[ Education of Prince Mahavira
The reader must have marked well how an Indian teacher behaved with his student and how he realised his responsibility in ancient times. The prents and guardians of the students trusted the teachers. The students were wellbehaved. They always tried to win the favour of their teacher. Both the teacher and the taught were lovingly attached to each other. We do not know if there ever will come a time in India when the teachers and the taught will again meet in the same cheerful and loving manner as they did in ancient times.
