The Khusro Foundation, a testament to visionary leadership and unwavering commitment, was established on the 3rd of February 2021 by four renowned citizens of India: Mr. Sirajuddin Qureshi, Prof. Akhtarul Wasey, Mr. Rohit Khera, and Mr. Ranjan Mukherjee. With their profound expertise, resolute commitment, and relentless pursuit of progress, they came together to establish a foundation that aspires to empower communities, foster intellectual growth, and promote a harmonious society.
Their collective leadership and firm determination serve as the cornerstone of the Khusro Foundation which embodies excellence, compassion, and transformative impact on the lives of countless individuals.
The Khusro Foundation, bearing the name of the renowned Sufi, poet, and musical maestro Hazrat Amir Khusro (1253-1325), epitomizes a deep reverence for Indian heritage and a commitment to reviving the age-old traditions of love, respect for rituals, understanding, and cooperation among people of diverse religions, cultures, and languages. Drawing
inspiration from the remarkable poet soldier’s admiration for India and its people.
The Foundation embarks on a noble mission to foster national solidarity and amity under the following 7-point Objectives of the Foundation :
1. To ideate, generate and disseminate correct information regarding Islam, counter-motivated and ill-informed perceptions.
2. To generate quality literature in Urdu, Hindi, and other languages to motivate, integrate, and unite the people of India.
3. To promote communal harmony, tolerance, and understanding among people subscribing to diverse faith systems, religious practices, ethnic identities, cultural backgrounds, etc. Promote a culture of pluralism where diversity is respected and not resented.
4. To create a nationwide awareness of the dire need for AMITY AND NATIONAL SOLIDARITY.
5. Spread the message of unity and communal harmony by using various Mass Media Platforms.

7. Focus on the youth to prevent them from being used by extremist or violent groups. Promote self-esteem, positivity, and self-confidence in them and inculcate a deep sense of national pride.
To realize this goal, the Khusro Foundation has already published eleven books in Urdu and Hindi during the last two years and organized book-released programs, national seminars, cultural programs, and conferences on relevant issues before the community and country at different parts of the country so far. More books and upcoming programs are in the pipeline.
These publications serve as conduits for disseminating the ideals cherished by the Foundation and cover a wide range of significant topics that resonate with our society.
Additionally, the Foundation has organized numerous impactful programs, addressing pertinent issues crucial to the fabric of our nation.
The first book, titled; “Hindustan ki Sharai Haisiyat” (India’s Position as per Islamic Jurisprudence), authored by Dr. Zafar Darik Qasmi.

To fulfill our vision, we seek the support and patronage of all individuals invested in fostering genuine bonds among the diverse sections of our multi-religious, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual India. Together, let
us embark on this noble journey, inspired by the ideals of Hazrat Amir Khusro, and forge a future where unity and understanding reign supreme.
At this point, it is important to say that this historical meeting of His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Abdulkarim Bin Al-Issa and Shri. Ajit Doval rightfully replicates the meeting of Jupiter and Venus as mentioned in the Mathnavi 9 spheres of Amir Khusro. The Khusro Foundation is committed to promoting national integrity and harmony through the production of literature, conferences, symposiums, lectures, etc. The Khusro Foundation further aims to conduct more and more such events on a Pan-Indian level to promote the syncretic culture of India.
The upcoming program on 11th July 2023 will prove to be an asset for the harmony that we aspire to achieve through the Khusro Foundation. We have shared and presented the thought and objectives of the Khusro Foundation in the faces of books to several writers, scholars, and readers who have praised and synced with our work. This program will spread a remarkable message to the World. Together we can achieve harmony and peaceful existence ahead.
