    School suspends students for hugging. First they were made to apologize. Then they cracked into their Instagram accounts to dig up pictures which they shared privately to incriminate and suspend them. Child rights committee passed an interim order giving them relief, but then the court took them to a prude Kerala High court who justified cracking into their instagram accounts (hasn't the HC received memo from SC on right to privacy yet??).
    Now fuckers have been trying to get the girl to falsely implicate the boy.

    (The parents seem to be supportive of them though.)

      On many nights, I cried to sleep: Teen girl expelled from school for a hug tells TNM
      from The News Minute
      “I cried to sleep for many nights. I felt voiceless, felt like I could never speak up for myself.” These are the words of a 16-year-old girl who was expelled from her school for merely hugging her friend.  Speaking out for the first time ever, Gayatri*, a Class 11 student of the St Thomas Central School in Kerala’s capital Thiruvananthapuram, recounted her trauma and the ordeal that she had to go through for a hug, which her school authorities pinned down as an act of indiscipline.

      Many people have spoken about how widespread the problem is.
      Example: A girl was thrashed for talking another girl of "bad reputation" - which is that the second girl had dated someone.

        Discipline in School = Slut-Shaming, Hug-Banning & Moral Policing?
        from The Quint
        Slut-shamed for a hug. Detained for wearing your hair loose. Punished for talking to a boy. When will this stop?

        School is going to take back students .. after some conditions are met. Looks like Shashi Tharoor, MP from INC in Trivandrum has something to do with it.

          Kerala school to take back students expelled for hug, after meeting with Shashi Tharoor
          from The News Minute
          Finally, some positive news from the St Thomas Central School in Thiruvananthapuram, where two students were expelled for hugging each other on campus. The school has now decided to take the students back, after a meeting with MP Shashi Tharoor at his office in the Kerala capital. After TNM broke the story about the expulsion of the two students for a congratulatory hug during an Arts festival in the school, the incident got widespread attention and stirred a heated controversy in Kerala.
