This book begins with a simple but profound question:
Why is the Indian Knowledge System, with its immense depth and diversity, so little known - even to Indians?
For centuries, India's intellectual legacy has been fragmented, neglected, or misrepresented - not because it lacked merit, but because colonial and modern education systems sidelined indigenous narratives. The time has now come, as envisioned by the National Education Policy 2020, to reclaim that narrative - with pride, with evidence, and with purpose.
Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) are not just historical curiosities. They are blueprints of how a civilization thought, lived, governed, healed, built, calculated, composed, and philosophized. They offer us a window into a worldview where knowledge was sacred, education was holistic, and learning was inseparable from life itself.
This book is not a mere compilation of facts. It is an invitation - to explore forgotten manuscripts, reawaken oral traditions, analyze ancient technologies, and rediscover the profound wisdom encoded in India's languages, arts, rituals, and sciences.
Through chapters anchored in the officially prescribed syllabus and guided by UGC recommendations, this work seeks to bridge past and present - offering students, teachers, and curious minds a systematic yet soul-stirring journey through India's knowledge heritage.
