Re: Fwd: Fw: My article on federalism

Mr B Shrestha
Nobody arrives in this world full of knowledge. Education itself is enriching one’s knowledge from another’s experience and exposure. All the books we read are based on experience and exposure of other people. I can say this definitively as I have been teaching for almost 40 years. I fully agree that nobody should be misguided to think that what that person knows “is the only truth in the world.” On the other hand people also need to know how to relate what s/he has learnt from others to the ground reality. No truth is absolute truth as things tend to be different based on time, place and circumstance. Finally, knowledge is dynamic, not static and, therefore, a person needs to learn to temper what s/he has learnt based on time, place and circumstance.

With best regards,

Sincerely,

Ratna Sansar Shrestha,

Baburajaju,
I believe in learning things from others’ experiences too. If you think it is wrong to take lessons from others’ experiences but you think what you know and believe is the only truth in the world then I have nothing add.

I know Mahendra Lawoti very well and do read his writings. The last I heard of, he was settled aboard. I am not aware if he has come back. Excuse my ignorance.

Two things I don’t do. One, dignify the allegation of being “followers of Khas chauvinists” by responding to it. Two, I don’t form my opinion based on what others say, whether such things are “illusive myth” or not. I say and write based on what I see, experience and feel.

With best regards,

Sincerely,

Ratna Sansar Shrestha
