Indian Knowledge System (IKS): Its Implications in Social Life

Author(s) Dr. Shyam Mamud Barbhuiya
Country India
Abstract The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is a comprehensive idea rooted in the cultural, philosophical, and scientific heritage of ancient India. While the term "IKS" is modern, its foundations lie in ancient scriptures like the Vedas, Upanishads, and Darshanas, which collectively shaped a systematic, dynamic, and practice-based approach to knowledge transmission. IKS is anchored in the core pillars of Gnyan (knowledge), Vignyan (science), and Jeevan Darshan (philosophy of life) promoting real-world application. It emphasizes holistic development, integrating physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being through concepts like Dharma, Karma, Yoga, and Ahimsa. The six schools of orthodox Hindu philosophy offer diverse perspectives on reality, ethics, and self-realization. These philosophies underpin societal values, sustainable living, and personal responsibility, aligning life with nature and universal order. Ayurveda and Vedanta represent the health and spiritual dimensions of IKS, advocating balance, natural healing, and inner awakening. Practices like yoga and meditation facilitate self-discipline, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. Key ethical principles such as Ahimsa (non-violence) and Seva (selfless service) encourage compassion and social harmony. The ideals of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam ("The world is one family") and global interconnectedness are central to IKS, promoting peace, inclusivity, and respect for diversity. Recognized in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, IKS is now being reintegrated into modern academia for its interdisciplinary insights and relevance in addressing contemporary challenges. By bridging traditional wisdom with modern thought, the Indian Knowledge System fosters a balanced, sustainable, and meaningful way of life. It not only honours India’s intellectual legacy but also serves as a transformative tool for both individual evolution and societal well-being.
