The book Knowledge Tradition Inherent in Indian Heritage presents a timely and thoughtful engagement with the evolving relationship between India’s rich civilizational wisdom and the transformative potential of contemporary technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. At a moment when the world is grappling with questions of sustainability, ethics, and cultural continuity, this volume offers a meaningful framework for integrating ancient knowledge systems with modern innovation.

Indian knowledge traditions have long embodied a holistic worldview where philosophy, science, spirituality, and daily life are deeply interconnected. This work highlights how such traditions, rooted in concepts like Dharma, the fourfold pursuits of life, and profound metaphysical insights such as Māyā, continue to hold relevance in addressing present-day challenges. The book thoughtfully situates these ideas within current discourses including human rights, sustainability, and education.

A distinctive feature of this volume is its interdisciplinary approach. The chapters explore how artificial intelligence can support the preservation, promotion, and ethical dissemination of Indian heritage, from AI-driven e-commerce platforms and digital marketing of handloom products to sustainable tourism and heritage management.

The work also critically reflects on issues of intellectual sovereignty and the need to reclaim indigenous knowledge systems from colonial frameworks, particularly through discussions on Gurukul pedagogy and decolonial thought. By bringing together themes of technology, philosophy, culture, and policy, this book creates a dialogue that is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking.

The volume underscores that innovation need not come at the cost of identity, and that ancient wisdom can meaningfully inform digital futures. It will serve as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in the intersection of Indian heritage and emerging technologies.
