This study examines the historical foundations of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) with particular emphasis on its contributions to chemistry, aiming to bridge traditional chemical knowledge with modern scientific understanding. An interdisciplinary approach involving the analysis of ancient texts, archaeological evidence, and scholarly literature is employed to identify documented chemical concepts and practices, which are subsequently compared with principles of contemporary chemistry. Selected case studies highlight the continued relevance and practical applicability of traditional Indian chemical knowledge. The findings reveal that ancient India possessed a well-developed scientific tradition grounded in systematic observation, experimentation, and holistic interpretation of natural phenomena. The study emphasizes the importance of revitalizing IKS and its integration into mainstream chemistry education to strengthen scientific heritage, promote sustainability, and foster innovation.
