Product Overview
Our childhood becomes exhausted and hollow within the confines of a syllabus. Yet, sometimes, a sudden gust of fresh air arrives to overturn everything and declare the true essence of education. This portrait is of such an author. Through his questions, a teacher teaches how to know the unknown, challenge stagnation, and look power in the eye with conviction. In the desert of modern education, a silent revolution takes place. The path less travelled may not be smooth, but finding the joy of walking it is the student's ultimate achievement and the teacher's greatest reward. While the sixteen chapters of Classroom-er Rupkatha (Fairytales of the Classroom) are distinct, they are woven together in a tight-knit tapestry. They carry the warmth of our childhood fables, much like the tender embrace of a mother’s affection. The author makes the reader reflect on how society, politics, geography, science, and history are not isolated, but born and nurtured from the same thread in the world’s classroom. Will the cry for self-inquiry liberate the traditional "parrot-like" structure of education? Only the future will tell. The author, too, awaits that dawn.
