Indian culture is fundamentally rooted in the pursuit of knowledge, and its growth has always been fuelled by curiosity. This very curiosity is the source of the Indian intellectual tradition, manifesting as a stream of inquiry. The answers to these questions, in turn, nourish and enrich this tradition. The enduring practice of dialogue between teacher and student, a tradition of questioning and answering, have been the driving force behind our intellectual advancement, as vividly exemplified in the Vedic literature, especially the Upanishads.

In Vedic corpus, intelligence has been revered as Medha Shakti, Buddhi or anything which is divine. There are different versions of Medha Sukta found in Vedic literature, notably, 6 hymns in Taittiriyaranyaka of the Krishna Yajurveda and 9 hymns appear as a Khilasukta in the Rg Veda. It holds a significant place within the Indian knowledge Tradition, reflecting core values and beliefs about the pursuit of wisdom, as also demonstrating a commitment to an eternal inclination towards the yearning for knowledge.
