Case method of teaching is one of the key pedagogical tools to create an experiential learning environment in the classroom. Through this chapter, the author tries to trace the ramifications for creating a platform for effective learning using questioning techniques to facilitate development of critical thinking skills. This is done by tracing the importance of a method adopted by the Greek philosopher Socrates, the essays of Indian scholar Ramanujan, and the stories by Vishnu Sharma. The authors draw inferences from real-time classroom experiences to bring out the analogies. The perspective developed by the author signifies the importance of reflecting the ‘learnings from past' to create benchmarks for management education in the current context.
