Christian school: Kid beaten for wearing Kumkum

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.

Though the headmistress Miss S Solomon denied the incident, such incidents are common in all the missionary run schools. The problem is acute with first generation converts who are known to have intolerance towards their pre-conversion religion
