"India's Cultural diversity has left an indelible impact on its education system".
India's rich cultural heritage is an immaculate amalgamation of various practices, refined over the course of 5000 years. Education is the core resource to build a stable and prosperous society, as it was perceived in ancient India.
The Gurukul way of learning was far remote from civilization so as to allow them to function independently. They were thus instrumental in laying the foundation of Indian culture and its sustenance throughout the ages. Their robust curriculum focused on the all-round development of students, stressing molding their physical, critical, creative, and analytical abilities.
Indian history stands as testimony to the fact that our society has embraced and adopted new ideas and cultures — be it a monastery for Buddhist learning, a madrasah for Islamic learning, or a pathshala for Hindu learning. Each one of these learning centers flourished over a period, notwithstanding any social or political conflict.
