Abstract

The educational landscape in India is poised for a significant transformation through the adoption of the National Education Policy 2020, which aims to instil a sense of pride and rootedness in Indian culture and knowledge systems among students. This paper delves into the need for a paradigm shift in education, emphasizing the incorporation of Indian Knowledge Traditions (IKT) into the curriculum. The aim is to facilitate the holistic development of students by imbibing values, ethics, and wisdom from ancient Indian texts and philosophies. The paper underscores the historical contributions of India to various fields, such as mathematics, science, medicine, and philosophy, often overlooked due to the influence of Western education. The urgency to integrate IKT arises from the gaps in the modern education system, which predominantly emphasizes specialized skills rather than holistic personality development. The benefits of integrating IKT are manifold, including nurturing cultural awareness, fostering a positive sense of identity, and promoting ethical decision-making. The paper underscores the role of educational boards like NCERT, ICSE, and NIOS in developing dedicated IKT courses, which can also be offered through online platforms. To realize these goals, collaboration with traditional scholars and experts, training of teachers in IKT, and interdisciplinary research are proposed.

期刊介绍： Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
