A joint research initiative between the University of Peshawar and international experts has led to the decipherment of a set of Kharosthi inscriptions found near the ruins of the ancient Taxila University. The inscriptions, dating to the late Kushan period, detail a code of 'Intellectual Responsibility' intended for students and teachers alike.
The text outlines the ethical obligations of a scholar, emphasizing that knowledge must be pursued with a spirit of 'Dhyana' (meditation) and 'Satya' (truth), while warning against the use of logic to deceive the public. This find offers a rare glimpse into the pedagogical philosophy of one of the world's oldest learning centers and its commitment to integrating moral character with academic excellence.
