This thread may be confusing because I'm trying to put together various things in one thread... sorry I'm not a writer, just a typer.
I guess I'm comparing my brother-in-law's relationship with his teachers to my relationship with my teachers...
I'm comparing the status of teachers in islam to the status that they are given in the present times...
I'm looking at how the western teachers just present the notes and leave, whereas desi teachers actually influence your personality...
Sorry, it is confusing but I'm sure you get the hang of it, so plz fire away with your opinions.
Cheers.
