A viral video from a Kendriya Vidyalaya in Jehanabad, Bihar, has ignited widespread controversy after a female teacher, identified as Deepali Shah from Delhi, was seen making derogatory remarks against the people of Bihar while venting frustration over her posting in the region.
Controversial Remarks and Outburst
In the video, Shah is visibly upset about being posted in Jehanabad and questions why she was not assigned to locations like Ladakh, Goa, or South India. During her rant, she used expletives and made disparaging comments about the civic sense of Bihar’s residents, asserting that excluding the region would transform India into a developed nation. Her language and tone have sparked outrage, with many critics condemning her behavior as unbecoming of a teacher, a figure traditionally seen as a role model.
Response from School and Authorities
The incident has drawn mixed reactions. The principal of the Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ravindra Ram, described the issue as a personal matter for the teacher, refraining from public comment but confirming that higher authorities have been notified. In addition, the District Magistrate of Jehanabad has taken cognisance of the video, promising a thorough investigation to verify its authenticity and to ensure that appropriate action is taken if the teacher is found culpable.
