Teachers sprinkled cow urine on low-caste students to purify them and drive away evil, the Times of India reported yesterday. Upper-caste headteacher Sharad Kaithade ordered the ritual after taking over from a lower-caste predecessor at a school in a remote village in the western state of Maharashtra earlier this month.
"She said you'll study well after getting purified," student Rajat Washnik was quoted as saying by the CNN-IBN news channel. Students said they felt humiliated. The newspaper said two teachers were arrested after angry parents complained to police. They have been released on bail.
"Released on bail" WTF they should be hanged right?
