Online Classes, Tragedy, Misogyny

Kerala's schools reopened with much glee as the classes were to be conducted online.

On June 2, the newspapers reported this: A class 10 student of Irumbiliyam GHSS, Devika took her life by setting herself ablaze, according to her parents, said a Mathrubhumi report.

The student's death created a huge furore.

This is another instance of the deep-rooted misogyny in Kerala society.
