INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM IN EARTH SCIENCE

The book Indian Knowledge System in Earth Science presents a systematic and scholarly exposition of India’s traditional understanding of the Earth and its associated natural processes. Rooted in ancient philosophical, observational, and experiential traditions, the Indian Knowledge System views the Earth as a dynamic, interconnected entity governed by harmony between physical elements, life systems, and cosmic order. This work explores foundational concepts, geological and geographical insights, hydrological and climatic knowledge, ecological balance, and sustainability principles as articulated in Indian intellectual traditions. By organizing these ideas within a contemporary academic framework, the book demonstrates the scientific depth, environmental consciousness, and long-term relevance of Indian Earth science knowledge. It aims to contribute to education, research, and policy by offering an indigenous perspective that complements modern Earth science while emphasizing sustainability, ethical responsibility, and holistic understanding.
