Abstract

From times immemorial it has become very important to critically understand the relevance of the Education System. Education in the truest spirit has to produce original thinkers. Indian education has vested its basis on learning and understanding. The Sanatana Dharma which is the basic foundation for individuals to respect man and nature has stemmed from vedas, upanishads, puranas, dharmashastra, chanakya niti and many more important itihasas and puranas including our two great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Learning’s from these perspectives have led to total development of mind, body and consciousness. The article gives a brief overview of ethical learning in the Indian Educational System.
