Schools are far from being the havens of education; learning; discipline; dedication; respect; loving and caring that we we were accustomed to during our growing up years..........
While there is no denying the fact that we played more than our fair share of pranks; mischief; mayhem and left no stone unturned in our relentless efforts to drive our teachers round the bend; everything was done with an air of innocence; naivete and without any malicious intent or then ulteriormotives.........
Now let's turn our attention to schools as they are today; in an incident bordering on the macabre; bizarre, insane and inhuman an unwitting and unsuspecting class VII student of the government run school in Anugonda Village of Mahbubnagar District (Telangana State) was randomly and inexplicably set ablaze by unidentified miscreants late on Tuesday night.............
Narendar (the class VII student and victim) was set upon by a yet to be identified group of miscreants who accosted him and then set him ablaze in the batting of an eyelid; alerted by his piteous cries for help; fellow students residing in the school hostel; cook and watchman of the same facility rushed out and were flabbergasted to see a fellow student up in flames.........
They somehow managed to regain some vestiges of sanity; doused the flames engulfing Narendar and then rushed him to the adjoining district hospital where the doctors pronounced their inability to treat him and advised the victim's family and well wishers to shift him to the Hyderabad based Osmania General Hospital for the much required palliative care and treatment...........
After a good two hours or so; Narendar's sorrowing family members managed to summon an ambulance and rush him to the afore mentioned hospital where the doctors treating him held out little hope of his making a complete recovery as he had suffered extensive "third degree" burn injuries on more than 75% of his fledgling body...........
In what might well turn out to be his dying declaration; Narendar haltingly mentioned the fact that he was set ablaze by a group of students who had surreptitiously emerged from the very bushes in which he was relieving himself on that fateful Tuesday night.........
According to police sources; they are trying to ascertain whether this group of students is the same group that had accused Narendar of stealing money from them while they were in school on Monday and will only be able to carry investigations further if some eyewitness or the other comes forward and corroborates Narendar's statement vis a vis his assailants..........
Like I said earlier; schools today are not even a patch on the schools that we had grown to love and revere during our growing up years..........
