Shantiniketan, the cradle for nurturing the finer feelings in human beings and where genuine artistes are encouraged into the world of art has sprung into the news for all the wrong reasons. I'm sure its founder, Rabindranath Tagore, would have never even imagined that such an ignominy would ever befall on the haloed institution!
The ignominy.
A teacher of the institution had decided to make a specimen of a student who'd urinated on her bed while asleep. She made the young student lick the stained bedclothes.
My take.
Now, what sort of barbarism is this? I've a serious doubt as to whether the teacher was of sound mind and analytical thinking. I mean, there're so many ways to deal with such situations which require careful analysis of the problem and handled in a matured manner. How could such a tactless person, with primitive ideas, be given students under her charge, in the first place? And how did she pass through the stiff selection process to be part of the instructor fraternity, when it's clear as daylight, that she's a serious psychological flaw in her persona?
