TANAHUN: The only Sanskrit school of Tanahun district is not
attracting Brahmin children, but Dalit students.
An increasing number of Dalit children are attracted by Gyankunja
Maharsi Bedbyas Sanskrit Secondary School situated at Byas
Municipality-10. Majority of the students in the Sanskrit school are
Dalits.
With the Brahmin and Chhetri communities admitting their children in
expensive private schools, it's hard to even find non-Dalit students
studying Sanskrit, said school headmaster Tulsi Sharan Sigdel.
He said the number of Brahmin and Chhetri students fell down sharply
following the end of the conflict in the country. Earlier, during the
conflict there were 15 Brahmin students in the school that was
established to impart Sanskrit education to students of all
communities.
Of 205 students in the school, majority are Dalits. After Dalits, the
Muslim community accounts for the highest number of students, Sigdel
said. "It's our pleasure that we have more number of Muslim students
today."
A teacher of the school, Krishna Raj Tiwari, said it was unfortunate
that the number of students is decreasing even though the school
boasts of sound physical infrastructure.
