In a startling video that has gone viral, a class 8 student from a private school in Coimbatore, tamil Nadu, is shown sitting by herself on a stairway outside her classroom doing her exams. Surprisingly, the student was apparently prohibited from entering the classroom due to an issue over which neither she nor any other female had any authority. Find out by reading.
 
According to reports, the student's menstruation prevented her from entering the classroom. The girl's mother taped the video, which went viral and sparked a social media frenzy in which people harshly criticized the school administration.

The girl is heard in the video stating that after her teacher told the principal about her periods, they both agreed to bar her from the classroom and force her to take the test while seated on the steps. It was surprising to learn that this was not the first time it had occurred. According to reports, the child was required to retake her exam from two days ago in the same format.
 
The voice of her mother is audible, asking, "Does someone's period imply they can't sit in class and write their exams?  Should they write while sitting on the road?

The district Education Officer has sent a show-cause letter to the school administration.  The principal who is in charge of this has allegedly been suspended by the school administration.  The school administration has also made the startling allegation that the girl's mother told them about her period and requested that they initially assign her to a separate seat.
 
Despite the nation's tremendous success in other areas, taboos surrounding menstruation and women's sexual health still exist in some places. At the same time, it is depressing and alarming. What are your thoughts?
