv Malhotra and the casual ones who prefer to follow his online talks, articles etc. People who want to learn systematically and don’t want to read heavy books would be best served by this portal.

So far two courses have been launched: (1) Introduction to Rajiv Malhotra’s key vocabulary & major concepts (2) Swadeshi Indology. The plan is to systematically catalogue all of Rajiv’s work in the courses. The team is now busy migrating the system to a new platform that will be bigger and more robust. These courses will be offered for free initially. Generous donations are expected from well-wishers because funding is required to continue this work.
