Abstract

The NEP, 2020 have built up some new insights to rethink the education system of India. After many debates and controversies, this fresh policy has turn out as having a wider reflection of Indian Knowledge System. The Indian Knowledge System includes a vast range of disciplines which includes, philosophy, mathematics, social sciences, physical sciences, engineering etc. and specifically the traditional knowledge which are too much relevant and still not have the importance as it should be. So, NEP, 2020 basically develops the idea of integration by giving the example of sixty-four kalās from the Vātsāyana’s Kāmasūtra. This paper will discuss about the perspective of ancient Indian wisdom with a systematic review of some antique treasures which will surely justify if the concept diversity and integration was really there in ancient Indian education system and how this can be relatable at present.
