Teachers, Educationists and Principals seem to be becoming a law unto themselves, what with their unreasonable and highly objectionable demand pertaining to students performing the duties of their personal vassals, maid servants, masseurs, so on and so forth.......
Adding to the student's agony is the dictum pertaining to the teacher being a guru and hence above most if not all reproach and that his "sacred" word should be honoured at all cost that is deeply ingrained in the minds, hearts and souls of students embarking upon an academic career in semi-urban as well as rural India......
Unfortunately, the above mentioned dictum is being blatantly misused by a few unscrupulous and remorseless teachers who have readily embraced the fact that children studying in their schools are nothing more than personal servants and their only purpose in life is to satisfy their whims and fancies.......
One such incident has come to light or then been reported from the Parshuram Defence Academy in Hissar, Haryana where two students respectively aged 8 and 11 steadfastly refused to resume their schooling after the recent summer vacations drew to a close......
According to the hapless students and their worried parents the domineering Principal of this residential school used to summon the students at odd hours and demand a complete body massage from them as if the same was his god given right......
He also used to mercilessly beat up the students and submit them to other forms of vile punishments and tortures whenever the students refused to accede to his unreasonable and unjustified demands according to the harrowed parents.......
On being asked why the children did not want to go back to their school after their summer educations and resume their education, the boys broke down and narrated their traumatic tale of being summoned to his living quarters by the Principal Bhagwan Sharma between 9 pm and 11 pm and being asked to massage his semi clad body......
"The boys were traumatised and terrified beyond all reasonable limits and the very mention of the word massage used to elicit petrified responses from them", the father of one of the boys who refused to rejoin the school alleged in his written complaint about the unbecoming conduct and reprehensible behaviour of this demon masquerading as a principal to the Hissar Deputy Commissioner of Police Amit Agarwal.......
"This very same principal had also threatened the boys with dire consequences if they narrated their sorry tale of exploitation and blatant misuse to either their parents or any other elderly person of any consequence", the harrowed mother of one of the boys went on to allege......
On his part, the DCP has forwarded the complaint of the parents to the sub-divisional magistrate and ordered him to carry out a detailed investigation into this unfortunate episode........
The main accused Sharma however dismisses the charges levelled against him as a conspiracy being hatched by a few parents with an ulterior motive, protests his innocence and attributes the matter to a trivial issue pertaining to the fees chargeable from the students........
One wonders whatever happened to the age old "Guru Shishya" parampara and the dictum about the teacher being a "second parent".........
