Hogwarts, A Gurukool - My theory

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry set-up greatly resembles an ancient Indian concept of learning the things. This concept is known as ‘Gurukool’. Many of you must have heard the word ‘Guru’ which means ‘Teacher’. Techno guru, Management guru are the words that we use in daily lives. 

In ancient India, there used to be 4 class of people. Kshatriya (Warriors), Brahmins, Vaishya, Shudra. Brahmins were the ‘Cardinals’ of Hindu religion. Vaishya class of people were engaged in commerce and Shudras were exploited like nothing. A person of one class was not able to join the professions of other classes. Brahmins were not borne to fight wars and Kshtriyas were not borne to teach religion and God. There were families who can only be warriors and nothing else in life. It was similar in case of other three classes. 

‘Gurukool’ simply means ‘The House of the teacher’. Young Kshtriyas used to go to their teacher’s house, stay there for some years and learn skills of war. Young Brahmins also used to learn the religion and God in the same way. Similar to Hogwarts, Gurukool used to take students at certain age. Hogwarts takes only that class of people 
who are ‘magical’ enough to be there. Kshtriyas never used to learn religion in detail because that was not they were required to do.
 They were borne to fight. 

Similarly, the question of religion and its existence in the castle never comes because that is not what the school had been built. Hogwarts is the part of a society and the most important phase in 
any witch and wizard’s life. It is teaching what is required. Hence, Hogwarts can be called as Gurukool. Though some people may say that religion cannot be detached from any institutions like a school, JKR has given a message by excluding it from the institution called ‘Hogwarts’. Harry potter books will always be greater than 
any religious book because it has done what a religion couldn’t have done and that is-reaching the people’s heart regardless of any religion. Hogwarts doesn’t know any religion. It teaches magic and magic only.
