Indian Knowledge Systems
India is the foundation of number of practices in almost every field from Arts to Astronomy, Commerce to Culture, Mathematics to Management, Pure Sciences to Medical Sciences, Spirituality to Sustainability, Languages to Natural Language Processing, Ayurveda to Astrology, Agriculture to Artisans, Warfare to Weaponry, 4 ~isms viz Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism & Sikhism and many more.
India, unfortunately, fell short in documenting and promoting the things we pioneered. Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) have been establishing the importance of these inventions and interventions for years BCE.
IKS has a holistic approach in intertwining intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual development. The ancient Vedas, Upanishads, and other Vedic literature emphasize Indian Traditions. IKS has ancient and proven, perfect and structured ways of transferring knowledge from generation to generation. IKS integrates ancient wisdom with modern-day global societal challenges. India has always been a pioneer in various aspects of life such as education, arts, administration, law, justice, health, manufacturing, and commerce. Most importantly, IKS has always focused on values and ethics.
India was known to be the “Sone ki Chidiya” (Golden Bird) not only due to wealth and gold mines but also its profound inventory of knowledge and resources. Most of the fundamental concepts and innovations are proven to have originated in India from the era of Bharatvarsh.
