Video: Former Students Get Beaten With Cane By Principal To Relive Memories

In a bid to relive memories, a group of former students of a school decided to celebrate their reunion in a rather unconventional manner: by getting caned by their former principal. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), user Krishna shared a short clip documenting the school reunion where a man, presumably the school principal, is seen caning his former students. The students, who are now professionals - teachers, advocates and police officials - wore white shirts and pants, and appeared in front of their principal one by one. The principal, thereafter, beat all the students with a cane in a moment that evoked memories of their "great school life". 

"Here's a strange reunion of old students of a school.!  There are collectors, police officers, doctors, advocates, principals, teachers, businessmen and owners of  schools ! All of them have a desire.... The Principal should beat them with his cane  to help them recollect their great school life...... Why because..  they believe  that they reached greater heights in their life as a result of  the "cane blessing " they got at the hands of the Principal," the X user wrote while sharing the video.

"The principal priest appeared to be thoroughly relishing the moment, perhaps he could have shown a bit more mercy and gentleness towards those venerable behinds. Nevertheless, as long as everyone is in good spirits and finding humor in it, so be it!" commented another. 

However, one user wrote, "How is this even funny ? I recall being hit on the knuckles with a metal scale , when I was 8 years old . It was scary and painful . When a teacher threw a duster on my 4 year old for talking , I went to school and did a Tandav !Nobody gets to hit kids". 

"If teacher does something like this today to kids they will be suspended," commented one user.
