**Debate the traditional Method of Indian Education.** Indeed, the outstanding tradition of Indian Education is to give the fullest scope to differences of opinion and to debate and discussion at which such differences were freely fought out, thrashed out, and solved. It is never to take anything on trust, but each must test and discover for himself afresh, and in his own way, the truth he is taught. The "direct perception of truth" was both the means and end of education. This has been the time-honoured traditional method of Indian Education through the ages since the days of the Vedas and Upanishads, as we have amply seen.
