      Ive graduated from DU in commerce stream and i remember studying a book on Indian culture and philosophy only once in the very first semester, that too was under the Four-year Undergraduate plan which has now been removed so cant say what they teach now. However i studied Indian philosophy, higher education in India in pre-independence and post independence era, it was quite comprehensive, under Paper 1 in NET(National Eligibility Test) which is pretty much compulsory if you want to become a professer of any kind. Paper 1 is common to all no matter which stream you are from.

      Years ago Mumbai University used to offer a major in Ancient Indian Culture at UG level with Indian Philosophy being one of the six papers, the other papers being Anc. Indian Art & Architecture, Literature, Religion, Society, State & Polity. Today this course has been watered down with the inclusion of Archaeology, Museology and Heritage Management which could have been kept as a single paper with more emphasis on the previous course papers.

    Hi Abhijeet, good to see you covering philosophy! :)
    Small correction: Indian philosophy did not stop evolving 1000 years ago. 2 of the prominent Vedanta schools - VishistAdvaita and Dvaita thrived post 1000 CE, propounded by Acharya Ramanuja and Acharya Madhva respectively. Even during the Vijayanagar empire in 15th century there were incredible Vedanta works being composed. Basic Nyaya-Vaisesika text called Tarka Sangraha taught in Gurukulas today was composed as late as 17th century in Andhra Pradesh! :)

    Also Indian philosophy goes much deeper than just this. India has a deep history of the philosophy of language, including Panini (morphological derivation), Bhartihari (liars paradox, very unique Sphota concept), Jaimini, Katyayana (both talk about relation of how language is formed in our brain before we utter, it relationship of words with real world phenomena the word is referring too, etc - Wittgenstein's precursor in field), Sangam Period philosophy literature (Tolkappiyam, Tirrukural - both amazing books on grammar, ethics, epistemology, etc). Not to mention how deep each of the philosophies you mentioned go. For example Buddhism has Yogachara (first delve into consciousness unparalleled to any ancient tradition) & Nagarjuna's Madhamika.

    Indian teachings are about attaining enlightenment. Basic teaching is to ask the question "Who am I ?".

    Enlightenment is when we experientially get answer to "Who am I"

    My curriculum as a Post Graduate student in Philosophy has a mixed blend of Eastern (Indian subcontinent) and Western (Ancient Greek, British, German and American) philosophies. The current lot of academicians are hell bend on making comparative studies. The comparison is mostly between Indian schools of philosophy and Western philosophers. In India, importance has always been given to schools of philosophy unlike the western world where a philosophical idea is almost entirely the brainchild of a particular philosopher. Hence the fascination with western influence like most of us have today with the influencers of culture, ideology, choices, habits, profession and more. I think it's easier to connet to a person with an ideology than the ideology itself. I might be wrong though. However, I am writing this because in my 1st semester I have 3 papers from Indian Philosophy and 1 each from Western Logic and Western Philosophy out of total 5 papers. So there is ample content I am studying from Indian Philosophy at this point. This ratio will balance itself in subsequent semesters, I am sure. Gandhiji himself borrowed his philosophical beliefs from both the Eastern and Western world. His ideologies of Human freedom and Civil disobedience were borrowed from philosophy of 'The Bhagwat Gita' and the american philosopher and naturalist 'Henry David Thoreau'. Food for thought-Sanskrit should be taught sacrosanctly and studied vehemently to arouse interest in Indian philosophy. It should be mandated compulsarily into our education irrespective of the boards and as early as in the primary classes.

      Although north india and south indian had similar culture and religion , but north indians had trade and cultural relations with central asians and europeans of that time (read about indo aryan superstate of mittani ) . So you'll find linguistic similarities between sanskrit and many european languages
      But tamilians had no cultural connection with any foreign land so tamil remained here in india and gradually evolved itself and influenced south indian languages like Telugu , malyalam etc..
