Bharatiya Gyaan Parampara, Sankalpanein aur Pashchimi Anveshan: ¿¿¿ ¿¿ / Bodh se Shodh Tak

Was ancient Indian thought confined only to spirituality and metaphysical inquiry? From Research to Realization is a compelling effort to challenge this long-imposed colonial narrative and contribute to the decolonization of the Indian mind. More than a compilation of historical facts, this book presents a rational and evidence-based exploration of the vast ocean of ancient Indian knowledge, where science and spirituality were never viewed as opposing forces, but as complementary dimensions of understanding.The book weaves together authentic evidence on the 64 traditional arts (Chatushashti Kalas), the philosophical foundations of the Vedas, Aryabhata's contributions to mathematics, Sushruta's pioneering work in surgery, and the remarkable nanostructural properties of Wootz steel. It also demonstrates how Advaita Vedanta and the Sanskrit language inspired renowned Western thinkers such as Arthur Schopenhauer, Erwin Schrödinger, and Werner Heisenberg. At the same time, the book offers a candid and critical examination of the factors, including the monopolization of knowledge, untouchability, and intellectual stagnation, that contributed to the decline of this once-flourishing tradition.In the light of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, as India reconnects with its civilizational roots, this book serves as an essential reference for researchers, educators, students, and every Indian who takes pride in the nation's rich intellectual heritage. Join us on this journey to rediscover and understand India through its own civilizational lens.
