Corporal Punishment in India

It's very important to have the sensitivity to understand what is going on in the child's mind, or what is happening when a child does not complete his work on time ... And unless we address those issues, putting the blame on the child or hitting the child with a stick really doesn't serve any purpose. Either the child will become too used to this kind of punishment and the effect will wear off, or a child who is sensitive and anxious by predisposition will feel very vulnerable.
Dr. Sameer Malhotra
Psychiatrist. The quote was a comment on the fact that corporal punishment of pupils is still happening in Indian schools.
