Legacy of Case Study Method

The Great King (Chandra Gupta) Bhatti Vikramadithya cracked several cases put forth by the
vethala. The vethala described several social, political and managerial issues and paradoxes
which were intelligently solved by Vikramaditya. They were all cases where wise decisions were
made in the context of that peculiar situation.

Pancha Thantra stories followed an unique way of enabling learning by children. They teach
morals to be embibed in the minds of children. Abimanyu learnt cracking of Padma viyugam
from womb, as was described by Lord Krishna. Paramartha Guru and His Five Sishyas teach our
children how ignorant they should not be. These are all nothing but case studies under different
names, enabling the reader or listener to position himself in that situation and think and act
swiftly
