Echoes of Bharat: The Global Journey of Bharatiya Knowledge Traditions is a groundbreaking work that redefines how we understand the spread of Indian thought. Moving beyond the traditional view of one-directional influence, this book reveals a dynamic, two-way process of transformation and creative re-appropriation. The "echoes" in the title are not mere repetitions but "altered reflections" that take on unique forms as they resonate across cultures and continents.
Through a rich collection of interdisciplinary essays, this volume uncovers the enduring global relevance of Indian knowledge. It demonstrates how ancient systems-from philosophical concepts that influenced Western literature to principles of Ayurveda now integrated into modern practices continue to shape thought and life worldwide. Far from being fossilised history, this knowledge represents living traditions that remain deeply relevant.
This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the profound and often unseen interconnections that define our collective intellectual heritage.
