Traditional ways of knowledge sharing :
Books, Historians, Ancestors, Teachers
There are multiple platforms are available for sharing the information but here a
question arises who to share the knowledge with.
Reasons for getting the knowledge and skill protected
There are many reason for protecting the knowledge.
The knowledge and intelligence are something that can not be bought .
The knowledge should belong to only those who have put rigorous efforts and have the conscience to use the same
Many believes that the countries like India and Egypt are far behind than they deserve to be because of knowledge not being shared with the generations to come, up to some extent this is true also but not completely.
The knowledge sharing got associated with the nepotism.
"I WOULD NOT SHARE MY SKILLS KNOWLWDGE WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN MY SON/DAUGHTER/FAMILY MEMBER/SPECFIC COMMUNITY"
Let us look at the scenarios from the other angle.
In Mahabharata Eklavya and Karna both wanted to learn from Guru Drone but
got denial.
Many would say because of their lower status in the community they were rejected but is it true.
Why the most unstable countries are denied the nuclear powers .All they want to do is misuse the power
Is it some thing they do not deserve OR "they can not control" ?
Another example from Mahabharata only, Lord Krishna managed to keep Barbarik the son of mighty Bheem away from the battle, because he knew he had
enormous power and would end up killing both the sides (Kauravas and Pandvas) in seconds.
Protecting Knowledge and sharing with some one deserving is the critical part and the responsibility of the wise.
