Question

Explain how "tansen's gift" supports the idea that intelligence does not always come from formal education

Answer 1

Tansen was a boy who did not have a formal education. He had no interest in going to school or learning his lesson, he only wanted to sing.

Tansen faced a dilemma when the Emperor demanded he sing a certain song. This song will ultimately burn the singer and cause damage or death. Tansen knew of this consequence but he had thought of a way where he will sing the song and not lose his life. This is how he showed his intelligence.
