Dear All,
The Guru-Shishya tradition has been the backbone of many generations in the past. It has honed several great icons in our country. However, in the last 100-200 years this tradition has gradually diminished.
It is natural for people of today's world to question anything before acceptance.
In the same way, can we question why not revive this tradition?
In the same way, can we question why the English style of education should be be continued?
Many times the chain of events which help one's life to prosper materially, blinds us from the very fact that education, which is the base for our prosperity today may have its own flip sides.
Just like any constitution can be amended, just like any organization can be restructured, just like any modern fertilizer or medicine can be found later be hazardous, similarly there needs to be a probe into seeing whether our current educational system really over powers the inherent strengths that were available in the Guru-Shishya tradition.
We may well remember the modern educational system was after all brought in during the British rule. So why not take a re-look at it? There might be some amicable solution - at least a blend of two to help the current and future generations to benefit from the perspective change that will come over our minds during the course of discussion in this thread.
