Menstruating Dalit Student Made To Take Exams Outside Class In Tamil Nadu
A Class 8 student of a private school in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore was forced to take her exams outside the classroom, apparently because she was menstruating. A video of the girl - who happens to be a Dalit -- sitting on the steps of the classroom was widely circulated, drawing action from the authorities. An inquiry has been ordered and the headmistress of the school has been suspended.
