‘Wisdom was meant for the mansion, not for the marketplace’ -What does this statement signify?
Advertisements
उत्तर
During the monarchical or feudal days, universities had to train scholars and poets to adorn the chambers of royalty or the gilded mansions of the lords and nobles. Those were the days when eminent scholars were not asked to confront the problems of the masses. They were content to work in secluded places. So, the speaker says that their wisdom was meant for the mansion and not for the marketplace.
