corporal punishments in India

As we all know, the punishments given to school children in India are more severe.most of the schools aim at corporal punishments which are not encouraged by people.Children of the rural people and children of the people who belong to the families of the lower castes become the soft victims. Some teachers hold hatred against people of certain religious belief and they do not like to find students from such religious community in their classes.

Students of the poor families are the common target. Their parents are so poor that they can hardly protest. Generally they belong to the tribal community or to the community of the scavengers. Children of the rural people and children of the people who belong to the families of the lower castes become the soft victims. Some teachers hold hatred against people of certain religious belief and they do not like to find students from such religious community in their classes.A section of the Indian teachers has always been creative in finding out methods to punish the students. You may be terrified to learn how everyday hundreds of innocent kids in this great country are being persecuted by such persons who have accepted the honorable profession of grooming the little ones. You may be ashamed to learn that many of such teachers are even women. The printing and electronic media have highlighted series of such news in the recent years, news describing plight of the students in different public and private schools.

A teacher using total strength of his vocal chord in order to scold a little boy is a common spectacle in different schools. He does not care when the targeted child just screams before him. His fingers and hand are the primary weapons which he uses against the hapless kids. He plucks out hairs of a student simply by the first attempt. He drags a student by his ears and uses sticks of varieties of shapes and sizes and of different thickness. Dusters are also used to hit a student who sits at a distance. Sometimes children cannot withstand such tortures and become sick. Sometimes they bleed and even they require medication. Sometimes a child demands hospitalization. Children do not want to attend classes and a few of them become patients who need services of the counselors. Some children are not good in preparing home tasks and some of them find it difficult to follow the teachers. Their parents cannot provide washed and neat school uniforms regularly. Most of the time teachers decide not to touch them. They use humiliating languages referring to the economic and cultural standard of those students and thus hit them psychologically.

Teachers forcing children to play with their private parts,assaulting a boy sexually or molesting a girl are not rare in India. There are incidents of death due to torture at the hand of the teachers. There are such predators in the educational centers. It is a matter of great surprise that these infamous teachers are rarely penalized. In most of the cases they are spared and are allowed to bring about hell in the centers of primary or secondary education.
