Why the Indian academic fraternity is scared of exceptionally brilliant Professors who tend to have great fan following of students?

It is always seen that in every institution/ university in India will have 90% traditional and unexciting Teachers and Professors who make academics most unexciting and discouraging part of student lives while 10% exceptionally brilliant Teachers and Professors create a spark among the students by generating excitement for whom students get self-motivated to attend their classes and take interest in studies. However, the others do not learn anything from this phenomena and launch attack against the brilliant faculty members by poisoning the ears of 'management' against them with all types of stupid cock and bull stories and in most cases finally these outstanding teachers are forced to leave the institution with disappointment. Since the below average lot of faculty tend to stick to the same institution from day one till their last day, the 'management' consider them to be 'loyal' and trust them more than the Principal, Dean, Director or VC !

Unfortunately, the 'management' do not listen to the students in such matters and I often see such outstanding faculty members lose interest and many of them get demotivated.

When the academic fraternity will learn a lesson and will learn to admire and value excellence over so called 'loyalty' of incompetent lot and will raise the bar of Indian education. I must say that none of the Indian institutions are out of this tragic epic including IITs and IIMs which had already lost best of their faculty members who are teaching in various institutions across the world.
