India has an ancient and glorious tradition of knowledge and education. If it is merged as an academic subject with the modern education system, then this experiment will prove to be beneficial for the entire humanity. Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said this during an online session from his residence on Wednesday. He said that with the coming of the British rulers, India has paid a lot of attention to the development of modern education and English. During this period the Indian knowledge tradition stored in Sanskrit language has been badly neglected. Now the time has come for Indian scholars, especially some universities, to make efforts to combine this modern knowledge tradition and modern education system of India. If such a serious effort is made, it will be a beneficial experiment for the whole world. He said that it is also my own wish that I should approach some universities for this. He said that India is the second most populous country in the world. Despite this, there is a lot of peace and harmony among all religions. Values like non-violence and compassion are deeply ingrained in the thousands of years old tradition. To keep all such values alive for eternity, it is absolutely necessary to combine India’s ancient knowledge tradition and modern education system as an academic subject rather than a religious one.India has an ancient and glorious tradition of knowledge and education.
