Jahan e Khusrau a cultural bridge for humanity

The core objective for which the Rumi Foundation is formed is to establish, promote, and support education systems and cultural institutions that foster global oneness through creative art forms.  To achieve this, our work is focused on the following key areas:

​

• Arts, Film & Media: We undertake, produce, and support a wide array of creative works, including documentaries, feature films, and television serials. A central aim is the establishment of a Rumi Film Festival and a Film and Communications Arts Institute to further these goals.
   

• Interfaith Understanding: A key objective is to present and promote the human face of Islam to build bridges of understanding. We create and distribute publications on interfaith icons from all religions and highlight existing examples of unity in multi-ethnic and multi-faith communities.
   

• Education & Self-Reliance: We work to modernize Madarsa education with a dual focus on a modern viewpoint of the Quran and a Quranic vision of modern knowledge. We also support grassroots education in rural India to create self-reliance and counter fundamentalist education.
   

• Traditional Arts & Crafts: We are dedicated to the promotion and development of traditional Indian handicrafts and handlooms. We provide training, design, marketing, and tools to artisans, taking inspiration from traditional Sufi art to preserve the composite culture of India.
