Several Indian cricketers including captain Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa have reacted strongly to a viral video showing a young girl being bullied by a woman during a study session.
Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa have reacted strongly to a video doing the rounds on social media. The video shows a young girl being bullied by a woman during a study session as she tries to narrate the numbers. She is also beaten if she makes a mistake. The Indian cricketers have condemned the act, reacting to the terrorized reaction of the kid who constantly pleads to avoid the thrashing.
Team India skipper Virat Kohli, who is very active on social media, shared with video with a message, "The fact that the pain and anger of the child is ignored and ones own ego to make the child learn is so massive that compassion has totally gone out of the window. This is shocking and saddening to another dimension. A child can never learn if intimidated. This is hurtful."
Dhawan wrote, "I request parents to be patient with ur kids at all times. Every child learns at his own pace. Pls refrain from beating/degrading them." alongside the video.
“Is that how you going to bring up your child? Absolutely disgraceful and disturbing behaviour by this parent you need to give your child love and compassion to get the best out of them! Unacceptable,” wrote Yuvraj Singh on his Instagram handle.
Robin Uthappa wrote, "This is heart wrenching. Children shouldn't be raised this way. This needs to stop. I pray we can raise our kids with love instead of fear."
Kohli and Dhawan are in Sri Lanka as the Men in Blue will play the first of their 5 ODIs against the island nation on Sunday.
