Revisiting Indian Knowledge Systems

When we speak of Indian knowledge, what worlds are we leaving out? Revisiting Indian Knowledge Systems: Insights from Northeast India boldly answers this question, pulling back the curtain on a rich and complex universe of thought. This interdisciplinary volume takes us through the mountains and valleys of the Northeast, gathering insights from diverse fields. Here, you'll find ancient ecological wisdom that predates modern environmentalism, profound social structures that foster community resilience, and folklore that speaks to universal human truths. By blending science, humanities, and indigenous voices, this book doesn't just contribute to the conversation—it redefines it, showing that the Northeast is not on the margins but at the very centre of India's intellectual heart.
