Where lies humanitarianism?
It was appalling to read about the warden who forced a Std V girl to drink/lick her urine after she wet her bed!
It is even more shocking that this took place in Shantiniketan- the very place sanctified by Rabindranath Tagore! They have trampled upon his vision. I have been so inspired by Gurudev's methods of teaching that this incident brought tears.
Imagine the trauma that little child. I shudder!
Even more shocking is that the teacher was jailed for just one day and she is out on bail! She should have been assigned to a psychotherapist!
It is common knowledge today that bed wetting happens to due to either physiological or psychological reasons. No human would do it on his/her will. It is an involuntary action.
If only the teacher had empathized ? If only the teacher had thought of the girl as her own ?
How much does it take to be humane??
