India’s ancient sciences encompass a broad range of systems of knowledge that have gradually changed or evolved over thousands of years including Ayurveda, Mathematics, Philosophy, Astronomy, etc. Ayurveda as the ancient medical system puts a thrust upon harmony of mind-body-spirit and holistic bodily treatments. Aryabhatta’s contributions to mathematics and astronomy; Chanakya’s contributions to political science and governance through scriptures like Arthashastra throws light upon the ancient Indian sciences and legacy of Indian intellects that serve as a source of influence for contemporary disciplines in modern India. From the deep philosophical knowledge of Vedanta to the profound practices of Ayurveda, sciences, mathematics, architecture, etc. have sustained societies for millennia spanning across various domains of human endeavours. |
