INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM: POST-COLONIALISM AND GLOBALIZATION ERA

Abstract

The Indian knowledge system is a living, evolving tradition that has consistently modified itself to fit various historical eras while retaining its fundamental ideas. To develop a more comprehensive and well-rounded teaching strategy, attempts are currently being made to incorporate this ancient knowledge with contemporary education. Its segments draw attention to how the mind, body, and spirit are all intertwined. Comprehending and conserving the Indian knowledge system cultivates cultural identity, facilitates intercultural communication, and enhances global viewpoints across diverse fields. This paper aims to understand the concept of the Indian Knowledge System and its situation Post-colonial period and Globalization era. For this purpose, desk research was done and a conceptual study was made. It was found that efforts to revive and integrate traditional practices in education aimed to counteract the negative impact of colonialism on the Indian knowledge System. In the era of globalization, there is a delicate balance between preserving traditional knowledge and adapting to global trends. The challenge lies in navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing world while staying rooted in cultural heritage.
