my boyhood, the teacher never appeared in public without the cane in hand. I used to think that once, guru was born clutching a cane in his right hand while the left he held a pinch of snuff between the thumb and forefinger. He took a deep inhalation before proceeding to flick the cane on whatever portion of myself was available for the purpose. I really had no idea what I was expected to do or not do to avoid it. I could never imagine a simple error of calculation in addition, subtraction or multiplication (I never knew which) would drive anyone hysterical.
2. I notice nowadays, a little girl at home always playing school game in a corner of the verandah, but never without a flat wooden foot-rule in hand, which she flourishes menacingly at the pupil assembled in her phantasmagoric classroom. On investigation, I found that the cane, being discredited, has yielded its place to the foot- rule, especially in convent schools. The foot-rule has the advantage over the primitive birch of mauling without marking( which could be counted as an achievement in torturing technique) and it also possesses the Innocent appearance of a non violent, pedagogic equipment. A modern educator, naturally has to adapt his ways to modern circumstances, and put away obsolete weapons. The flat scale is employed only at the primary stage: At higher levels of education, torment to a young soul is deviced in subtler forms progressively; admission, textbooks, and examination all the triple weapons in the hands of an Educators today.
3. In June every father and son go through a purgatory of waiting at the door of every college. Provision of seats, planned in a grand musical chair manner keeps every applicant running fanatically about, unless, as in certain well geared technical colleges, the parents could make a bid in the style of a competitor as a toddy auction.500000 rupees for an engineering seat is considered quite reasonable now a days. I recently met a hopeful father who had just written a cheque of 900000 rupees for two sons in the first year B.E in a certain college. He is a businessman fully aware of the debit and credit value of his action, and must have undertaken the financial sacrifices after due consideration. Those that cannot afford it have to queue up in the corridors of colleges, hunt and gather recommendations, plead, appeal,canvass, and lose weight until they find their names in the list of admission. At the next stage the student will once again queue up, beg, beat about, and appeal- for textbooks this time( specially if it happens to be a Nationalised textbook, which may not be available until the young man is ready to leave the college).
4. Finally, the examination- In a civilized world the examination system should have no place. It is a culmination of all sadistic impulses. Real wrecker of young nerves, however, it is the examination system that wakes up a tension and an anxiety neurosis day-by-day all the year round, all through one's youth, right into middle age( for some).​
