&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Multiple government schools in Saharanpur have accepted the practice of children from minority communities cleaning school premises and toilets, while the upper caste students look on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saharanpur: &lt;/em&gt;Semi-urban and rural India have perennial issues that their urban counterparts choose to ignore. Caste discrimination is one such issue that becomes evident when one crosses over to villages bordering Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brijesh Devi, one of the rare scheduled caste principals, is one of the three teachers in a school which has over 200 students from classes one to five in Baliyakhedi village. The principal claimed 71 of her students are from the scheduled caste, while 121 of them belong to other backward classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have no other option but to make children clean the campus and sometimes toilets as well. However, upper caste parents have strictly told us not to involve their children in the process. The upper caste students come in at 9 am and leave around 3 pm. The other children come early to tidy up the school,&amp;rdquo; said Brijesh Devi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When News18 visited the school, two girls belonging to the scheduled caste community walked out of their classroom to offer water. &amp;ldquo;How can you expect the teachers to teach as well as clean and then attend visitors,&amp;rdquo; said the principal, who claims to hail from a government school herself where caste discrimination was more than evident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While children are very young to understand caste principles, this discrimination is being doctored into their tender minds. &amp;ldquo;The entire class is my friend. I play with everyone,&amp;rdquo; said 10-year-old Shikha Devi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The student then went on to name three boys who, regardless of the time they enter the class, are made to sit close to the teacher every day. The child doesn&amp;rsquo;t exactly understand the reason but was aware that it had something to do with their family. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t know why this happens. Maybe they are weak students and their Maa&amp;ndash;Bapu (mother-father) want them to sit close to the teacher,&amp;rdquo; she said laughingly, her innocence clear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The principal decided to not address the practice and began talking about how the government has turned a deaf ear to their pleas for better facilities.&lt;br /&gt;

Caste discrimination is one such issue that becomes evident when one crosses over to villages bordering Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brijesh Devi, one of the rare scheduled caste principals, is one of the three teachers in a school which has over 200 students from classes one to five in Baliyakhedi village. The principal claimed 71 of her students are from the scheduled caste, while 121 of them belong to other backward classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;We have no other option but to make children clean the campus and sometimes toilets as well. However, upper caste parents have strictly told us not to involve their children in the process. The upper caste students come in at 9 am and leave around 3 pm. The other children come early to tidy up the school,&amp;rdquo; said Brijesh Devi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When News18 visited the school, two girls belonging to the scheduled caste community walked out of their classroom to offer water. &amp;ldquo;How can you expect the teachers to teach as well as clean and then attend visitors,&amp;rdquo; said the principal, who claims to hail from a government school herself where caste discrimination was more than evident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While children are very young to understand caste principles, this discrimination is being doctored into their tender minds. &amp;ldquo;The entire class is my friend. I play with everyone,&amp;rdquo; said 10-year-old Shikha Devi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The student then went on to name three boys who, regardless of the time they enter the class, are made to sit close to the teacher every day. The child doesn&amp;rsquo;t exactly understand the reason but was aware that it had something to do with their family. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t know why this happens. Maybe they are weak students and their Maa&amp;ndash;Bapu (mother-father) want them to sit close to the teacher,&amp;rdquo; she said laughingly, her innocence clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The principal decided to not address the practice and began talking about how the government has turned a deaf ear to their pleas for better facilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.news18.com/news/india/beingadalit-in-ups-saharanpur-caste-discrimination-begins-from-classrooms-1682529.html&quot; title=&quot;https://www.news18.com/news/india/beingadalit-in-ups-saharanpur-caste-discrimination-begins-from-classrooms-1682529.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Multiple government schools in Saharanpur have accepted the practice of children from minority communities cleaning school premises and toilets, while the upper caste students look on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saharanpur: &lt;/em&gt;Semi-urban and rural India have perennial issues that their urban counterparts choose to ignore. Caste discrimination is one such issue that becomes evident when one crosses over to villages bordering Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brijesh Devi, one of the rare scheduled caste principals, is one of the three teachers in a school which has over 200 students from classes one to five in Baliyakhedi village. The principal claimed 71 of her students are from the scheduled caste, while 121 of them belong to other backward classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have no other option but to make children clean the campus and sometimes toilets as well. However, upper caste parents have strictly told us not to involve their children in the process. The upper caste students come in at 9 am and leave around 3 pm. The other children come early to tidy up the school,&amp;rdquo; said Brijesh Devi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When News18 visited the school, two girls belonging to the scheduled caste community walked out of their classroom to offer water. &amp;ldquo;How can you expect the teachers to teach as well as clean and then attend visitors,&amp;rdquo; said the principal, who claims to hail from a government school herself where caste discrimination was more than evident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While children are very young to understand caste principles, this discrimination is being doctored into their tender minds. &amp;ldquo;The entire class is my friend. I play with everyone,&amp;rdquo; said 10-year-old Shikha Devi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Multiple government schools in Saharanpur have accepted the practice of children from minority communities cleaning school premises and toilets, while the upper caste students look on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saharanpur: &lt;/em&gt;Semi-urban and rural India have perennial issues that their urban counterparts choose to ignore. Caste discrimination is one such issue that becomes evident when one crosses over to villages bordering Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brijesh Devi, one of the rare scheduled caste principals, is one of the three teachers in a school which has over 200 students from classes one to five in Baliyakhedi village. The principal claimed 71 of her students are from the scheduled caste, while 121 of them belong to other backward classes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have no other option but to make children clean the campus and sometimes toilets as well. However, upper caste parents have strictly told us not to involve their children in the process. The upper caste students come in at 9 am and leave around 3 pm. The other children come early to tidy up the school,&amp;rdquo; said Brijesh Devi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When News18 visited the school, two girls belonging to the scheduled caste community walked out of their classroom to offer water. &amp;ldquo;How can you expect the teachers to teach as well as clean and then attend visitors,&amp;rdquo; said the principal, who claims to hail from a government school herself where caste discrimination was more than evident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While children are very young to understand caste principles, this discrimination is being doctored into their tender minds. &amp;ldquo;The entire class is my friend. I play with everyone,&amp;rdquo; said 10-year-old Shikha Devi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The student then went on to name three boys who, regardless of the time they enter the class, are made to sit close to the teacher every day. The child doesn&amp;rsquo;t exactly understand the reason but was aware that it had something to do with their family. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t know why this happens. Maybe they are weak students and their Maa&amp;ndash;Bapu (mother-father) want them to sit close to the teacher,&amp;rdquo; she said laughingly, her innocence clear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The principal decided to not address the practice and began talking about how the government has turned a deaf ear to their pleas for better facilities.&lt;br /&gt;

In UP's Saharanpur, Caste Discrimination Begins from Classrooms -Rounak Kumar Gunjan

-News18.com Multiple government schools in Saharanpur have accepted the practice of children from minority communities cleaning school premises and toilets, while the upper caste students look on. Saharanpur: Semi-urban and rural India have perennial issues that their urban counterparts choose to ignore. Caste discrimination is one such issue that becomes evident when one crosses over to villages bordering Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Brijesh Devi, one of the rare scheduled caste principals, is one of the three teachers in a school which has over 200 students from classes one to five in Baliyakhedi village. The principal claimed 71 of her students are from the scheduled caste, while 121 of them belong to other backward classes. “We have no other option but to make children clean the campus and sometimes toilets as well. However, upper caste parents have strictly told us not to involve their children in the process. The upper caste students come in at 9 am and leave around 3 pm. The other children come early to tidy up the school,” said Brijesh Devi. When News18 visited the school, two girls belonging to the scheduled caste community walked out of their classroom to offer water. “How can you expect the teachers to teach as well as clean and then attend visitors,” said the principal, who claims to hail from a government school herself where caste discrimination was more than evident. While children are very young to understand caste principles, this discrimination is being doctored into their tender minds. “The entire class is my friend. I play with everyone,” said 10-year-old Shikha Devi. The student then went on to name three boys who, regardless of the time they enter the class, are made to sit close to the teacher every day. The child doesn’t exactly understand the reason but was aware that it had something to do with their family. “I don’t know why this happens. Maybe they are weak students and their Maa–Bapu (mother-father) want them to sit close to the teacher,” she said laughingly, her innocence clear. The principal decided to not address the practice and began talking about how the government has turned a deaf ear to their pleas for better facilities. Please click here to read more.
