Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Why blame Kejriwal when the CBSE and the Haryana government forced every private school to install Such cameras in class rooms following the murder of a child in a school near Sohna?
I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic while reading this sobering article on the unalloyed joys of childhood and school. But is it not a testament to the times in which we live that the vital civic and social choices that we are led to take are increasingly becoming undemocratic and arbitrary, a fascist superstructure notable by the gullible willingness with which it is being accepted by the people at large. God forbid! but from now on every unfortunate incident will be stripped off its human element and our sense of outrage rendered meaningless and out-of-place when the culprit will be identified as the proverbial flaw in the system?
Totally agree Sir. Installing camera in classroom is a strict no no. It will take away the little bit of freedom the kids & teacher have to just be themselves in the school surronded by CCTVs everywhere. It’s a paradigm and reminds me of Jim Carrey’s The Trueman Show. Today we are caught in our own mess.
CCTVs are fine but this is taking it too far. On one hand, we don’t have infrastructure in entire rural India–a teacher for entire school that comprises of several classes and no proper toilets or electricity, on the other hand, it is this sort of expenditure. It will lead to two Indias–one rural and semi-rural, the other METRO India.
Must confess to something truly naughty at age 5, St Xavier’s Dhobi Talao. Was made to kneel before the class teacher on a couple of occasions, for trivial reasons. Third time, realised it offered an unimpeded view. Lady caught me in the act, blushed crimson, never troubled me again.

Kejriwal used to cough a lot which he always wanted to hide from cctv
Oh the irony. This is exactly the point on Aadhar that Mr. Gupta fails to see.
