Are private schools putting blinders on our children?

Play all audios:


Let me give an example. In one of my Tipu Palace heritage walks in Bengaluru, as soon as we started talking about Tipu Sultan, one student shouted “He was Anti-Hindu”. I did not think much


of it but in few minutes while I was explaining a war situation, he started shouting “Allah O Akbar” and laughing. This time I stopped him and asked him why he did this. He retorted that


this is what Muslims say, at which, most of the students laughed. Pitifully, so did the teachers. I singled out the student and reprimanded him saying his behaviour might make some of his


classmates feel uncomfortable and that mocking a religion is not good behaviour.
