Teacher in India has underperforming students gulp down chili water

Six students of Class VII at Khairjhiti government middle school in Mahasamund, were doing poorly in their studies. Fed up with their underperformance, their teacher Tirathram Gajendra, asked them to get red-chilli powder from home. The students were then asked to mix the powder in water and gulp it down.

According to information, when the students narrated the incident to their parents, they approached the principal.

Accepting his mistake, the teacher explained that he was experimenting with the phrase "Tote ke samaan ratne" (learn by heart like a parrot) on students. He felt that as parrots fondly eat chilies, (and are known for their 'rat na' prowess) administering a dose of red chili water to students would actually help them enhance their powers of rote-learning.
