Before a student curious about Indic knowledge can dive into a specific area of study, it helps to get a tour of the overall landscape, what its branches are, and how they are relevant to modern disciplines. This talk gives a birds-eye view of the taxonomy and organization of Indic Knowledge Disciplines and draws parallels with contemporary ones. The talk throws light on the original context of each Indic discipline, and its current or potential use in the contemporary world. It also helps one identify where to look for Indic sources/perspectives relevant to a modern discipline, say, psychology, logic, social sciences, computation, etc.
