Tale of two cities

As a consequence to making children's education a fundamental right parliament enacted an Act and created a commission known as national commission of protection of child rights.
The commission recently convened a public hearing at Chennai to listen to grievances of people.I was invited to be a member of jury.Hundreds of complaints were heard and redressed.

Some time back tamil nadu govt had fixed fee for students of private schools.Against this decision teachers of thirty thousand schools had gone on strike for two days.the parents of students of these schools complained against teachers and management.they wanted compensation.I was surprised to see dozens of people arguing vehemently against teachers who went on two days strike against the interest of students. Besides seeking monetary compensation these people also wanted teachers to teach their children on holidays.

In Srinagar teachers did not teach their students for six months and nobody complained.
