On October 20th, during the 'Navtarang 2023-24' cultural fest at ABES College, faculty members expelled a student from the stage for responding to 'Jai Shri Ram' chants from the audience. Videos of the incident triggered an online controversy, with many demanding justice for the student and an investigation into the faculty's actions.

In response to the public outcry, Professor Mamata Gautam, involved in the incident, clarified her actions in a video, asserting her support for the 'Jai Shri Ram' slogan and claiming her intervention was to prevent discord. In the video, it can be seen that the teacher was speaking rudely to the student.

Does a teacher, a prominent figure in a student's life, speaking with such aggression seem appropriate? Is it right for a teacher to confront a student just because they are a teacher? The incident also raised concerns about the misjudgment of the student's actions, as the video clearly shows that the student was responding to the crowd. Moreover, the teacher's comments about 'Jai Shri Ram' being 'bekaar ki baatein' in a cultural fest, a platform meant to showcase Indian culture, are questionable. It's essential to remember that disrespecting any religion is wrong, and such actions go against the principles of mutual respect and understanding that education should foster. The incident not only questions the actions of these two teachers but also brings to light the issue of teacher bias and aggression in conveying their personal ideologies. Moreover, the threat issued by the teacher and the misjudgment of the student's argument must be addressed and clarified. A teacher should be an impartial guide, not someone who displays aggression and bias in their actions and words. This incident should serve as a reminder to reflect on the values and principles we uphold in educational institutions. 

Meanwhile, the college director, Sanjay Singh, assured the formation of an investigation committee, leading to the suspension of the two faculty members involved. Simultaneously, the Ghaziabad police initiated an inquiry, promising to act based on the committee's findings.

The incident spurred a protest by members of the Hindu Raksha Dal at the college gate, demanding the expulsion of the faculty members responsible. Director Sanjay Singh condemned the behavior of the faculty members as inappropriate and stressed the necessity of taking strict action against them following the investigating committee's findings.

The incident raises questions about the woke mentality and its impact. The teachers' aggression and misjudgment were not justified, and the apparent bias in the teacher's voice indicated a hurt ideology. The threat issued by the teacher in the clarification video and the absence of evidence supporting the claim of the student arguing raise concerns about potential biases being passed on to the students. Such instances highlight the need to evaluate the prevalent woke mentality and ensure that education fosters understanding and respect for all viewpoints, avoiding discrimination or bias.

Amidst the controversy, it's crucial to question the appropriateness of a teacher's aggressive language towards a student. The misjudgments and assumptions made by the teacher in the video seem unjustified.

In light of the incident at ABES College, it's essential to emphasize the importance of open communication and mutual understanding within educational institutions. Encouraging constructive dialogue and fostering inclusivity and respect can prevent similar incidents in the future. Educational environments should be safe spaces for students to express their beliefs without fear of discrimination. By embracing diversity and promoting tolerance, we can create a more harmonious and inclusive society where differing viewpoints are respected. Through these efforts, we can celebrate unity amidst diversity.
