A school teacher in India has subjected a seven-year-old Muslim student to degrading treatment inside a classroom, asking his classmates to slap him and asking for him to be evicted due to his religion, a video now viral on social media has revealed.

The video, which surfaced on Friday, showed Trapta Tyagi, the teacher at the school in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, making Islamophobic remarks in addition to encouraging other students to slap him harder.

    I don’t disagree at all. And if your worldview allows you to paint 1.4B people with the same brush based on the news you’ve read, also quite horribly bad (and pretty fucking racist) IMO.

      You’ve changed my mind.

      Like all the poor innocent Germans who were lumped in with the government they voted for, supported, and allowed to exist.

      It was wrong to call them Nazis and disapprove of the genocide they were committing!

          Ironic, you quote Godwins law but even Godwin himself has said such a mention is not cause for ending a conversation.

          So instead of missing the point of Godwins law like you have, instead focus on what was said: Why seperate Indians from their state, but not do so with other notable examples of genocide commiters?
