Digitizing 100 yrs Old Vernacular Books | Professor C. S. Yogananda | #SangamTalks

Professor C. S. Yogananda advocates digitising all vernacular books published in India 80-100 years ago as the first major step towards decolonising Indian education. These public-domain texts, rich in indigenous knowledge, currently lie inaccessible in distant libraries. Digitising them makes this vast treasure freely available to everyone, exposing the shallowness of colonial educational frameworks that still dominate Indian classrooms. This exposure sparks curiosity, encouraging readers to seek original manuscripts. It also facilitates the revival of traditional Gurukula pedagogy by reconnecting learners with India’s intellectual heritage. The initiative promises to reshape curricula, challenge outdated systems, and foster a culturally rooted yet modern education system. #DecoloniseEducation #IndicKnowledgeSystems #IndianCivilisation #ManuscriptPreservation #BharatiyaEducation #shorts
