Impact of Ancient Nature Sensibility on Contemporary Indian Environmental Policies

Abstract

Modern times have seen an increase in environmental concerns. There are ongoing national and international efforts to find solution to this issue. India is an important player in the environmental endeavour. It is one of ancient civilisation with remarkable environmental history too. Indian culture and customs exhibit a strong nature sensibility. This article seeks to analyse the influence of ancient consciousness on contemporary policies. It examines the Indian culture as the ideational factor behind the environmental strategy. The old conscience has inspired modern policymakers to review ancient knowledge and use it into contemporary environmental actions. The old wisdom has served as a perpetual source of inspiration for modern innovations.
