For centuries, India's Gurukul education system was one of the most advanced and holistic learning models in the world. It emphasized experiential learning, value-based education, and intellectual self-reliance—producing scholars, warriors, and visionary leaders who shaped history. However, with the advent of British colonial rule, this profound system was replaced by a rote-based, exam-oriented model, designed to create clerks rather than thinkers. Even after 78 years of independence, India's education system remains largely influenced by British-era policies.

Reviving the Ancient Indian Gurukul Education System explores India's lost educational heritage and presents a compelling case for its revival in the 21st century. This book is a deep dive into the origins, evolution, and downfall of the Gurukul system, providing a roadmap for how it can be blended with modern technology, AI, and digital learning to create an innovative and future-ready education system.
