On March 10, 2026, in Sangareddy district's Turkala Khanapur, a faculty member named Shiva Reddy at the Ratnapuri Institute of Technology decided that 15 first-year Polytechnic students hadn't completed their homework. His solution? A wooden stick. Applied directly to students. Multiple students. For incomplete homework. At a technology institute in 2026. Parents stormed the campus. Student organizations — ABVP, NSUI, CPI(M) — united in rare agreement: this wasn't discipline, it was assault. Police arrived. Complaints were filed. But here's the thing: this isn't isolated. In Kerala's Kannur, a dental college HOD named Dr. M.K. Ram allegedly subjected students to "routine intimidation, body shaming, and both mental and physical abuse" before a student named Nithin Raj died by suicide in April 2026 [citation:5]. In Almora, six senior medical students were suspended for ragging juniors — forcing them to do clerical work under threats of physical harm [citation:6]. And in Telangana's Ratnapuri, parents demanded Shiva Reddy be produced before them. Because when teachers beat children with sticks for homework, the problem isn't the students — it's the system that still allows educators to confuse a classroom with a torture chamber. ]]> Wed 13 May 2026 18:07:04 +0200 https://theync.com/video/6408/telangana-s-homework-or-hospital-curriculum-15-students-beaten-0-lessons-learned/
