Examining Authority, Discipline, and Pedagogical Shifts in Indian Education
Two recent articles examine challenges in Indian education culture. One highlights two tragic incidents involving alleged teacher-inflicted harm and student violence, urging reflection on authority, discipline, and respect in schools. The other contrasts traditional Guru Bhakti pedagogy, emphasizing reverence for teachers, with modern student-centred approaches shaped by policies promoting measurable outcomes and autonomy, noting bureaucratic pressures on teaching methods. Both pieces call for a balanced understanding of authority, dignity, and evolving educational practices.
