Abstract: Indian Sciences and Mathematics represent one of the world’s oldest continuous traditions of systematic inquiry, integrating empirical observation, logical reasoning, and philosophical reflection. From Vedic astronomy and Ayurvedic medicine to classical mathematical innovations such as zero, decimal notation, and algebra, Indian knowledge systems significantly shaped global scientific thought. This paper critically examines the epistemological foundations, historical evolution, major contributions, pedagogical methods, and contemporary relevance of Indian Sciences and Mathematics. Drawing upon classical texts, secondary scholarship, and interdisciplinary analysis, the study highlights the scientific rationality embedded in traditional Indian knowledge while situating it within modern academic discourse. The paper also identifies challenges, limitations, and future research directions necessary for meaningful integration into contemporary education and research frameworks.
Keywords: Indian Sciences, Mathematics, Knowledge Systems, Epistemology, History of Science.
