India is a dwelling place for different ethnic groups, those carrying distinct languages, traditions and socio-cultural structures with deeply imbued indigenous knowledge systems. These systems, which exist mostly in oral traditions, open up a plethora of opportunities, presenting Indic studies with immense and expansive scope.
The diverse cultural heritage of India is a repository of rich, inquisitive learning systems among those many ethnic communities which became not only the means for living but heralded the origin and development of observational research into varying facets of life. This, subsequently, led to a progressive cultivation of many culture systems and traditions, generation of faith, beliefs, practices and ideas. In due course, many fundamental analytical as well as experimental approaches were engendered into developmental methodologies and methods.
The extensive indigenous communities, having such affluent primordial knowledge systems leave their imprints in rich forms of expressions like the folk stories, songs, community rituals and activities, healing and other tacit knowledge. The paradigms pirouette with inquisitive, exploratory as well as fact-finding perspectives never cease to fascinate us. The knowledge continues to be transmitted verbally, as has been the practice since days of yore, and continues to the present day, being the easiest method of knowledge transmission ever.
“The Indic Way” is an endeavour to bring forward traditional conventions and practices from around the Indian subcontinent carrying aesthetic appeal of naturally originating facts, information and skills through practical understanding. It would strive to position the incredible culture diversity within the statement of the most organic and ingrained analysis with emphasis put on blended Indian ethos, studies, and patterns of subsistence as well as edifying social, cultural and intellectual dimensions.
The Indic Way would strive to bring forward elements of those cultural heritage that makes this land unique in her tryst with aesthetics of human consciousness.
