This book demonstrates how traditional knowledge can be connected
to the modern world. Human knowledge of housing, health and
agriculture dates back thousands of years, with old wisdom
developing and becoming modern. But in the past few decades, global
communities have increasingly become aware that some of this
valuable knowledge has fallen by the wayside. This has sparked
systematic efforts at the local, national and global levels to
connect this neglected knowledge to the modern world. It discusses
the origin of the topic, its importance, recent developments in
India and abroad, and what is being done and still needs to be done
in order to preserve India's traditional knowledge. The discussions
address a broad range of fields and organizations: from Basmati
rice to Ayurvedic cosmetics; from traditional irrigation and folk
music to modern drug discovery and climate change adaptation; and
from the Biodiversity Convention to the WHO, WTO and WIPO.
