Absolutely. I told my PhD guide βI am not working under you. I am working WITH you. We must have that mutual respect in place.β
I give credit to my PhD guide Prof Ghatak that he was not offended with my comment and today even after 13 yrs of my PhD we share a fantastic bond.

It's understood when a fine PhD work is accomplished.. it's the effort of students and the guide. Guides should not feel insecure and students should be humble to acknowledge and be thankful.
