Oxford University, considered one of the toughest universities to get into, invariably challenges potential students with interview questions that push them to think on their feet, think independently and laterally and show an ability to apply theory thereby showing their real ability and potential.
Some of the questions are:
a) Is violence always political?
b) Does 'political' means something different in different contexts?
c) Why do lions have manes?
d) Why ladybirds and strawberries have red colors?
e) In a world where English is a global language why learn French?
f) If the punishment for parking on double yellow lines were death and therefore nobody did it, would that be just and effective law?
Compare this with the Indian education system that is geared towards rote learning rather than cognitive development and imagination.
Do we need to change?
How do we practice this style of learning?
