Achievement of the Ancient Hindu way of Propagation of Education and suggestion of incorporation of some of the methods in the teaching of the modern Medical Education in India: Look back to go forward

The great Author F. Max Muller said that if written scripts were not invented the Indian scholars would have retained the treasure house of the knowledge of the Hindus in their memory even today with the same efficiency as of today’s written world of knowledge. The question appears here is what went wrong? Why the students cannot be taught how to learn a vast amount of literature as efficiently as the Hindus did for 9 millennia and more.Medical science is progressing in a quick stride. The amount of research materials being updated daily is very high. Expectations of patients and their attendants are also increasing day by day. The modern-day treating Doctors need to be aware of more things today than a hundred years back. The studies show that many patients may suffer from death or complications if their treating Doctors are not learned enough. It cannot be overemphasized that a learned Healer is way better than one who is half learned. The present-day experimentation with the teaching methods of the medical subjects needs to be revisited, at least in India. The experimentation of teaching the teachers in newer teaching methods and the introduction of the ATCOM module may or may not bear fruit. The involvement of non-treating faculties in imparting crucial parts of teaching like attitudes and communications in the hospital high tension areas will not be successful. Just the way a great Chef cannot train a Sniper, the same way this will surely fail. The proper person at a proper teaching position should be followed. A short advanced course in Medical Education, A short Fellowship or publication of few papers on education will not convert a Nontreating faculty equivalent to the faculty of Surgery. Theoretically, it sounds good,but in reality, it probably won’t work. The students would bein confusion.


Introduction
Much experimentation is going on in the system of modern medical education in India. The introduction of sub-specialties has opened up more challenges and debates.The original thought of improvement of medical care on the introduction of the courses hascreated problems and complicacy. Not only the "treatment as a whole" principle suffered, the complexity of knowing about "more and more of less and less" failed to deliver the desired goal of improved medical care in India. The now-disbanded Medical Council of India is to blame on the mess.
Ideas without vision have ruined the medical education system. It was a welcome step that the MCI is replaced with NMC now. However, it seems that in the disguise, the same degenerate ideas are running the show. It can't be denied that Indian Doctors continue to shine the world over. These doctors shine on their own merits. The system has very little to offer for their success. At this juncture,a holistic approach to the teaching methods of modern medical science needs to be followed. To be able to successfully treat the ill person as a whole by a lead healer should be an ideal situation.
Sending referral has become the norm. As a result, nobody cares and very few are cured of a serious problem. The COVID 19 Pandemic has exposed the situation well. We are now depending on the MBBS Passed professionals as well as the Final year students for treating the population in such a dreadful condition. The importance of specialists now has proven the benefits of a step ladder approach in medical education and health care. Severely inefficient and insufficient super specialists are now in self-quarantine and pitifully inadequate for managing this pandemic. At such a crossroad the constitution of an Education department has opened up new complications.
The NMC members are selected by strict criteria, but the head of the education department is not, thereby making the education system a corrupt, biased, and inefficient body. Ancient Hindus were great in education and Rig Veda is considered to be the earliest written literature. The way the ancient Hindus thought and taught wasvery interesting. May we look back to this treasure house of the ancient wisdom of the Hindus in their education system and apply some of the ideas in the modern-day teaching of Medical science, to improve the delivery of health care to the ill and needy.  The first includes all the in-born Characters and capacities. This is the Genetic Characters or qualities by the birth of the child. These qualities were already there and could not be influenced or changed.The second is the environmental effects on the child. This includes his language, manners, customs, and beliefs, but also by the guidance that comes from the seniors, family members, and the surrounding community. This is probably akin to Phenotype. These external influences actually show the outside world the identity of the students. The  was also taught in an equally effective way.

Review of literature
The Ayurvedic treating subjects comprised of eight branches: The teachers were dedicated to the treating branches and were considered an expert in their fields. Students used to flock to the teachers for learning the subject, in which they were interested.
No teachers, who were not involved in treating, were allowed to teach the treating subjects. The sanctity and purity were thus maintained during the ancient Hindu methods of Medicine. Because of the purity of the ancient system, the subject was gaining importance. Interested people from far and wide places used to come to learn the branches of

Discussion
The ancient Hindus had a written script from almost 6000 years from today. It was a treasure house of knowledge. The Rishis used to put great emphasis on purity of character. The students were eager to learn and used to come to the homes of their teachers for a part of their lives. They used to be initiated into the life of a Brahmacharya. The purity of thought, Rigorous daily activities, simple food, away from any greed or lust, and celibacy were considered of vital importance during the student period of Brahmacharya. Any student found wanting in these aspects would be turned back from the school. The lifestyle of the students was such that their mind will only be focused on learning. This period used to be anything from 6 years to 18 years when they would be certified to be fit to leave the school and will be allowed to get married and live a family life.

Conclusion
It is high time that these ancient principles of the Hindu Educators be looked into and utilized to propagate knowledge in Medical education in India. With the introduction of some of the disciplines and methods like recitation, committing to memory of the mnemonics, and the basic emergency protocols with the help of the teachers from the non-treating branches, this can be attained. A properly educated Treating doctor is an asset to society. By applying some methods of the ancient Hindu style of teaching as well as learning, the standard of teaching of the medical treating subjects can be made reliably efficient.
