The Detention

What had started as a bright had become a nightmare for Sahithi as she sat through the post lunch classes. The word had already spread about her rebellious attitude and the teachers seemed determined to snuff it out as soon as they could. Her bottom bore the marks of discipline meted out to her for outrageously silly reasons. As she listened to the lectures her mind drifted to her experience in the previous school.

“Varna system was explained by Sri Krishna in the Bhagavadgita very clearly dispelling the doubts of Arjuna that are unfortunately the doubts of most of the people today.” Her Sanskrit teacher had said. As can be seen in the slokas 1.39 through 1.44, Arjuna talks of caste purity, a fear of inter-varna marriages, change of one’s varna, etc. He appears to be afraid that the society will be spoiled if people change the varna of their birth and appears to be advocating a varna based on birth.”

The chapters eleven and twelve must not be taken as an attempt to defame any country or religion. Since the main lead is brought up in Bharat, the thought process, values, mores followed by the main lead will reflect the same. The idea is to show the contrast in thinking, teaching and the conditions she has to go through in this school when compared to her previous experiences. Since I am not acquainted with Abrahamic religions, I am not touching them. Nor am I trying to show Sanatana Dharma in a bad light. The choice of names is coincidental and bear no ill will towards anyone.
