| Summary, etc | Environmental sustainability has become the most discussed global concern in last two decades. Despite several steps by global leaders and national level efforts, the environmental degradation has not been sufficiently arrested. The environmental degradation has threatened the life on the earth in shape of global warming, climate change, increase of frequent floods and draughts, pollution in air, water and soil. These have adverse impact on human life, bio-diversity, economic affairs like reduced farm productivity, health hazards etc. Further, human and anthropogenic activities are the main source of the environmental degradation. Hundreds of laws to regulate these activities, dozens of governmental agencies and voluntary efforts have been engaged to check the degradation but the things are worsening day by day. Here the question is why? In this context, the present paper looks back in to the traditional Indian wisdom which regulated the public and personal life in a way conducive to environmental sustainability. It has been found that our traditional wisdom reflected in ancient literature like Vedas, Puranas, Gita, Epics, Mahabharat and political discourses (Kautilya’s Arthshastra) etc. have prescribed responsibility of state (ruler/King) and obligation of citizens to conserve nature. The people obeyed those environment friendly prescriptions and the religiously. All these need to be considered in contemporary relevance. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXI%20No.%201%20Jan-June.%202024.pdf |
