dc.description.abstract | In this paper we trace the historical basis of the Gurushishya relationship and explore its implications for modern education. Our hypothesis is that this relationship is rooted in a religious and spiritual basis and that this has influenced the nature of various relationships including the ruler-ruled, employer-employee and teacher-taught relationships in post independence India. We analyse the conflicts arising out of holding on to a deeply ingrained cultural value in our contemporary secular society. We also suggest how to start the process of resolving these conflicts in out educational institutions. | en |
