Day after Rahul comment, Stephen’s says college encourages questioning
New Delhi, October 22 : A day after Rahul Gandhi said that St Stephen’s College in the Capital did not encourage its students to ask questions in classrooms, the college, its teachers, students and alumni questioned the veracity of the comment.
Most students — both present and former — and teachers said on Wednesday that Stephen’s has had a history of prodding its pupils to be involved in classroom by asking more questions.
The comment led the usually quiet Vijay Tankha, a faculty in the Department of Philosophy and Dean (Academics), to take a dig at the AICC general secretary. He said the Amethi MP might have asked too many questions in the wrong class. “A history class is quite crowded, so he may have been asked to bring his questions to the tutorial or talk to the teacher after class instead of asking them during the lecture.
<b>“We should probably check to see how many tutorials he attended in his brief stint in college.” </b>
