Which of the following subjects were taught at ancient Indian universities? A.…

Concept

Ancient Indian centres of higher learning taught broad curricula. Their subjects should be identified through historically attested disciplinary traditions rather than by applying later modern academic labels. Logic and debate, medicine, and philosophical systems are repeatedly associated with centres such as Takshashila and Nalanda.

Application

• Logic developed methods of inference and debate.

• Medicine covered traditions of health, diagnosis, and treatment.

• Philosophy included the study and comparison of major schools of thought.

Therefore, C, D and E form the historically supported group.

Contrast

• Journalism is a modern professional academic field and is not part of the standard historical curriculum lists for these universities.

• Environmental Science is likewise a modern disciplinary title, although ancient learning included knowledge about nature and the environment.

Result

The appropriate combination is C, D and E only.
