Abstract: The Indian Knowledge System is not merely a system but it is a lifestyle chosen by Indian sages after a great research on life.  These sages were the holy hermits who continuously worked on the temperament of human beings and selected a great life style which sooner converted into religion. It is great tradition of valuable knowledge which gives us moral lessons in every field life. It covers science, Arts, Literature, philosophy, conventional science. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni in her The Forest of Enchantments (2019) has given a beautiful account of old Indian knowledge system which aims to carry forward the wisdom of Jnan, Vignan, and Jeevan Darshan to the next generation. The present paper is an attempt to criticize her descriptions of Indian Knowledge system through the Ecological perspective and highlight the practical utility of the noel in solving contemporary problems.
