The newspapers are calling it a bizarre incident, to look politically correct. I'm calling it Christian religious fanaticism gone too far.
New Delhi: In a bizarre incident, a student was allegedly beat up by his teacher for attending the school wearing kumkum and mala.
Sarvesh Yadav, a fifth standard student of Hyderabad's St Christ Church School, claims he was beaten up by his English teacher and sent home for wearing kumkum and mala after taking the Ayappaswamy diksha.
He was also not allowed to appear for his exams. His mother, Jyoti Yadav, says they had not been told about any such rule. "How can wearing a bindi be this big an issue. If he doesn't want to follow the rules, let him sit at home," she says.
But the school authorities denied the allegations. "All these days, we have allowed him to wear that dress. But they had made some plan when they came to school today. We don't have any religious bias and treat all children equally—be it Christians, Muslim or Hindus," says the headmistress, Miss S Solomon.
The school has been provided security by the police after an angry mob allegedly manhandled the school incharge.
How nice of the Christians! Not allowing a child to sit for his examination because he wore a red mark on his forehead.
This sort of sh*t goes on all over India in missionary schools. They are ruthless in imposing their religious views on everyone. I don't have a problem with that, but they should make it clear to anyone joining the school that he is going to be force-fed Christian propaganda, which they don't make clear. They also denigrate every religion other than their brand of Christianity.

Why have such a special tolerance for Hindus and not Muslims given the general tenor of your posts here?
