**Reviving Roots: Perspectives on Indian Knowledge Systems** is a thought-provoking book that delves into the richness and relevance of India’s traditional knowledge systems. It brings together diverse perspectives from scholars, educators, and practitioners to explore how ancient Indian wisdom—in fields such as Ayurveda, astronomy, philosophy, linguistics, education, mathematics, and ecology—can be integrated into contemporary academic and societal contexts.
The book emphasizes that Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) are not relics of the past but living traditions that offer valuable insights for sustainable living, ethical development, and holistic education. It advocates for a balanced blend of modern scientific inquiry with indigenous knowledge, showing how this integration can foster critical thinking, cultural pride, and responsible citizenship.
Aligned with the vision of India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, *Reviving Roots* provides actionable insights on incorporating IKS into curricula and pedagogy. Each chapter is crafted to inspire readers to reconnect with India’s intellectual heritage while addressing present-day challenges in education, environment, and ethics.
This book is an essential resource for educators, students, researchers, and policymakers seeking to create a future where tradition and innovation coexist meaningfully, and where knowledge is rooted in both wisdom and relevance.
