It
is well known that the ancient Indian scriptures had lot of wisdom
stored in them. However neglect of Sanskrit and failure of our
masters, probably by design to belittle the mighty civilisation and
subdue it has been an ongoing process till very recently. Indian had
been ruled by foreigners or weak, fragmented rulers for almost ten
centuries has also led to the decay in our thought process and
civilisation, This needs to be rectified and earlier the better.
Indian
weakness in poor documentation and less belief in scientific approach
and research has been the second reason for the decline.
Course
correction to overhaul the decay and neglect of thousands of years is
a gigantic task and requires herculean effort. Cynicism by western
educated experts and vested western industry would be the biggest
obstacles in the way ahead.
The
course correction should be undertaken in the following stages.
Stage
1.
Translate
the scriptures into authentic versions in all Indian languages and
have these uploaded in E-library. Plenty of retired people can help
with minimal costs.
Patent
all wisdom.
Stage
2
Discover
new herbs and shrubs of medicinal values since lost and help
cultivation of the same. In the hill regions of J&K, HP, UK and
tribal have a good knowledge about herbs which is not known to
mainstream intellectuals. Collecting these would give a huge
repository and retrieval of wisdom passed down the ages.
Stage
3
Research
and development followed by proper testing of Yoga benefits and
Ayurved and other Indian systems of medicines. Lay down norms
akin to ISO for testing the medications.
Put
the tested practises/medicines through Indian
formulated ISO norms.
Stage
4.
Introduction
of the proven systems/items
into the Indian way of life. Introduce
with governmental organisations and then in the open market.
Benefits
Planting
medicinal, ornamental and commercial plants in the barren hills;
foothills; wastelands, backwaters, astride roads/canals/railway
lines, parks in the cities as part of jobs-growth-empowerment and
dovetailing into the overall design of environments would create
millions of jobs.
