Bharat boasts a rich and ancient knowledge system that has thrived for millennia. This vast knowledge encompasses various fields, forming a holistic view of the universe and the human experience. The key feature of the Bhartiya Knowledge System is a seamless connection between finite and infinite. It views the universe, including the human body and mind, as a unified whole. As science deals with the physical dimensions and does not have concepts or tools to fathom non-physical dimensions, the Bhartiya Knowledge System emphasizes harmony with nature and innate experience, not memorization. Much knowledge was transmitted orally through stories, songs, and rituals from generation to generation for use in daily life and well-being. Unlike in the West, in Bharat, questions of existence, consciousness, and liberation are routinely discussed in families, schools, colleges, and universities. Practices and beliefs aimed at self-realization and freedom are central to the Bhartiya Knowledge System. The National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes integrating the Bhartiya (Indian) Knowledge System with modern education systems for a more well-rounded learning experience.
