Oneindia

India’s civilisational wisdom is stepping back into global focus. At the Global Indology Conclave, scholars, spiritual leaders and knowledge institutions came together to redefine how India studies itself—and how the world studies India.    From PM Modi’s G20 vision to NEP 2020's integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), the conclave showcased India’s rise as a civilisational thought leader. The Adani Group announced a landmark ₹100 crore contribution to revive Indology, build global centres of Indian studies and digitise ancient knowledge archives. With a five-year ₹13.16 crore research programme supporting 14 Ph.D. scholars, the initiative aims to reclaim India’s intellectual narrative.    Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Ji reminded that true knowledge must carry sanskars, while Arun Govil and Nitish Bharadwaj revisited the leadership lessons of Lord Rama and Krishna. From Yoga and Ayurveda to linguistics, astronomy and cultural diplomacy — Indology is becoming India’s global soft power.    The conclave marks a civilisational shift: from being interpreted by others to becoming the interpreter.  A moment of identity, pride, and India’s knowledge resurgence.    #GlobalIndologyConclave #Indology #IndianKnowledgeSystems #IKS #CivilisationalRevival #GautamAdani #AdaniGroup #IndianCulture #IndianCivilisation #NEP2020 #Nalanda #SoftPowerIndia #VedicKnowledge #SanskritStudies #BharatRising #KnowledgeGraph #CulturalDiplomacy #IndianPhilosophy #Ayurveda #YogaForTheWorld  ~ED.194~HT.408~
