    One of the MLA who claims to be a Doctor is a born lier. He was present during the protest and later denied in Assembly after FIR lodged against him. Shame on both MLA's.

    Start the criminal case against culprit conspirator Veda Vyasa and culprit viral message lady. Arrest both of them immediately without bail. Are the children of antisocial viral message lady studying in this school??? State government should start special investigation against culprit viral message lady. Vidhana Sabha speaker should give permission for special investigation so that viral message lady should get maximum jail term.

    Teachers generally don’t talk ill about religion and holy books. They may raise some questions about customs followed by certain religions to enlighten students of other religions. When I was in school, my teacher taught me Purandara Dasa"s song "Bevu Bella Dholidharenu Phala Ranga; Haavighe Haleredharenu Phala". Then he opened up the subject for discussion to form our own opinion whether it is right or wrong. When I grew up, I came to know that there was a custom of naked procession of young girls (Bethale Seve) to please Gods. In this case there was no room to form positive opinion at all. Later Govt. banned it. It is teacher's duty to teach critical thinking on philosophical poems of Rabindranath Tagore. Students are free to ask questions and clarify any doubts. Statues made out of stone, mud or metal are there to remind the people about particular person or God. Critically thinking they are what they are. Faith, logic, and realty do not go together. If I say there are apples growing in a orange tree and someone believes it, that is his belief. I think Tagore's philosophical poem is not appropriate for 7th graders who may like "Chandamama" stories.

    He is a sincere IAS officer, now the big trouble for main culprit Veda Vyasa. Why RSS is against Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, B R Ambedkar, educational institutions, lower caste people and Dalits?. From 1925 onwards they are doing only bad things for the society. They killed 79 years old Mahatma Gandhi. Have they built any hospitals, any educational institutions, any houses for poor? Did they gave any land to poor? They are against educational institutions, poor and God.

    Don't jump the gun ..have patience..just don't pass your instant judgement without knowing the facts.....truth will come out of not now sometimes later. 2008 attack on Christian community is the best example. Moreover, today's children are different than yester years, who used to speak truth looking at the stick in their Teacher's hands. In this case it's all a mess cooked up by some one who doesn't understand the English poem written by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore . It's a shame on educated illiterates of Mangalore.

    Akash, don't succumb to pressure/demand of Hindutva groups, they have not done good to society. Please conduct your probe efficiently and believe in your conscience. We need Christian schools to impart quality education that too with secular mindset. They haven't forced kids to chant Jai Sri Ram!
