Kerala High Court Reviews Suspension of Teacher Over V.D. Savarkar Quiz Question
The Kerala High Court is reviewing the suspension of teacher K. Guruprasad Rai, who was suspended after including a quiz question naming V.D. Savarkar as the freedom fighter who faced the most British punishment. The court questioned the necessity of suspension when disciplinary proceedings were ongoing and sought the state's specific reasons. The controversy arose from a school quiz in Kasaragod, with the teacher challenging the suspension as disproportionate and alleging it was due to the question's perceived sensitivity.
