Abstract
There is a crucial debate whether indigenous knowledge (IK) or global knowledge (GK) is more important for a country’s social development. This is widening over time and it is now recognised that IK is much more essential for sustainable development. This paper looks this issue with two communities- blacksmiths and goldsmiths of the two NGOs in Bangladesh. This paper finds that IK in Bangladesh is very valuable, but the quality of IK among the blacksmiths and goldsmiths is very poor that needs to modernize through liquefying GK for social development. Key words: Indigenous knowledge, global knowledge, NGOs, globalization, Bangladesh.
