Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is a culmination of multiple efforts of the authors to fill in the gap for offering a required course on Indian Knowledge System (IKS), recently mandated by AICTE. Moreover, the New Education Policy (NEP) has also provided a clear trajectory for imparting IKS in the higher education curriculum, necessitating a book of this kind in several higher education institutions in the country in the days to come. The book seeks to introduce the epistemology and ontology of IKS to the Engineering and Science students in a way they can relate, appreciate and explore further should there be a keen interest in the matter. After a brief section on the key concepts of IKS, the remaining part of the book traces IKS and brings out the applications. After a formal and concise introduction to IKS, the book provides certain foundational concepts applicable across all domains of Science and Engineering. These form the second part. The Science applications are laid out in Part 3, Engineering applications in Part 4 and other important topics in the final part of the book. The authors have rich expertise and background in both 'mainstream issues' and 'traditional knowledge' to present IKS in a contextually relevant fashion. They have delicately balanced the 'why' or 'how' of IKS and the 'what' of IKS. Although the book has been primarily developed for use by the Engineering institutions, the structure and the contents also address the requirement in other University systems (Liberal Arts, Medicine, Science and Management). This textbook incorporates several pedagogical features including a companion website https://www.phindia.com/ introduction_to_indian_knowledge_system that will make learning effective and enjoyable for the students.

Download or read book Globalizing Indian Thought written by Debashis Chatterjee and published by SAGE Publishing India. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching principle that once integrated India’s institutions is often described by the word ‘dharma’. The notion of dharma goes well beyond what is known as ‘rule of law’. Rule of law is about publicly disclosed legal codes and processes. Dharma, on the other hand, is the holding principle that encompasses the whole of nature, including human nature. Dharma is much more nuanced and yet, paradoxically, more unambiguous than rule of law. The research presented in Globalizing Indian Thought tells us that India will do well to hark back to its ‘sanatana dharma’. The book decodes and deliberates on a few big ideas with the hope to shape India’s story on the world stage. It would be of interest to anyone who wishes to know how we can bring in ideas that are inherently Indian to broaden the discourse on matters of national and international importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Indic civilization starts with the pursuit of happiness and the role of sensory-motor experience in it. While probing the source of this joy, ancient Indian ṛṣis delve deep into the laboratories of human existence and discover a new state – one that provides happiness of very large magnitudes. However, this discovery presents a strange conundrum: the sensory joys we are all familiar with, prevent progress into the new treasure house. Humans are unwilling to leave the bird in the hand for the golden bird deep in the cave. How do the ṛṣis respond? The key to the solution emerges from the ṛṣis’ discovery of the laws of cyclicity in nature. Harnessing the tailwinds of prakṛti behind them, the ṛṣis take humanity on a voyage to happiness deep within – the ātma-sukha, without having to forsake indriya sukha. With this as the foundation, ṛṣis develop systematic frameworks brick-by-brick to build the grand edifice that we know today as the Indic civilization. The story of their achievements weaves through grand temples, scholarly universities, vibrant festivals, delightful cuisine, mesmerizing arts, and finally, the civilizational state called bhārata. Its prized scientific and artistic advancements, including yoga, āyurveda, mathematics, astronomy, vedas, purāṇas, itihāsas, kāvyas, śāstras, citra, śilpa alike, are all products of this quest for happiness, rather than a mere passive curiosity about the external world… In the midst of a renaissance in Indic Knowledge Systems & Heritage (IKS&H), we see innumerable sources - both digital and print, providing us with copious information, facts, and trivia on IKS&H. However, a conceptual understanding of the basics is hard to come by. In this book, we present SaMIKSHa - Śrīraṅga Model of Indian Knowledge Systems and Heritage, a systematic framework for understanding the basic building blocks of IKS&H. Join us in this book voyage of 256 pages, 64 chapters, 64 illustrations, and more than 70 curiosity boxes and activities that takes you through a unique educational experience…

Download or read book Integrating the Indian Knowledge System into Legal Education A Systematic Review written by KHRITISH SWARGIARY and published by GOOGLE. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review paper systematically examines the integration of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) into legal education, aiming to decolonize and diversify the legal curriculum in India. The study explores the historical context, theoretical frameworks, benefits, challenges, barriers, and implications of incorporating IKS into legal education. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, PubMed, and SSRN, resulting in the selection of studies published between 1980 and 2023. The findings reveal significant colonial impacts on Indian legal education, leading to the marginalization of IKS. Empirical studies highlight the cultural relevance, justice promotion, and professional competence benefits of IKS integration, while also identifying challenges such as resource scarcity, lack of documentation, and institutional resistance. Key barriers include inadequate faculty training and limited awareness. Proposed solutions involve comprehensive documentation, specialized training programs, interdisciplinary courses, and awareness campaigns. The integration of IKS in legal education promotes a more inclusive and equitable legal system, enhances cultural sensitivity, and fosters higher ethical standards. Recommendations for future research and policy initiatives include conducting interdisciplinary research, increasing funding, fostering collaborations with indigenous communities, using digital platforms, and implementing pilot programs to facilitate successful integration.

Download or read book Traditional and Indigenous Knowledge for the Modern Era written by David R. Katerere and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is talk of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, old and new challenges bedevil the world – climate change, nutrition, and health poverty being at the top of the list. In seeking solutions to these and other problems which afflict the modern era, it is worthwhile to look into our collective past, to the traditions and knowledges of our ancestors. Such knowledge continues to exist in many parts of the world, though now marginalized by homogenous, Eurocentric ontolology and epistemology. This book presents a compilation of reviews, case studies, and primary research attempting to locate the utility of traditional and Indigenous Knowledges in an increasingly complex world. It assembles chapter authors from across the world to tackle topics ranging from traditional knowledge-based innovations and commercialization, traditional medicine systems as practiced around the world, ethnoveterinary practices, and food innovation to traditional governance and leadership systems, among others. This book is an important resource for policymakers; scholars and researchers of cultural studies, leadership, governance, ethnobotany, anthropology, plant genetic resources and technology innovation; and readers interested in the history of knowledge and culture, as well as cultural activists and political scientists. Features: Unique combination of social science and anthropological aspects with natural science perspectives Includes summaries aimed at policymakers to immediately see what would be relevant to their work Combines case studies illuminating important lessons learned with reviews and primary data Multidisciplinary in the scope of the topics tackled and assemblage of contributors Global footprint with contributions from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia, and the West Indies David R.
