About Us

FACT was started in 2003 by Francois Gautier, a french author and journalist, who has been covering India and South Asia for the last 35 years. All throughout his reporting years, he noticed that most western correspondents were projecting the problems, warts and shortcomings of India. Hence when Francois Gautier got a journalism prize (Natchiketa Award of excellence in journalism) from the Prime Minister of India, he used the prize money to mount a series of conferences & exhibitions highlighting the magnificence of India and the threats to its sovereignty.

FACT is currently building a Museum of Indian History at Lohgaon in Pune.

Our Work

FACT creates Awareness Campaigns, Conferences, Exhibitions, Films and Papers on Art, Culture, History & Human Rights abuses.
