A private school in Indore has been asked by the Education Department to maintain “all religion harmony” after it allegedly disallowed a student from sporting a tilak (religious mark on forehead with vermilion), an official said on Sunday.
A video of the student standing outside Shree Bal Vigyan Shishu Vihar Higher Secondary School claiming he was not allowed inside as he was sporting a tilak was widely circulated on social media. The student also claimed that the school authorities had said they would give him his TC in case he repeated the act.
Another video showed some people arguing with school authorities on how they could stop someone from coming to an educational institution simply because he sported a tilak.
