Alok da, if we had to convince a rational, modern educated person about the significance of traditional Indian knowledge, we could cite examples of how our civilisation, arts and sciences flourished. But if the question is “so what if India indeed had a great knowledgeable history, how is returning to this knowledge relevant today”, “what is it that India can give to the education system of the world”, what should be the answer🤨?
