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.

    Are you a brahmin or why would you describe talking to someone from a lower caste as ‘not great’?

    Just kidding.

      I guess they are saying that if you speak to a person of lower caste, especially of dark skin you will understand their struggle. (But I am a naive person so my explanation might be hopelessly optimistic about people)
