In pursuit of simplicity.


















Ayush Kumar Nath, an 8-year-old Class 3 student at Maharishi Vidyamandir School in Tollygunge, informed his class teacher on May 13th that he was feeling unwell at school. His class teacher instructed him to sit with his head bowed. After being made to sit with his head down under the scorching sun from morning until late afternoon, he began to feel even more unwell. Nevertheless, his class teacher ordered him to carry his own bag. While descending the stairs with the heavy bag, the ailing Ayush lost his balance and tumbled down. He sustained a severe head injury and was admitted to the hospital. Ayush suffered a brain hemorrhage and slipped into a coma; ten days later last Tuesday he passed away. Subsequently, the parents of the students erupted in protest. They alleged that, over the past ten days, the school authorities had not even bothered to make a single inquiry. They demanded the arrest of the Head of Management, Shaktipada Jana; the Principal, Susmita Chakraborty; and the class teacher in question, Pragya Sahu. They were indeed arrested, but for some 'unknown' reason, they were released within just one day. When the parents reiterated their demand for re-arrest today, the police baton-charged them. Is this the change people wanted where protesting to demand justice for the death of a child results in a baton charge? Where, even if the culprits are arrested, they are released within moments? #JusticeForAyush
