Parents in India dread this word ‘corporal punishment’ because it is so rampant in schools across the country. Whether it is a school for the children of the elite class or any category, it is a fact that children are beaten and punished mentally and physically by teachers in schools. More than physical pain, a student undergoes tremendous emotional abuse that affects self-esteem and confidence. An increasing number of students resort to suicides or attempts to do so because they are unable to cope with the emotional abuse and loss of face in front of their classmates.
