Abstract
I am sharing about my experiences of being a
student in a school that largely catered to a middle
class neighbourhood with most of the students’
father or mother employed in the same industry but
in different capacities, spanning from a floor cleaner
to director of a department.
I remember, I was in grade 8 and it was Mathematics
class, our teacher was teaching us. The office boy
came and gave a sheet of paper to the teacher. The
teacher said, “I will call out names of children, you
have to collect your scholarship.” She read out few
names and then one more name, this was name of a
bright girl student. She always got in first three ranks
and was liked by the teacher. The teacher even
commented on her dressing and if she wore a T-shirt
the teacher would tell her “good girls” should not be
wearing such clothes. She read out the girl’s name
from the list, the girl jumped from the bench but the
teacher said “Oh! You are a schedule caste, chi chi”.
