The Anveshaka Spirit
R R Tiwari · Motilal Banarsidass International
What does it mean to possess a scientific temper ? Is it merely the product of modern laboratories and experimental science, or is it a deeper habit of mind – a willingness to question, observe, reason, and revise one’s belief in the light of evidence ? Anveshaka explores this question through the rich intellectual traditions of ancient India. Rejecting both the colonial misconception that India contributed little to scientific thought and the modern tendency to project contemporary scientific discoveries onto ancient texts, the book offer a careful, evidence-based examination of India’s remarkable culture of inquiry. It argues that while ancient India did not possess modern science in its present form, it nurtured an enduring scientific disposition that found expression across philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, engineering, linguistics and education.
