A Collaborative Learning Space to Promote and Popularize Ancient Indian Sciences and Knowledge Traditions.
Why IKS Hub?
Research has pointed out that India has been an economic powerhouse for close to two millenia, up until the period of invasions and colonization. This would have certainly been impossible without a value-positive and cohesive society that was empowered by rich knowledge traditions.
It is important to re-awaken Indians to the richness of the Indian scientific tradition. The IKS Hub is a platform to popularise and communicate Indian Knowledge Systems by bringing together experts, learners, educators and citizens. It will be a place of congregation of various knowledge systems that will benefit humanity and guide progress along Dharmic lines.
Through mainstream education, we are introduced to Pythagoras, Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Newton, Mendeleev, Einstein and many such tall figures of science. While their contributions are invaluable, we only gain a Euro-centric narrative to development of human thought and scientific breakthroughs.
Beginning through the Vedic era up until recent times, Indian thinkers, linguists and scientists have bolstered breakthroughs in numerous fields.
This IKS Hub will help all to get equally acquainted with the contributions of Vedic seers, Patanjali, Vyāsa, Pāṇini, Piṅgala, Kapila, Suśruta, Caraka, Kaṇāda, Gotama, Āryabhaṭa, Vāgbhaṭa, Bhāskarācārya and many more.
