As a fellow Indian growing up in 90s, I feel you. I had my fair share of beatings from teachers in school.

There were cases where parents who found it challenging to control their kids, would encourage teachers to use physical force on them. Parents deemed it was school's responsibility to instill discipline in their children.

As far as I can recall, use of violence to control kids was pretty common back in the day, both at home and at school. I don't see that happening nowadays, though.



Thankfully, My parents who were both teachers specifically told my teachers not to hurt me physically and my teachers actually listensed to them.
