A video of nursery teachers practising the viral children’s song “Aaha Tamatar Bada Majedar” has taken the internet by storm, but not for the right reasons. Shared on Instagram, the footage shows a group of teachers dressed in uniforms, performing the popular tune as part of their training session. However, the video has sparked outrage among social media users, who question the appropriateness of such training in the education system.
The video, which has been viewed over 2.5 million times, faced harsh criticism from online users, with many expressing disapproval over the song choice and questioning the standard of education being imparted. One user wrote, “Real tamasha. It’s not all about education,” while another commented, “See how embarrassing.”
Several users criticized the exercise as demeaning to teachers, with one remarking, “Private schools have turned teachers into something worse than jokers.”

The conversation quickly shifted to a broader criticism of the Indian education system. “It’s better to learn phonetics or other important topics for the future,” one commenter stated, while another added, “This is really a sad part… The institute is earning out of this joke. I pity teachers now.”
Many expressed frustration over the apparent commercialization of education, with one user saying, “Teachers are tools of business for school management.”
The video also raised concerns about the treatment of teachers in private schools, with many questioning why they were required to wear uniforms. “Teachers don’t even have the right to dress. They have been given uniforms. Why????” one user asked.
The criticism continued in the comments section, with one user summing up the frustration: “Seriously, it’s our education system. After this, the kid will go home and make a reel on this.” Another user pointed out, “Teachers have special classes only for rhymes also,” highlighting concerns over the content of teacher training programs.
While the song may have gained viral fame for its catchy tune, its role in teacher training has sparked a serious conversation about education standards and the treatment of educators in India.
