Enlightening the Mind: DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING IN MODERN EDUCATION VS. INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS.DE

Education is not merely the process of acquiring information; it is the journey of transforming the mind into an instrument of inquiry, wisdom, and understanding. In the twenty-first century, the world is witnessing rapid technological advancement, globalization, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation. These changes demand individuals who can think critically, solve complex problems, question assumptions, and make informed decisions.Critical thinking has therefore emerged as one of the most important competencies in modern education. Educational institutions across the world emphasize analytical reasoning, creativity, innovation, evidence-based thinking, and logical interpretation. However, while modern education systems focus heavily on scientific reasoning and cognitive development, there exists another rich intellectual tradition that has cultivated reflective and critical inquiry for thousands of years - the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS).The Indian Knowledge Systems encompass ancient philosophies, educational methods, logic, ethics, spirituality, mathematics, linguistics, medicine, governance, and scientific traditions developed in India over centuries.
