Dear list,

Here is a rebuttal of the claim that Guru-Shishya Parampara was oppressive and that it smothered intellectual freedom, and lacked openness.

Scroll, I understand, did not respond when this was first sent to them.

Thanks, Hemant Dave ji for sharing. 

Sneha ji shared this in our WhatsApp groups. 

The groups knew the original article which was the context. 

https://scroll.in/article/1090081/how-the-traditional-guru-shishya-system-undermined-critical-thinking-in-india

I did not share it here as I thought that the original article itself was not brought here. 

Thanks again.
