From urban planning in the Indus Valley to advances in metallurgy, architecture, water management, textiles, and mechanical engineering, traditional Indian technologies were sustainable, context-specific, and socially embedded. This paper critically examines Indian technology and engineering traditions within the framework of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). It analyzes philosophical foundations, historical evolution, sector-specific innovations, and contemporary relevance. The study argues that traditional Indian engineering knowledge offers valuable insights for sustainable development, resilient infrastructure, and inclusive technological innovation in the modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Indian Technology, Engineering Traditions, Indian Knowledge Systems, Traditional Innovation, Sustainable Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 284-287<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/284-287.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Pankaj Kumar Paul DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03050031 Abstract: Indian technology and engineering traditions represent a rich and sophisticated body of knowledge developed through centuries of empirical observation, experimentation, and integration with philosophical and ethical principles.
