Teacher's day? 'Master' makes students massage his feet inside UP's school | WATCH

New Delhi: In a disturbing video from Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad district has surfaced, showing a teacher reclining on two chairs while his students press his feet. The video, reportedly filmed at a government inter-college in the Fariha area of Firozabad, has ignited widespread outrage online.

In the footage, the teacher is seen completely neglecting his educational duties, choosing instead to have students massage his legs during class time. As the video spread across social media platforms, users expressed shock and dismay at the teacher's actions.

Are teachers in government exploiting kids?

Many pointed out that teachers in government schools are paid substantial salaries to educate students, yet this particular teacher has clearly brought dishonor to the respected profession. The thought of merely asking the students of the school to massage feet of the master is in itself sheerly disgraceful.

The timing of the video release only added to the controversy, as it coincided with India’s celebration of Teachers' Day, a day meant to honor the contributions of educators, particularly in memory of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The irony of the situation was not lost on the public, who condemned the teacher’s behavior as "completely unacceptable" and a disgrace to the noble calling of teaching.

Video of the incident surfaces online

The viral clip has stirred significant debate over the ethics and responsibilities of educators, with many calling for strict action against the teacher in question.
