Listen "Are Professions Noble?"
Episode Synopsis
Professions in India such as doctors, advocates and teachers have been accorded an elevated status of nobility. The idea that professions are noble has a range of consequences in terms of their regulatory and judicial treatment.
In this hard-hitting episode, Anupam Manur & Shrikrishna Upadhyaya question the idea of nobility attached to professions. They discuss how professionals are burdened with restrictions relating to advertisements & marketing, client solicitation, and earning profits, that in turn have skewed the market for delivery of these important services.
