Panchatantra Classes in Basavanagudi, Bangalore
The oldest stories India told about being clever
The Panchatantra was written to teach princes how the world actually works, and it shows — its animals are not sweet, they are shrewd. Read properly it is a course in niti, practical judgment, wrapped inside the oldest frame narrative India produced: stories that open inside other stories.

The oldest stories India told about being clever
A general moral-stories class asks what the right thing to do was. The Panchatantra more often asks what the clever thing was, and those are not always the same answer — which is exactly why children argue about it. We teach the tales as the argument they are, and the frame structure as a storytelling technique the child can then use themselves.
Discussion of what a tale actually recommends, which is often arguable
Retelling practice — the same fable told three different ways
Sanskrit names and niti terms kept, and explained
Animal characterisation treated as a craft tool the child can reuse
