C Radhakrishnan:
The summary provided interesting reading.Dissent should lead to learning as in the Upanishads where the disciple represents dissent. Dissent as an ex-pression of inviolable personal belief is not creative....
The difference between deprecating dissent and discerning dissent is very obvious, I suppose. The former operates on the principle of himsa and the latter on ahimsa. The former leads to moha or ajnana and the latter to enlightenment. Most dissent in the world today belongs to the former kind. Inter-religious, intra-religious, international or internal-national, it is the same. It leads only to friction, hatred and violence.
